Lee is good though 

Yeah, if he wasn't injured.

Hurney is fine for a few months. There is something to be said for experience. He can hop right in and get the ship ready for the next guy.

Who drafted Clausen?

From the sky is not falling perspective:  Hurney was an OK/good GM for talent evaluation.  I think as long as he is an interim stop gap and JR does not give him an open checkbook we will be ok.  I dont like this as a long term move but could see Hurney move to a President role. 

 

Just my opinion

I think he was terrible outside of the first round, aside from a couple of picks.

on one hand, it might only be temporary 

on the other hand, the one spending spree hurney did in 2011 took about 4-5 years to fix

Um - do you not realize whose pocket that money for the spending spree came from ?  This board blamed Hurney for those mistakes but it certainly looks now like it had nothing to do with him and everything to do with JR

I'm trying to remain positive myself. I hope Marty is back only temporarily and on a short leash. I could live with that.

Nope Richardson will say come on back good ole buddy, let's talk about the good ole days. Get comfortable because you're here to stay my great friend.

[Rags]

It always amazes me how underated Gamble was.

If he put the spot light on himself and talked as much as most corner backs do he'd be known as one of the best cornerbacks while he was playing.

Dude was a monster. QBs avoided his side of the field.

I mean for an interim signing it's not bad, but yeah anything past this season and I'll be on the JRich usurping bandwagon too.

Just so long as it is a few months and doesn't turn into a permanent thing. Then again, maybe Richardson just wants a yes man like some people are saying. I'm all for taking care of the good veteran players, but I just can't see extending a 34yr old LBer who still has a year left on his deal. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for he Panthers to be in a hurry to do this.

Then prepare to be on the front lines with me bro, it's happening. JR wants that yes man, absolutely sir YES SIR kind of guy, That's Hurney all the way.

Just sell the team ya dope

Who drafted Clausen?

On paper the Clausen pick make perfect sense.

We never had a 4 year span as good as the last four years. Clearly something was going on behind closed doors and Gettleman might have fuged poo up and was rightly fired. Fine I can live with that and trust Jerry....

You can not argue that Gettleman had more succes here in four years than Hurney had in ten. Who cares about who drafted who. We won 40 games over the last four year and went to the PO three times. Hurney was never closed to that kind of succes over a four year span and if I am not mistaken only got os to into the PO three times over TEN years....

Hunrey might have an eye for talent. But who cares if you can draft like a god if you lose games because you have pissed all the money away on stupid contracts. Gettleman might have won with a foundation build by Hurney... But that is more than Hurney could with a foundation build by Hurney...

This is a PR nightmare. We are a joke. Lets just hire Hardy and trade away a first round pick for Fox... Talk about having a bad day to have a bad day. I guess it is what it is.
