Its no news flash that Carolina fired the GM, got it.

But firing the GM midseason is a POWERFUL statement. The GM picks players, coaches, salaries, FAs, training staff etc. What was Jerry saying when he made this move?

Was he saying that the team is bad because of the players?

If so, then it is probably going to shock EVERYONE with who remains after this Offseason.

Was he saying that the Coaches suck that bad?

If thats the case why fire the GM now and not later. He still got paid. Jerry is obviously not against coaches getting fired midseason.

The salary situation would be the obvious first guess, but if that is the only reason it still shocks me that Hurney was let go like that. You would think that letting him go like that would preclude his hires, i.e. Rivera to be left making personnel decisions. Not that I miss him or anything, just saying, it was eyeopening.

Whatever the reason for it, Carolina Panthers is going to be a lot different next year. A lot more than just a few new rookies and a top FA. The entire make up of our team is going to change. We are known for hanging on to draft picks waiting for them to pan out. I think that will be the first thing to change. (second if you count the uniform revolution, lol)

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
