...and they might just get their wish.

Hurney investigation could end soon

As has been discussed, Jerry Richardson seems to be willing to fight to his last breath to make Marty Hurney GM of the Panthers again.

It's an incredibly stupid decision to choose Hurney over someone like Lake Dawson, but then most of Jerry Richardson's decisions fall under the "incredibly stupid" category.

I'll be happy when we don't have to deal with his dumbass choices anymore.

It was selfish of JR to hold out until the end of the season to wait to sell the team. I'm afraid we'll pick a GM only to have a new owner come in next year and tear the team apart and start this all over again.

At this point, that might actually be the best possible outcome.

Jerry Richardson promotes people based on loyalty to him. Whether or not they are actually good at their jobs is irrelevant. Because of this, we have a structure right now that's badly in need of an overhaul.

Obviously, nothing like that is going to happen until Richardson is out of the way.

Seems like all has been quiet on the interview front after the Fritz Pollard Alliance said that we're all clear on the Rooney Rule front. Seems pretty obvious to me that if the NFL can get Marty cleared then he's the new GM. Pretty much like we all assumed from the get-go. Hurney will almost certainly oversee free agency and the draft this year, but I'd be surprised if new ownership doesn't give him the boot soon. This sucks, but it wasn't at all unexpected.

It’s not a stupid decision, Hurney has worked with Ron and Coaching staff and knows exactly what this team needs to win a SB.

All it says is he will remain a candidate.  Calm down.

There has been no news of interviewing more candidates. If they were choosing someone besides Hurney, they could have already done so. These things typically move pretty fast because teams need people in place and do not want other teams getting their guy. We are just twiddling our damn thumbs.

"The Charlotte Observer's Jourdan Rodrigue reports the investigation into harassment allegations against Panthers interim GM Marty Hurney "could wrap up soon."

Hurney was accused of harassment by his ex-wife, allegations his lawyer called "complete fiction." He was placed on paid leave by the team and put under investigation by the league. Rodrigue reports Hurney will be considered for the permanent GM job if he is cleared, but it seems likely that ship has sailed."

You genuinely believe that Jerry Richardson would allow somebody other than Marty Hurney to be picked for the job?

I would be pretty surprised that the ownership group would allow him to make that happen without their endorsement given the upcoming changes to the majority owner position.  Best thing to do, in my opinion, would be to let him continue in the interim role until the new Owner buys the team, and then let that new owner make decisions.  If JR hires Hurney, then it's just going to end up costing the team a lot of money to buy out his contract once the team is sold.

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
