You want Fox and Jake gone... what about Hurney?

[charlottenian]

What is the consensus on Marty Hurney? I personally have no issues with the guy, he usually nails the first round pick, does a good job with our cap and signing talent. Even if Fox is gone, I would prefer Hurney as our GM

[jramsey4]

I have huge issues with him. A huge 17 million dollar issue with him. As well as one for 20 million dollars (Jakes Deal). I don't care that it was to save cap we resigned a guy coming off of his worst game as a pro, just stupid. I want the whole house cleaned (except maybe Gregory and that College Scouting staff). The main reason we got this guy was to keep us in cap safety. He tags a guy with obvious motivation issues as well as a very inconsistent player to the largest single year contract in the NFL. In my eyes the single dumbest move in his tenure.

I think he has and can draft good talent. His only major mistake that I know of is that he was trying to force a superbowl season this season and it is currently biting us in the ass (read tagging Peppers etc.).

IMO of course.

I wouldn't exactly call his drafts recently a great success. He hits on the 1st rounders and occasionally a late round guy. Look this year we have one rookie contributing significantly a 7th round pick and thats only as nickel corner. From last year the only pick with any good extensive playing time this year is Jeff Otah (and he has not looked all that great). Of course J stew isn't getting many carries and Otah is being ask to be a finesse T in the pass game which he is not. All in all this guy is not that good at anything really .

Peppers, botched.

Trading firsts for seconds, GMing like you're trying to save your job.

Ultimately he will be judged by his past decisions and draft choices, what ifs and what could have been tell the tale.

First rounders are the safer picks to do well on.

To me the GM makes his money in Rds 2-5. Stockpiling talent and finding diamonds in the rough.

Fair enough, I'll have to look into the bust to success ratio of other teams mid round picks. My gut says that Hurney's ratio is going to be similar to all teams not named the Steelers.

IMO fox and hurney are a package deal. if one goes the others gotta go too

I think they are joined at the hip!

As for checking other teams middle round draft picks don't bother, there are too many of them playing for other teams compared to very few on the Panthers roster.

Hurney is Fox foreskin....

[fitty76]

Hurney's drafting has hurt this team more than Jake and Fox.

A decent job maybe good enough for you.

BTW any late rounders among those players. Those guys were all 1st and 2nd rounders.

And let's not forget cap management too, while we're talking about Hurney.
