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).

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      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.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
