Hurney purge continues....killing the ghost

You act like starting offensive linemen are just waiting around and the only thing stopping them from playing is how much money they'll make. 

 

Not many options now that we sat around hoping for the best and it predictably backfired. Same old Panthers.

Yet we have like what, $18 million in cap space, and a make shift struggling o line that just lost another starter?

 

That $18 miillion might have a purpose when he carries it over to next years cap.  Sign a couple cheap one year contracts your first year here as GM.  Watch how the team does to see who needs to go.  Spend the carryover cap the next year on quality FA your new HC wants.

Idk know if you understand that I was defending Gettelman or if I'm reading into your post wrong.

 

looks to me like he's agreeing with you...as am I.  DG has done a poo ton of clean up in a very short amount of time.

 

I think he kept Ron around to see what he could do first hand.  Now that he knows, he will act accordingly.  Gettleman is the bomb, and is turning this pooshop around.

Sat around? First off what money would you have used and secondly who would you have signed? Here I'll answer it for you, there wasn't any money and no one.

Oh spare me that no money nonsense. That kind of drivel is why we keep hiring waste of space coaches that have been passed over and ran out of town everywhere else they've been or hiring guys off the street with zero coaching experience. Our owner is on a budget.

Slowly but surely,DG is clearing the barn of Hurneys contracts,failed experiments,and broken players.Maybe he isnt JR's puppet as was suspected.Expect this to continue untill the house is cleaned...good luck Armanti.

 

I like it. Change the culture. Not producing? See ya!

You're more clueless than I originally thought.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
