I thought Gettleman said

[CRA]

Cams not every man on the field.

He overcame a pooty OL, one of the least producing RB committee's.....and had us in every game last year.

He had 5 TDs, 0 INTs vs Atlanta. He averaged 250 in the air and 100 on the ground in the two games against them. Yeah, he had some help but the kid was the Panthers. We have been on his back since he arrived.

We are a measly 4 million under the cap, what exactly did you expect?

Three things you'll hear every apologist say during the start of free agency.

1. Use the "cap" excuse while all other 31 teams whether they have plenty or are just a tight as ours makes significant moves

2. IT'S ONLY BEEN A FEW HOURS/DAYS/WEEKS/MONTHS CALM DOWN!!!"

3. And the most laughable one of them all "That's not part of the plan! That's not the way we do things!"

Three things you can count on the Panthers do to every offseason

1. Redefine the term bargain hunting. Whereas most teams seeing it as getting good players for good deals, the Panthers literally make every effort to show their cleverness/ faith in "the plan" by signing players who would struggle to make most NFLrosters/not pose a direct threat to one of Jerry's boys.

2. Not doing anything, regardless of the time frame. Except maybe some tennis.

3. Adamantly stick to their plan, and recite tired dated cliches about their philosophy which apologists will then take as religious text and recite it on the Huddle over and over again for years and years like some sort idiotic parrot even though the Panthers experience losing season after losing season because they refuse to come into this century. By boy gee golly, least we ain't gotta go admittin that we been doin it wrong.

I'd rather be mistaken as an apologist by an idiot, instead of being the idiot.

Too bad the guys he wanted sucked.

Imagine if he had traded up for Clausen for example...(like he wanted to do)

why do speak of rumors as if it's fact?

[SmashNDash]

Pretty sure it was confirmed that he had called teams at the bottom of the first round trying to trade up?

Hurney himself said as much in interviews and Clausen did as well.

- Carolina Panthers general manager Marty Hurney spent much of Friday trying to move up in the draft to take Jimmy Clausen, a day after the Notre Dame quarterback was a surprising first-round snub.

Hurney couldn't strike a deal, however, and when Arizona traded up to the 47th slot -- one pick ahead of the Panthers -- Hurney acknowledged he was crushed, sure the Cardinals were going to take him.

Panthers coach John Fox was at the other end.

"He told me he was trying to get up to the 33rd pick," Clausen said. "He was just really excited to have me on the team. I told him I can't wait to get there and go to work."

Why did you post this horrific memory? Man if this would have happened and he traded away the OVERALL #1 for Pickles? Holy shut I don't even want to think about it.

However, this does illustrate just how stupid Hurney is.

Think Cam Newton and you'll feel better. lol

If Hurney was the only GM that made mistakes....

[Peppers90 NC]

we have no idea what is being discussed behind closed doors and with what players. yea of course we are starving fans that want to see our team make a splash, but i wouldn't off yourself just yet because we haven't seen much action. now some should have offed themselves a long time ago.

[Happy Panther]

FIRE HURNEY!

[OneBadCat]

The only free agents im dissapointed we didn't get were Kenny Phillips and Sammy Hill.
