Fwiw, I don't blame all or even most of our problems over the last few years on Hurney, but the last time we had a winning season when Marty H was the GM on Jan 1st was 2008.  Its amazing Tepper kept him as long as he did.   

Technically he was the GM for the 2017 season, but we all know that was DG's team. Marty arrived well after the draft/free agency.

Question for looooooooong time Panther fans:

Has any Hurney move been any worse then George Siefert's Sean Gilbert deal?

Yeah, Hurney was bad and I've wanted him gone for years, but despite his utter incompetency, Seifert's deal to get Gilbert may have been the worst this franchise has ever survived.

(Prior to the 1999 season, Gilbert was signed to a 7-year, $46.5M and 2 first round picks. The salary cap in 1999 was $57.3M)

Truthfully, no. That Gilbert thing was one of the worst deals in NFL history. 

HOWEVER, there were so many compounding bad moves on Hurney's part (Pretty much everything after 2008) that you could make the case that his boners were far more detrimental to the long term success of the franchise. Instead of being able to get immediate relief by unloading one guy, we were stuck having to manuver and unload multiple guys over multiple years to try and get in a better spot. 

Plus his drafting was abysmal outside round 1. Every pick was either feast or famine, absolutely nothing in between. Dude was either an all-pro or didn't belong in the NFL. That lack of even mediocre talent to fill out the roster lead to our demise in both of his tenures as GM simply due to the lack of depth throughout the roster.

Gilbert is probably the worst 1 move, however the combo platter of Jake, Stew, and DWill was a tough one to swallow as well.

[Mr. Scot]

I'd forgotten about Delhomme's extension.

I do remember that one year we signed a virtual Mount Rushmore of defensive linemen who all proved to be pretty well past their prime.

A falcons fan had this comment to say on their forum.

 

"NFL rumors say Hurney will most likely have a reunion with Ron Rivera in Washington."

Oh yeah, Asante Samuel Jr. was the ONLY consistent member of FSU's defense

That is why I said Jan 1st.  Gettleman was still GM on Jan 1st.  Hurney took over in July.

Gilbert was a Dom Capers disaster and was by far the worst decision in team history. 
Seefart got fired after he cut Beuerlein to have Jeff Lewis be the Q1. Lewis was cut in preseason and the Panthers were forced to start rookie Chris tinky Weinke and go 1-15. Oh to be a Panthers fan!
