I’m sure most would choose both, but curious to see who you think is holding us back more.

I think we should fire Hurney.  The morning of the 2nd round of the NFL draft. 

How many years has Hurney been the GM?  Best S under Hurney is what....Godfrey?

Rivera has had three winning seasons in his eight-year career. Every one of the three came with rosters that were built by Dave Gettleman.

Basically, you can win with Rivera as coach if you have a strong enough GM to compensate for his weaknesses. Hurney isn't that guy.

Since I don't really want a coach whose weaknesses I have to work around, the best answer truly is to get rid of both of them, but if you have to choose one, no question you fire Hurney

I personally believe that many are holding Hurneys first stint against him. 

Hes improved upon pretty much every thing he did wrong in his first stint with the team. Mainly these 2 things. 

Overpaying wrong players ( strong argument to be made that was more so a JR move than Hurney).

Trading future first round picks  and reaching for need in the 2nd round and beyond.

I firmly believe Hurney has learned from these mistakes and in 1 offseason he’s admitted as much and shown improvement. 

Rivera however has not learned from his mistakes and continually repeats them. 

If we didn’t have a talented roster then I don’t think we could have lucked our way into a 6-2 start or lost so many games by 1 score or less. 

While im not opposed to cleaning house, I do believe Rivera is holding us back more so than anyone else.

I would add this one thing that I don't really think is debatable anymore.

Under no circumstances whatsoever do you keep both of them. Rivera and Hurney are a losing combination.

So with it established that you have to let one of them go, the debate becomes which one. The most valuable question to ask in that debate is this: Which one has had greater success without the other?

And it's not even close.

Rivera's record with Gettleman is not only (substantially) better than his record with Hurney; it's also better than Hurney's record with John Fox.

You keep the one that can be more successful without the other one. It's not a tough decision.

Just to clarify. Do you think Hurney has learned nothing from his first tenure and time off? 

1 offseason is a small sample size I know. But he’s admitted to his past mistakes and has not repeated them yet.

Hurney. 

He's had a better 2018 than Rivera, but if you are going to remake an organization, you start at the top and work your way down.  Otherwise, you are eventually saddling a new GM with a coach he didn't pick, may not want, and may not see eye to eye with.  That just prolongs the transition process. 

My underlying assumption is that a some point in the next year or two, both will be gone, anyway.  It takes a good GM to survive an ownership change, and I don't think Hurney is on that level.

    • What this chart tells me with absolute certainty: In the first round, we like Georgia's #11 or #13 at 8.  However, TMac as the lone offensive player could suggest that he is the pick if on the board--if they liked him. the reason I think this?  There are edges predicted to go in all other rounds that were met with.  The others seem to be preparing for a trade back.  I think Morgan wants to do that.  We are definitely prioritizing edge over anything else in rounds 1 and 2. The overwhelming number of Edges/OLBs in rounds 1-3 might suggest that they are looking for two edges--or they are going to go after a WR and or S in round 1.  For example, if Walker is gone, they might want to take TMac.  With only 1 WR and 1 S mentioned in round 1, it makes you wonder if they are not being targeted.  At WR, Noel is listed in round 2 and Sanker is the only other S listed, in round 4.  Jon Snow's prediction that Emmanwori could be the pick in round 1 is supported by this theory. In a draft so overloaded at DT, the Panthers brought in Nolen (probably wondering if he drops to the second and if the rumors about his character are valid), TJ Sanders from the USC in the second, and Deione Walker, a NT from KY (I heard they liked him at SR Bowl) in the third.  In other words, not a lot of DT attention in the first 3 rounds. However, of the 11 players listed as prospects in rounds 2 and 3, five (5) are edge players.  We are taking an edge in rounds 1 or 2.  I think, since only 1 WR and no safeties are listed after round 1, they will be flexible in round 1.  They cannot be flexible with S based on this list, unless Sanker in round 4 is more than a fallback. Here is the dilemma--if they take an edge in round 1--based on this list only--does that force them to take Noel in round 2 and Sanker in round 4?  Big dropoffs if you consider that Princely and Swinson and Kinnard will be there in rounds 2 and 3? The lack of focus on WR is alarming. Of course, teams could use visits to analyze character because red flags are flying.  Nolen, TMac, have questions. DL seems to pick up steam at pick 140.  In fact, South Carolina has 4 DL on this list (most are local visits).    What do I get from this? Taking a S in round 1 makes sense and the rest of the draft seems to fall together.  Trade back is ideal. In round 1, we seem to be focused on Jalon Walker (LB) and Emmanwori (S).  TMac is a real possibility, allowing them to focus on D from here out. Round 2 will be an edge-maybe even if we take Walker.   However, if we do take Walker, Round 2 could be Noel (WR). Round 3  I think, based on this, the Panthers will take Knight (LB USC).  I think Morgan will love him.  Walker (NT, KY) is also on the table. Round 4  If they missed Emmanwori in the first round, Sanker is taken here.  I would also expect them to draft Trapoli (OT) a RT with excellent pass blocking skills.  Round 5  The Panthers seem to like the depth of this draft at DL enough to focus on DT depth with picks 140 and 146.  DTs Cam Jackson and Pegues are listed.  Both would be steals here.
