From TD's Instagram yesterday. These moves are all about family and loyalty. Jesus Christ the Panthers could star in star and furious 9 at this point.

We will be better off without you.  Any fan who allows a front office decision to cause them to revoke their fandom was never a true fan to begin with.  If Browns fans can still fill a stadium week after week after decades of pure torture, you'd think your whiny ass could deal with a front office change.  

But like I said, if that is how you think, then we are better off without you.  Good riddance.  

Obviously you haven't been around long enough to know how this plays out.   This will only get worse as time goes on and I'm going to sit back and watch as all you true fans wonder how this team went from contender to pretender so quickly.  I'm not going anywhere so deal with it.

We go from Ernie accorsi recommendations to Marty Hurney recommendations. I can't say I'll stop watching this team because I love these players and football Sundays are so much fun but damn I wish I could just unplug until we get a new owner. Because JR is a fuging idiot.

This reads as if "after we interview a few GM candidates to adhere to Rooney Rule, Hurney can have the job if he wants it"

Please tell me I'm reading this wrong.

Krispy Kreme dozen, don't freak out.

The question of whether it's really temporarily will scare me right up until someone else takes the job...if that happens.

I asked this in another thread as a generalization, but I'm gonna ask you because I respect your knowledge base and the wide breadth of your research when looking into a topic. 

Has an NFL team (or any other of the four major sports for that matter) brought back a guy to be GM after firing him as GM, let alone bringing him back following the firing of the guy that initially replaced him anyway?

I'm packing my truck to go camping and won't have cell service til Saturday night, so I look forward to see what you come up with. Make it a new thread and @ me so I can find it if it's buried by the time I get back. 

I want to know exactly what kind of uncharted dysfunctional waters we are sailing into. 

Thanks Scot!

LOL I have been a fan since day 1.  I was never a fan of Hurney.  He did compile some great rosters, but also had some terrible drafts and bad rosters.  He wasn't perfect.  Neither was Gettleman.  Who knows how all this will play out, but the bottom line is we have no control of it so it does no good to bitch.  

Had John Kasay not kicked that kickoff out of bounds, we might be hailing Hurney as the only GM to bring us a superbowl ring.  People tend to only remember his last few years here, when Fox was a lame duck coach and a lockout had just ended. 

Go ahead and sit back and hope for this team's failure just so you can say you were right.  My guess is that is the type of fan you are.  In the meantime, I am looking forward to training camp and the upcoming season and will be pulling hard for my Panthers regardless of who is sitting in the front office, the head coaches chair, etc.  I love this team and always have.

All due respect we still have all of those things.

Agreed.  My point, was that I was pretty excited about this season and the immediate future, now.....not so much.

I don't agree with the "all in" approach to winning a Super Bowl, we have seen many teams try to do that and watched them fail, and hurt their team long term because of it.  Think recent Saints teams, and last seasons Giants team.

I believe in a long term approach, and DG seemed to share that mentality.  Keep the cap under control, draft well, pay your franchise cornerstones, and build from the inside out.

Now we are a rudderless ship heading into the prime of Cam Newton's career.  A meddlesome 81 year old owner, a retread interim GM, no team President and no assistant GM.  

 

Yea that's plenty enough reasons to not be as excited as I was 10 days ago.
