I dont see the Hurney magic

[panthers55]

Thats because we overpaid them all last year to stick around.To your other point we always look good on paper at the beginning of the year because we are always assuming TDavis and Otah will be healthy..I guess we will once again wait until the 2nd game ......and the ah dam Otah and Davis are injured.....we have such bad luck.We are only closer because we were the worse team in the league which entitled us to draft cam Newton.Should we give Hurney credit for that?

Lets see......... Should we give Hurney credit for drafting a first rounder that most of the pundits and "smart" guys said we shouldn't, who turns out to be a probowler as a rookie. Nah.. Lets bash him for the supposedly bad things he does but give him no credit for what he does right.......

Pretty hypocritical...............

Hypocritical is pretty stong.It was pretty obvious we needed a qb and yes I would say he had more questions surrounding his development and charater than Luck and RG3 .I will give him credit for pulling the trigger but not crowning him king.I am not bashing him but just stating the fact we are a .500 team with many missing pieces on defense and without the cap to signifantly upgrade these positions.Should we as fans be congradulating him?

it's a possibility.. yes.

you cannot fit everything under the cap. offense is largely complete.. you cannot complete both sides of the ball without one focused largely in the draft.. we have all the key pieces, it's now time for Rivera and the scouting department (with Hurney's help) to fill those holes via the draft...

If you want to blame anyone, blame JR for gutting this franchise in 2010 and going on the cheap. All Hurney is doing is trying to build it back up within the guidelines that Richardson has established which is build through the draft and don't bring in any high priced free agents. If you are going to spend big bucks on a guy make it someone we already know and who has been productive in the past. Should we be congratulating him? Seems to me you could do a lot worse.

Lets wait until we finish dumpster diving and see what kind of team we will field.I am not encouraged by Hurney or his stradegy.

The best strategy with FA (unless you already have a great team) is to sign one big FA. Just one, and not go fool like the Redskins. With this strategy, you have one less position to worry about in the draft, and you can truly build.

Im still pissed about the Clausen, Armanti, and Everette Brown picks. If Hurney hadnt of hit on Cam he would be fired by now. Even with Cam those failed picks are still holding us back, so Hurney still has to make up for those.

[Dpantherman]

if, shoulda, coulda, woulda... Did I miss anything?

[Matthias]

Maybe it's because we put so much emphasis on the draft, that we always trade away future picks just to get extra picks in the present draft. Then when the future draft comes, we scurry about trying to trade away more picks. Perhaps if we just sign one big name free agent as I said, we will feel more comfortable heading into the draft. Of course this year we had no money.

do we?

[jtnc]

Hurney magic=crack.

[Matthias]

do we?

I think most times. Hurney really had to sit on his hands in the 2011 draft.:D (just remember we didn't have a second round pick that year)
