Synopsis Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 28 minutes ago, Zithers2 said: Gettleman didn't want to cut them. They both had a year or two on their deals and were already asking for extensions. No GM with a clue would do that. Turner is the best OL the Panthers have and is pretty rock solid, if not a Pro Bowl caliber player. Realistically, not a single football player should be paid $15m per year to play a stupid game but Bradberry is probably the best defender on the team now and we're gonna let him walk. Gettleman drafted or signed Short, Star, Peanut, Coleman, Mitchell, Mikell, CMC, Samuel, Moton, Shaq, Turner, Norwell, Daryl, Benji, Funchess, Ginn, Tolbert, Bradberry, Harper, Palardy, and various other players who led to our playoff run. Hurney built the core nucleus with Cam, Luke, TD, Greg, and Kalil, sure... but... the team never did anything when Hurney ran the team with that nucleus. Gettleman did. No Hurney stan can ever defend this because he is indefensible. Dude doesn't have a clue on how to do anything besides draft 1st rounders. Moton is by far Carolina’s best OL. Turner has been a disappointment since 2017. Seriously? You really listed Samuel, Benjamin, and Funchess? Funchess and Benjamin are busts and Samuel hasn’t done much in the NFL. Tolbert wasn’t brought in by Gettleman. You’re crazy if you think we would have made the playoffs without Hurney’s core. Cam, Olsen, Stewart, Tolbert, Kalil, Kuechly, Davis, Norman were pro bowlers in 2015. All Hurney’s players. Gettleman did do a great job of finding role players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zithers2 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Samuel is good. It isn't his fault Kyle Allen and Will Grier (two Hurney additions) are unable to hit him. Guy is constantly open. Funchess and Benji were integral to playoff runs in '14, '15, and '17. My bad on Tolbert and also... Turner is better than Moton. Hurney has always been good at finding elite talent in the 1st round but he simply cannot build through the rest of the draft or with FAs. He has shown this for, like, thirteen years. We have three playoff appearances with him and the most recent one was 2008 (I don't count 2017 since Gettleman built that roster). There is no defending him as a GM. He wasn't interviewed while he was jobless for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bradberry - ... word is we are letting a borderline top ten corner walk lmfao! Marty Hurney is a genius! Reminder that the Panthers traded two picks to jump for Greg Little in last year's draft. And now have traded for Okung. Firing Gettleman is the worst mistake this franchise has ever made, regardless of what he's doing with the Giants. The team was simply one of the best in the NFL when he was running the ship. Hard to even care about this POS team these days. How is Kuechly retiring or Short being hurt Hurney’s fault?

Zithers2 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Not his fault but they are important to mention when talking about how doomed this franchise is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
