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)

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
