Ish happens. Ozzie Newsome drafted Boller.  Ted Thompson drafted Brian Brohm

So we are excited for this!?

I really thought I'd be excited the day that Ron Rivera was no longer head coach of the Carolina Panthers.  But after watching that clip, hearing what he has to say about Hurney, just the whole thing I don't know what to think.  Marty is safe and Tepper I think is a meddler.  I'll continue to watch, but, I really don't get good vibes from any of this and am not too optimistic going forward

This is pretty much how I feel right now.

You shouldn't.

My read on this is that Hurney is going to be in charge of college scouting but someone else will have full roster control.

I'm fine with that outcome.

[TheSpecialJuan]

I wonder what Ron Rivera is doing right now

Again, hope you're right.  We will learn a lot more once the season is over.  I really am not prepared for a Hurney lead rebuild.

That still doesn't ease my mind.

It wont come true the more you say it.  That is not what Tepper said at all

Meddler he appears to be.  Hope we are wrong, but I don’t see it that we are.

Tepper basically: “Hurney can evaluate his raspy ass off, but as a manager....ehhhh he’s not bad.”

 

Hurney as scout confirmed. 

[Snake]

He was just fluffing Hurney. People get way to over worked about stuff like this. 

[bigdog10]

“Hurney is one of the best evaluators of talent”

oh man. This franchise is going in the tank faster than I thought. We are going to do something incredibly desperate in April, liking trading away a future first or two to move up and draft Justin Herbert. 
 

There are storm clouds on the horizon boys.

I’m sorry, but looking at his body language says he’s not an owner. 

Thats just pathetic at best. 

How did you feel about Paul Allen's body language? (RIP Paul)

I thought Tepper was thoughtful and logical, good interview.
