    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,â€￾ 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.â€￾

    Following the loss to the Cowboys, a frustrated Cam Newton said “something’s going to have to changeâ€￾ 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.

    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.

    Don't draft a franchise QB that can't read a defense and is a lazy spoiled brat.
