So you don't have time to do anything but cherry picking but you want me to compile the track record of 32 teams GM's across almost 60 years of NFL history? Seems reasonable. How about I just let you continue to live the delusion that Marty Hurney was a good GM?

I did say similar about the starters on this team this week, if you recall. It's a rough look at that roster.

I couldn't be much worse, that's for sure.

I find it odd you aren't including his entire draft history.

His hit rate was not as stellar as that. It's just that his hits were some of the best in franchise history. He is just a less floaty turd in comparison to the other turds we have had as a GM.

I don't think anyone expected it to be THIS bad.

He isn't an NFL WR. That's the biggest issue.

Competitive will still TBD for this season. I had predicted all offseason we were a 4-7 win team and I am really all about the "how does it look." Right now, terrible. Also wanted answers on Bryce, Ikey, XL, young guys, offseason additions, etc. Right now, Bryce has been answered. He isn't the guy. I am fine with that, better to know now and pivot quickly in the offseason. The rest of the questions.....well....not great so far. Lots of games left. Hopefully we get to see some sense of direction.

Had ample chances to fix that and have only made one real attempt, Bozeman, who was ultimately below average.

The thing we need to be concerned about is that it was a close battle that Mays lost. It's time to draft a fuging center.

No he wouldn't. He struggles to do the most simple poo any NFL WR should know. In Game 1, TMac was far more impressive than the entirety of XL's NFL career. It's because XL doesn't do anything well at all. Well, not on the football field, for sure.

No, XL's flaws all come from him not being an NFL caliber player, like many Panthers WR draft picks before him. Like I said, I don't really put much stock into those preseason reps at all. Never have.

I believe it is "hands off" publicly but I believe it is far less so behind closed doors. He does not strike me as a man who has the ability to not micromanage. His background certainly doesn't suggest it.

Well he is a newer HC and this isn't "his guy" either. In theory, he should have a quicker trigger finger on that. I suspect it might not be completely his decision or at least a complicated one.

This is why I grind my teeth at him basically being the "face" of this franchise. How about.....BE GOOD AT FOOTBALL AND NOT SOCIAL MEDIA?!!!

I put that very, very, VERY far down the list of issues, TBH. If we had played 100% of the snaps in the preseason with our starters, I don't think you would see a substantially better result today. If that were the case, by Game 4 this season we should be hitting our stride in theory. Watch that not happen. It's because this is a bad roster with bad coaches.

You mean the guy that had a 2 tackle game today?? LMAO

He literally does nothing well. Like....nothing. How long do we need this project to last? Until he is 28? I hate to be that way about a guy with a season and a game but JFC, he can't do the simplest poo.

I am not shocked but it shouldn't have led to basically zero improvement.

Technically this is year 6 of the Rhule "Jay-Z" plan. Next year is our year!

It isn't coddling. This is a strategy used by multiple teams in the NFL, some of which don't start any starters. Has nothing to do with that at all. It has to do with the fact that we rarely ever have our players ready for games. Literally rarely ever. That is standard shitty coaching.

Good: TMac, Horn, D. Brown, Chuba Bad: Corbett, The Entire non-Brown/Horn D, Dave Canales, Evero, the OL Time to move on: Bryce, XL

It's over. Look for a trade partner, start Dalton or dig into the free agents to ride it out until the end of the season.

It's very obvious. This has run it's course. I would gather trade interest and pivot.

You aren't wrong. Might win a couple of games even.
