worst move hurney has ever made?


John Fox

Recommended Posts

Prob his lack of the ability to find a starting WR. Delhomme comes in a close second. I think Brown will be very good given time.

P.S Zod Fox dose not like to draft QBs...... I blame that on Fox not Hurney.

How could you possible know that? He has never been a GM without Fox.

Yeah, but if he can show he's still got that accuracy then I'd still want him.

Fact or Myth: Chad Pennington is an accurate QB.

MYTH! The guy only has high completion percentages because every pass is a 2 yard dump-off to a running back. Anything longer than 10-15 yards and he either underthrows it, or throws it too late (OR the ball just takes too long to get there) which almost always ends up with the receiver being destroyed or the pass being broken up by a defender. He makes the entire offense one-dimensional and predictable. He's one of the most overrated quarterbacks in the league.

I guess he's still better than Jake, though. :(

Hurney has been with the team since 98. He even Hired John Fox. Besides he didnt just jump into the fish pool then he has had his hands in many drafts. Going all the way back to his days in SD.

Here is his Bio. http://www.panthers.com/team/staff/marty-hurney/158dba70-3404-4c01-b1cc-d948ae55c100

Read the first sentence. "When Marty Hurney assumed general manager duties in Carolina, the Panthers were coming off a 1-15 season." The 1-15 season was 01. He didn't become a GM until 02. I thought he was a media type before he came here.

That must be all you read cause......

. In 1990, Hurney moved with Beathard to San Diego, serving as the general manager's assistant with responsibilities that included organizing the scouting department and player contracts and overseeing the day-to-day football administration.

Dont worry no thank you needed.

Did he make the final decisions on draft day? He was only a assistant GM this is his first shot at the full GM and he hasn't even touched a QB before round 4 and if Lefors is the best you can do maybe its a good thing he didn't draft a 1st round QB. This along with our WR issues is why Hurney should not be GM. I would love to have him as Assistant GM handling the cap (assuming there is one) but I would rather have Marc Ross at GM as he can find talent in any round.

They were talking about this on the radio..trading S.smith or J.stewart.I would hate to do something like this.but i new coach might do something like this just to grab a QB in the first round.I rather not.

Yea fvck trading anyone on offense. Me personally if I trade anyone I trade Peppers, and I don't even want to do that. I'd rather trade future picks.

Definately trading next years first round pick to draft Brown. I could possibly see that if you knew Peppers would be gone this season, but if the plan was to keep him all along why the trade?? just so you have somebody for next season if you let Pep walk :confused: All this, when you have an old QB who threw all those picks, and is on the downside of his career - so that trade also showed me that he had no intention of drafting a QB early.

So that is my second choice for worst move Hurney has made and that is the inability to have a QB of the future on the roster.

This talk just pisses me off because it would be part of the fallout from trading last years first for Brown. Had Hurney not done that then nobody would even have to entertain the thought of trading Smith or Stewart. I am not for trading either of them to get back to round 1 for a QB. My thought is they take a QB in round 2 or 3, sign a free agent QB, and then possibly pick a QB in round 1 the following year. Another solution would be to complete the thought process of trading for Brown by unloading Peppers to get back into the first round.(assuming they could get a 1st round pick for Peppers)

    • I think it is evident if you read opinions that there are two groups of Huddlers:  Those who refer to themselves as realists when they are actually pessimists and if positivity is presented to them, they do all they can to discount it.  There are also the dreamers, those who are finding victories and bright spots in what has been a seven year stroll through Tepper's sewer.  If you can't see the positives now, you either don't want to be wrong or your life has been so chock full of humiliation and failure, you see no other possible outcome.  Canales has this team upbeat and optimistic when they are 4-12.  He got a terrible QB playing better, and the team has become competitive.   Those are facts, but if you say it, you get bombarded by the pessimists who feel the need to call you a dreamer who does not understand the game of football. No Cam, you are not the only optimist on here and there is plenty of reasons to know that if you read the posts of others carefully.  I am excited about the offseason. You can't let the pessimists drag you down; it is how they feel equal, as opposed to sharing a positive vision.  I am critical at times, but i am also hopeful. Quite simply, we don't know why someone who is constantly berating the Panthers would spend so much time on boards attacking others who do not share his darkest dispositions.  Perhaps it was the restraining order their mothers filed against them when they were breast feeding.  Maybe it was the humility of constantly being rejected by hookers--we will never know.  I see people with no counter points attacking those with them--calling others "dumb" because if you have no points or a valid argument, you attack those that do.  It is common today.  The Happy Police monitor this board to make sure no sunshine peeps through the clouds.  They thrive in negativity and gloom, something that started long before they were huddlers.  
    • A good GM can overcome this and with us somehow getting the Ram's 2nd for this year (still not sure how DM pulled that off) the handicap from the Bryce trade is basically gone now and we have a full deck to work with again. DMs first draft looked really good early then fizzled a bit as the season went on mostly due to XL regressing and Brooks getting reinjured. Can't argue he had an excellent FA tho. I'm excited to see what he does this draft and FA. 
    • I had us at 4 wins minimum, 6 wins ceiling. It was a building year to try and right the ship and see improvement as the season went on, and I'll be damned if that isn't exactly what happened and I'm going to nail my prediction.
