Eric Davis: JR does not make personnel decisions...

On NFL AM this morning, the topic of Hurney's firing came up and Eric Davis emphatically said JR does not make player personnel decisions...

Personally, I'm inclined to believe Davis and he would know better than any of us, or the local media.

If you watch the vid, Davis suggested that he still maintains a friendship with JR and knows him well enough to know that JR doesn't make player personnel decisions... he hires people to make those decisions.

Davis is not involved in the day-to-day operations of the Panthers, but generally this kind of behavior/management philosophy doesn't change.

So we've got Hurney declaring that he was making all the decisions and Eric Davis backing that up, but folks are still convinced JR is calling all the shots? LOL

Double

its comparable to attitudes regarding john fox... he's such a nice guy, such a "player's guy" that it's hard to see past the intense love and loyalty for a really really good guy to see that he's got major flaws.

hopefully this is a sign jerry is thinking with his brain and not his heart. the latter will get you in trouble in the NFL.

    • Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows
    • I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.
    • Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
