Hurney Legacy Good or Bad


stirs

Recommended Posts

All the while, we thought he was great with the cap, but he wasn't. In essence, he opened one credit account to pay another with the way he played restructures. DG is trying to buy the team financial independence so he can have true control over the roster(I.e.,cutting an ineffective JStew and his bloated contract). I'm sure Smith was hard for him and as an observant fan.....I promise there will be more of these type cuts! He has to pay players what they are worth, not what it takes to keep them in CLT

his legacy is very average. yes he shelled out some dumb deals, but he also netted us some GREAT franchise pieces: including a player that no one wanted who was Defensive Player of the league in only in second year. 

 

When he was good he was great, when he was bad- well were still feeling those effects. 

 

Only thing he gets crap for that I refuse to blame him for is Beason. That was completely out of his control, and in fact he made the right call by essentially admitting his mistake and drafting Kuechly.

Gross, Gamble, Davis, Beason, Williams, Cam, Kuechly, Hardy, and CJ among others make it hard to say he was a bad GM. But he fugged us with his stupid extensions.

 

As I said....he was money in the first round.  Really weak in the 2nd-3rd round. 

 

And he SUCKED at contracts and the cap.

    • You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful. 
    • Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.
    • On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
