Panthers owner Jerry Richardson announced Monday morning the firing of general manager Marty Hurney. The move comes less than 24 hours after the Panthers struggled in a 19-14 loss to the Cowboys, dropping their record to 1-5. “This was an extremely difficult decision,†Richardson said in a team statement. “Marty made every effort to bring success to the Panthers and took the team to a Super Bowl and two NFC championship games. Unfortunately, we have not enjoyed the success we hoped for in recent years. I have the greatest respect and admiration for Marty and will always appreciate the way he tirelessly served the organization.†Following the loss to the Cowboys, a frustrated Cam Newton said “something’s going to have to change†and wanted to implement a suggestion box. Hurney recently took the blame for the team’s poor start, saying that he hates losing. He had been the Panthers GM since 2002. Source: Sports Illustrated

Here's the way I see it. If Cam isn't running, the Panthers aren't winning. However, Cam running increases his chances of getting hurt and shortening his career. I don't know what the answer is.
and this means rivera is basically a dead man walking because new g.m.'s typically want their own guy.
