10:40 AM ET 11.10 | The man who built the Giants' current core is back in the NFL. Ernie Accorsi, who served as the Giants' GM from 1998 until 2007, has joined the Panthers as a consultant. He will help Carolina find a new general manager; the club fired Marty Hurney last month. "I have a very high regard for Mr. Richardson and look forward to providing any help that I can to him and the organization in their search for a new general manager," Accorsi said in a statement. Accorsi, 71, is close friends with Panthers owner Jerry Richardson from their days working together with the Baltimore Colts in the 1970s.

It's better to admit clueless-ness late than never...

On a sidenote - if you haven't read "The GM" about Accorsi's last year with the Giants, it's a decent read...

Smart move by the Panthers. This means there is actually a chance a respectable GM will be hired. Something they definitely need after Hurney.

Accorsi is no slouch in evaluating talent. This is a good move by the Panthers.
