I'm really sick of people complaining about D Will's contract

He's one of the top RB's in the league and deserved what he got

I can't imagine the posts if we would've let him walk .. IMO we're lucky he's part of our organization

not just his stats .. but he's genuinely a good guy

be grateful

Bummmmmppppp. Foreal!!!!!

Hurney is mediocre at best. Does mediocre get you to a SB? No. He has reached too hard in the draft many times. There's only one way to judge a GM and that's with results.

John Fox got Denver into the playoffs. So our problems over the last several years can't be blamed on Fox. So you have to blame Hurney.

He's drafted some terrible players. And we signed the core of a team that went 2-14.

It's all about results. If I did my job like Hurney does his, I'd be fired. If you want proof that JR has lost his marbles, look at the continued employment of MH.

Your job is nothing like an NFL job. Stop with that stupid comparison.. It is apples to oranges.

fox took this team to 2 NFC title games and a super bowl with several players drafted and brought in by hurney.

does marty get credit for that too or is he only responsible for the bad stuff? i'm having trouble keeping score here.

All of the above...it's a 'what have you done for me lately' league. Look at the horrible decisions in the last three years. Look at the team's record. Stop being delusional about Marty Hurney. He's mediocre at best. Look at the on field results.

Yeah, there are valid criticisms of hurney if you want him gone, but saying stuff like "well Fox went 8-8 in the worst division in football and made the playoffs, so he clearly wasn't the problem and he's awesome" is just plain stupid and cheapens any argument.

Fox went 8-8, in a weak division, in the weaker conference.

Carolina (Hurneys team) would have fares much better as well in that scenario

The average tenure of a GM is 4 years, excluding the GMs in Dallas and Cincinnati, where they are also owners. On the surface, a GM who inherits a great roster is going to look better than one who inherits crap. Usually, the first thing a GM who inherits crap does is hire a new coach. Then he begins remaking the roster.

If you look at the Panthers in the four years before Hurney got here, they averaged 5.3 wins a season. If you look at his first four years, they averaged 9.0 wins a season. That's not counting the playoffs, BTW. So as far as hiring the right guy and remaking the roster, Hurney doesn't suck.

In his next four seasons, he averaged 8.75 wins. And in the last two years, he's averaged 4. What should be noted here is that the 2 win season had a lot to do with JR's direct instructions to cut vets and let Fox work out his contract.

I would say that in his first eight years Hurney did a pretty good job of building a competitive team, without the benefit of a franchise quarterback. Now he has Cam Newton, and that alone should make his decisions look a lot smarter. Does it suddenly make him a better GM?

And for what it's worth, among active GMs only A.J. Smith had a better turn-around after taking over the football team.

That metric may mean something to some people here, it may not. But it's still a fact, so have fun turning it into an argument for the pre-conceived notions you already have. :)

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.

      It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
