Derrick Morgan hints at meeting with the Panthers

Tea leaving, huh....

He's a legit DE/pass rusher/football player. He's around the QB cause I've seen his name among leaders in hurries, pressures, QB hits etc. Plus he had a few PDs, that's impressive given he's not 3-4 LB. Former first rounder too, he's got talent.

I don't think the panthers need DEs, they have 5 solid nfl ones. But dave going dave.

He's only 26? Perfect Hardy replacement. The only problem I see is we like for defensive ends to be able to play DT which I don't think Morgan can play.

No but Ealy can. Not every DE needs to be able to, we just need a package of players that can make that alignment work. And Morgan would help.

Compare his sack total to Greg Hardy's over his first 4 years--not a lot of difference. 

 

Hardy had the one 15-sack season, but when I saw that season, I saw a lot of weaker OTs giving him multiple sack games.  I also saw several sacks he was given where he was not the first to pressure the qb. 

 

I think they are looking LDE, by the way, at least eventually. 

Are you really comparing Derrick Morgan to Greg Hardy?

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
