Hurney 2.0 - The Best and The Worst moves

[GoPanthers123]

Allen was a great udfa pick up.  Burns and Moore are top 5 talent, can’t miss first round.

Hurney looking for a permanent GM was like when police departments investigate themselves if there is alleged misconduct. You knows it’s a dog and pony show.

Hurney's worst move after coming back was doing a GM search and hiring himself

I think you'd have to take into account that his last three starts were with the Jets. How frequently have you seen anybody be successful with them?

I'd also point out that I wouldn't have taken Teddy Bridgewater based on what I saw of hid play last year either, but look how that worked out?

As to the others, I'm not a fan of Joe Flacco and never have been, but he wouldn't have been a backup option anyway. Keenan Allen is a receiver. I'm not sure who you meant to refer to.

And yes, once Newton went down, our playoff chances took a huge hit.

But if we had been smarter about managing our roster, maybe that hit wouldn't have been quite so bad.

Fwiw, right now we might lose to the Jets.  

[WOW!!]

Not even going to get into this .. I see the same players spitting the same rhetoric over and over again.. lol

At the time I thought Williams and Paradis where great value signings, both have been awful. Not ready to give up on Paradis, but it would not surprised if he was cut.

No gonna mention Olsen's extension?

He was still under contract and got a big pay bump then been hurt since.

I will stand by my usual criticism of the Panthers. Too many times the team looks like crap losing. No matter how good the roster is, they never play up to their potential. Hurney 2.0 implemented some great players on the team, at least on paper. However, how well the players gel together could be one reason for the team coming up short performance wise.

The other issue relates to coaching. Kuechly use to be a heat seeking missile, this year he has looked lost at times, discouraged and outsmarted. If he (Luke) who is considered one of the best LB's of all time whilst still in his prime can be made to look like this. How many other great players on the roster are being made to look way below their potential due to schemes and coaching. Maybe being paired with TD complimented Luke and allowed him to play to his full potential.

These are the questions that need to be asked with this team. Not better drafting, but what's causing the drop in performance versus player's potential.

On paper Shaq, Luke, Irvin, KK (IR), Poe, Burns, Addison, Mccoy, Butler (only this year) looked like an absolutely monstrous front 7. I don't believe for one second that this line up should ever be in the consideration for being one of the worst run D's in the history of the sport. But it is.

Hell, I have no doubt in my mind that Mccoy actually thought this team was a contender when he decided to sign here. Greg Olsen thought this roster was one of the best in the league only to call the performance of the team comedy football half way through the season.

I was not a fan of Gman, and I'm on the fence with Hurney 2.0. However, I've seen more from rosters with less. Until the team starts to play to the level of it's talent, Hurney right now isn't the biggest problem. There are talent killers in this staff that need to be weeded out which is why I was so adamant in pushing to see Ron sent packing. There's more talent killers still in this team, maybe ones that are worse than Ron, but it's hard to tell from the outside looking in.

Although the Oline is one big issue that can no longer be ignored, and however is drafting and signing free agents needs to get it right else there's no point in putting a quality QB behind our line anymore.

Please say that! The team needs to weed out these damn Talent Killers!

Rivera was a big one. He's had young probowl level talent on the bench, while starting garbage vets that shouldn't even have been in the league.

And Hurney isn't perfect. No GM is. But this roster has enough talent to win 9-10 games even without Cam. Playcalling and in-game adjustments are not easy, and have been this teams achilles heel for some time. It takes a special type of person to actually be able to see what their opponent is doing , get a feel for when they want to do it, and then counter attack. Rivera is a super human being, but he wasn't able to do it. Not sure Norv was consistently creative enough to do it either. Personally excited to see what this team can do without the handcuffs. I just hope Fewell doesn't get all Rivera conservative while "interviewing for the job while on the job". Just let go. Shake it up and shake out the rest of these damn Talent Killers.

Bruce Irvin has been solid

Lol. Take Hurney’s balls out of your mouth and at least be objective. 2015 was our best OL and it was because Norwell, Kalil and Turner were studs.

Also, if you watched the SB, our issue was not giving the tackles any help at all.

2008 OL was our best by far.
