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.

    • Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .  
    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
