So we know Hurney is gone. With that, what else may be gone? Loyalty. Why? Hurney was loyal to a lot of these players. Hence the big fat contracts and 'taking care' of our own. That's all well and good, but not when it's hindering the progress of the team.

Hurney is now out of the picture, what does that mean? The new GM that comes in will have no loyalty what-so-ever to any of the old vets or players other than the young core of guys. Cam, Kalil, LaFell, Stew, etc.

It would not surprise me if the new GM goes on a trading and Cutting spree and remoulds this roster to cater to Newton.

So guys like DeAngelo, Beason, Gross, Smith, etc. May be on their way out.

Anyone else think this may happen with the new GM?

It'll certainly happen, if they're seen as expendable by the new GM. As long as they show their worth, they'll be fine. It's been said a million times, but nobody's job is safe. They have to earn it from here on out. No more free pass just because Hurney likes you. This is a good thing.

whats with all the captain obvious threads today?? but yeah the new GM should do whatever he has to do to make this team a consistent winner, very happy about the change. others may disagree but the timing of this excites me as well, shows JR isnt as comfortable with inconsistency as we thought...

Man When you sit back and think, Hurney really George W Bushed this team by spending like a drunken sailor with nothing to show for it. D Will/J Stew massively underperforming, CJ disappointing, Beason IR, Gamble IR, Kalil IR. Sure the injuries arent Hurney's fault but be that as it may, the fact is we have tons and tons of money tied up in dead weight right now.

If I was the new GM the only players I would deem 100% safe off the bat would be Cam, Kuechly and maybe Kalil but only he proves he can play like his old self after his surgery. Gross is aging, Gamble is also aging and got hurt. Oh and Stewie I would keep also.

We all know it's coming. Some of us are sure what it will mean. DLo is gone, Beason is gone, Smith is gone, Johnson is gone, Gross is gone, and 2 years from now, we will be better for it.

Cam will win a Super Bowl in Carolina.

D-lo, probably.

Beason, will depend on how he bounces back and if he will willingly move outside. The middle belongs to Kuechly now. Also depends on if he can still play like he used to. He had a bad year this year.

Smith, possibly. He won't be flatly cut. Whenever Smith is no longer a Panther, it will be on Smith's terms. Bank on that.

Johnson, doubt it.

Gross, doubt it (unless he retires).

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
