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.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
