Hurney is one of the best college talent evaluators around and I don’t want to lose that

Words that came out of the mouth of David Tepper. 

I can’t imagine those words have ever been spoken by another NFL owner no matter how freaking stupid they are.

[ncfan]

So I see Tepper wants a full on tank job I see for the next few seasons

[Black&BlueBubba]

He forgot the words “1st round talent evaluator”

[Krovvy]

Do a write up, prove him otherwise. It's pretty easy evaluating past draft picks compared to the rest of the league. Shouldn't take you too long.

[bigskypanthersguy]

My heart sank at that.

[WarPanthers89]

Yeah that does not mean He won’t hire a Brandon Bene to run everything else...

[MVPccaffrey]

If this were the NBA where you could build a contender from just 1st round draft picks this would be fine, otherwise we're just lighting half a dozen picks on fire each year, damn.  Might as well just move them annually in trades either for vets or to move up and/or into the 1st round.

[Castavar]

Ok, then demote him to scout team and hire a competent GM who can build a complete team that can win. It takes more than being a good college talent evaluator to be a good GM.

Hurney can be the draft guy and VP can oversee signings and contracts.

[philit99]

There is truth in that statement. Rounds 3-5 not so much.

This is almost certainly what we’re driving towards.  I could see him getting transitioned to scouting department.  

“He is not a bad manager” makes me think he’s not gonna stick with him as full time GM

Hurney has done really well the past two years even beyond round 1. Also: Cam, Luke, DJ, and Burns. Pretty sure that’s 2 potential hall of famers, a guy who is top 5 in the league at his position in his second year, and another guy who was looking like DROTY prior to injuring his wrist. Not a bad core to build from.

[frash.exe]

how many offseasons is this organization willing to throw away as dress rehearsals for marty hurney to prove he’s a legitimate GM

[KillerKat]

He's so good that he had everyone in the league knocking down his door as soon as he was let go the first time. Wait.....
