Boohoo Hurney is still here. Misery loves company and there’s plenty of threads to whine about that fact.  

The good news is, Rivera’s run is finally over. He was good for a time but his stubbornness and unwillingness to learn from his mistakes meant it was time for his departure.

Tepper has mentioned he intends to add an assistant GM, a VP of football operations and will hopefully find good people to pair with Hurney. We also get a new head coach finally, picking 7th overall, have all of our picks, outside of Bradberry no major free agents at risk of leaving and the only major dead money on the cap is the 9.3 from Matt Kalil that will finally expire after this year.

We have key pieces to build around still on both sides of the ball. Plenty to look forward to. I can’t wait til the convo on here shifts to these positives we have moving forward. Hopefully this thread will kick that off.

You mean 2021? With Hurney still around 2020 is already a 3-13 season or dare I say 2-14?

If Hurney shits the bed this year, he’s gone. Tepper is giving him a chance to prove Rivera was the problem. 
 

So either things look up next year or the Hurney era officially ends. Either way it’s bette than the rock bottom we’re at now.

This makes me cringe.........to death. Hurney has had 13 years to prove his worth. Not a single back to back winning record stretch. Smh.

I don’t disagree with you. I’ve stated multiple times there’s a strong argument for him to have been fired. He wasn’t. There is also an argument to see why Tepper kept him. Should he have based on both arguments? Probably not. But he didn’t. That fact is written in stone. So the constant bitching what can’t be changed is fruitless. It’s the offseason and many other topics to discuss, but you and army like you only want to harp on this same topic.

It's already been proven Rivera alone wasn't the problem. We tanked hard after we fired him. Ron has four losing seasons with Hurney as his GM. He had winning records in three of five seasons with Gettleman.

Again, I wouldn’t have thrown a tantrum if he fired Hurney. I too would have been excited by blowing the whole operation up and starting fresh. It didn’t happen. I see why Tepper kept him and you probably do too. Doesn’t make it the right decision. However the decision has been made.

No, I definitely don't see why Tepper kept Hurney. There is more than enough evidence to conclude Hurney is a subpar NFL GM and simply calling him subpar is probably being too generous.

      Steve Palazzolo and Sam Monson on Panthers free agency

      I think free agency should be to fill holes, but the draft is where you find your stars/elite players.  Here is why, and it is mathy.  I majored in English/Journalism. I draft Williams and get him for 4 years at $2m per.  I then sign him to a $26m  4 year contract.  Williams was my DT at an average of $14m per year for 8 years. I sign Williams as a free agent for $26m, I get him for 4 years and during those four years, paid him an average of $12m more than average over 8 years...Hold on, there is more. If I draft Williams at $2m per year for 4 years and then let him enter free agency, you could argue that I got a bargain, but if you look at the arc of a typical career, you allowed a developing player to occupy a roster spot and you paid $8m for him to go to another team during his prime.  You become a farm team for the other 31 teams. So it is best to draft and keep your players--and not overpay for free agents or let your developmental talent walk.   I am dizzy now.

      Currently 31 players on contract in 2026 with $89,178,390 in cap space per OTC. However, 5 of those players are just void deals and 2 of the players the financial terms of their contracts have not been disclosed yet. So, we really aren't in great cap shape for 2026 at the moment. Lots more moves still on the table to see how it shakes out.
