@WCBROYHILL: @josephperson Poor talent evaluation in 2008-2011 draft.34 Picks, Only 14 still w team, 5 starters, This should be the core #HurneyFired.

Ill pass on the appreciation... But from what we've been hearing he's a great dude... I feel bad for him in that respect.

The above tweet captures most of our issues though

I hope he lands on his feet. I would never wish ill on him.

He has had a hand in crippling this franchise and should have been removed from his duties a while ago. With that being said, he has handled himself with a ton of class and never once deflected responsibility. I have a large amount of respect for that quality. Not so much for his talent evaluation or leadership of the team.

Saw marty once at a Charlotte Knights game. Just walking around with some other guy, marty had a beer in each hand. We hung out near him and eavesdropped. He was just shooting it with the other guy. Seemed like a pretty cool guy, and from what I've heard and read, he was.

That said, I thought that he should have been let go when Foxy was shown the door. .

I was trying to decide which was the best draft in Panthers history the other day and since Marty has been here for all but the first few it's pretty much the same question. Anyways, I could not come up with a solid answer, I could see arguments being made for several depending on how you define "best".

I would probably argue that 2001 is the best. It wasn't the best in terms of longevity or lasting impact on the team, but it terms of talent evaluation it was pretty damn solid. Our first three picks that year all became All-Pros:

Round 1 (11) - Dan Morgan

Round 2 (44) - Kris Jenkins

Round 3 (74) - Steve Smith

The three of them have combined for 7 All-Pro and 10 Pro-Bowl selections. They were also three key parts of the only Panthers squad to ever make it to the Super Bowl. The rest of that draft didn't pan out, but IMO the success of the first 3 picks makes it the best in Panthers/Hurney history.

Who wants to take this one?

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
