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.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
