What would Marty Hurney do if he wasn't fired....

Odds are he would do some light restructures (magic) and keep HIS roster intact. Then head to the draft. Is there a chance the new GM is exactly what Hurney was?

It will be very odd to have a new GM come in and nothing gets shook up year 1....Hurney would have found away to get under the cap and most likely kept his boys...then headed to the draft.

Did Hurney simply do what the Big Cat wanted? Then took the fall b/c they needed someone....and he was ready to get out?

Once the determination was made to keep the current coaching staff, the new GM wasn't going to be able to shake things up much if at all. He needs to follow the same rough plan and get/retain players that fit Rivera's scheme.

He'd do the exact same thing Gettleman is doing now and he'd get us under cap too.

The difference? Gettleman won't award the ridiculous contracts that Hurney was rewarding.

Sorry, but even the best of teams go over cap. Hurney WAS a cap genius he was just not a good at judging talent past the first round or negotiating contracts.

Also, years of boring Free Agency might now be at an end for us Panther fans.

But Hurney keeping his old roster intact post Fox greatly handicapped Rivera.....new GM should of tranformed the roster w/ the new coach.

To get and obtain what Rivera needs that needs to include more than the draft and your standard bargain budget bodies.

How do we know that? If JR sets the tone he wants HIS guys rewarded...

I guess that is what I am proposing. Right now, for a new GM....he has been very quiet and pretty much kept the train running as Hurney left it.

Really, all our problems are because Fox Hurney Gettleman refuses to cut the veterans and give younger players a chance...

not saying that...

Saying we have transitioned to a new coach and now new GM......and really the added players from the draft are the only significant changes to date (which could change). It would just be odd by NFL standards to see such little change.

We have younger players I think should of been shown the door w/ Fox (and Hurney should of been gone then as well)

Not exactly sure what the OP is asking? But I would imagine that Hurney would be working to get us under the cap, just as Gettlemen is doing. The main difference being, I see it that Hurney would probably stop once he hits the cap so he can keep his team together. Where I am hoping Gettlemen is going to work to get us to a point we can actually add some talent.

This team is going to have a few roster tweaks once the smoke clears. We haven't done much, yet we are almost home already. Once we get to the meat of the problem, we can make some moves to improve.

Hurney would work to keep his team together. Gettlemen, hopefully, is working to improve the team. Big difference. At least in my mind anywho.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
