Rivera loves "his" guys. I'll put my trust in him and roll with it. Not like there is another choice.

Just about every HC, coordinator and GM has been fired at one time or another. Not to say he's the man, but getting fired in and of itself isn't much of an indicator of future success.

Hurney had harassment and domestic violence charges in his past that were later dropped. Sounds like an A+ turd to me. I think there are probably much higher quality, younger, more cutting edge GM candidates out there than him.

It’s one thing to bring in people you’re familiar with. It’s another to bring in EVERYONE from your previous employer and not diversify with people who will bring different perspectives. With each additional former Panther’s hire, I get a little more frustrated.

Why?

Because bringing every single person from Carolina just gives me the “Yes Man” feeing to it. Do great leaders bring in people they trust? Yes. But they also bring in people with a diversified range of experiences and talents to balance the leader out.

Plus I don’t think Hurney has done much to qualify himself as a talented GM recently. Relying on his past track record from long ago doesn’t cut the mustard in today’s modern NFL. What worked a decade ago isn’t going to yield the same result now most likely. Unless he’s just filling in gaps that Kyle Smith doesn’t have background in and Kyle is essentially running most other things I’m the organization, I don’t like it.
