I agree. Marty should have a lifetime contract and get a statue out front with an erect penis that airplanes have to fly around.

lulz.

If retaining players is a priority, why trade Chicago a third-round pick for tight end Greg Olsen?

Richardson: "Marty said, 'I'm reluctant to bring this (acquiring Olsen) up because we talked about keeping our own players.'

I said, 'Marty we'd be crazy not to do this. We (can) take a 26-year-old tight end we coveted coming out of the draft.' "

Hurney has produced three winning seasons in ten years. That's miserable work.

If Hurney brings in so much talent and such, then why have the Panthers sucked so bad in his tenure?

Nowhere does it say that Hurney was "against the trade" - it said he was reluctant to bring it up to JR since they were giving out all these contracts to their own. Obviously he did bring it up, and JR gave his blessing.
