It's time to realize this franchise is a joke until Richardson dies.    This goes all the way up to the idiot who brings in Hurney and keeps Rivera/Shula.

I've been saying this exact thing for a long time. JR is too old and lost any reasoning skills he ever had. 

[RumHam]

I guess bojangles stocks are down. JR doesnt want to pay playoff salaries

Did KB violate team policy repeatedly?

[OneBadCat]

They must really think Funchess is the next great WR. Was he getting limited snaps?

Maybe he didn't wear a tie.

Trades could have been made just not announced yet. 

Considering this deal came together with 3 minutes left.... pretty sure we can safely say Hurney didn't put together a different deal with 3 minutes to go....

I don't see how this makes any sense whatsoever 

[Chief Keek]

Lmao you can't make this up, Hurney hasn't even been back six months and he's already back in form.

He probably should have whined about an extension, that seems to be how you get what you want on this team.

Welcome back to Hurneyville. That joker isn't going anywhere. JR sold the fans a bill of goods with the temporary GM bullsh%t. I really don't care anymore. Life is to stressful as it is to worry about this crap.

I did not read the entire thread, so excuse me  if I repeat a thought, but I  am sure that you  all  will torch me for the last part of my epiphany.

They were going to lose him  at the end of the season--not worth the second contract.  KB would demand a $55m contract.  Not getting that here.

Now the part that will get me some turds:

1. He reported to camp a bit overweight.  Some of you  pointed out that he  got  in shape by the beginning of the season.  The offseason is to get better--not to get fat.  KB should have been tweaking his game, not dieting and running sprints

2.  Cam is better without  KB.  Yes--I said it.  in 2015, Cam spread the ball around nicely.  I forget our record that year (sarcasm), but  the team underperformed the year before and the year after.  Hmmm.  

3. Our  offense is a dud.  KB is not getting open.  He is  running  bad routes  and is not hard to cover with 1 player.

Watch--our offense  will open up with him  gone.  Trust me--addition by subtraction.  NOT because  KB sucks,  but because  he  does not make  others  better.  Our  offense is slow and lumbering.  KB had 8 games left and would be gone anyway.  Funchess has been better, so...

A third rounder is not a bad trade---we got Olsen for a third rounder. 

Folks--our  offensive woes were not all OL--that is what you see on TV...Our  big  WRs are not getting open.  I am not distraught about this--sorry.

I actually agree with you.  I just wish we had a GM that knew what to do with that third.

Time to bring back Bersin.

Ooh god....that is going to happen, isn't it.  I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Pretty absurd speculation here.  The logical explanation is that JR is a clown, and our Front Office is an absolute joke... they don't know what they're doing

Absurd? How is it absurd? The only Absurd this is trading away your only legit receiving threat for hardly anything mid way through a winning season. 

Explain how this trade benefits the Panthers logically? It doesn't. Now if you think the front office being run by "clowns" is explanation enough, then by all means believe it, but logically this doesn't make sense for anyone upstairs that's fighting for their job.
