"I've got a lot of friends I played with over there and a lot of coaches," Ealy said. "It's going to mean more to me playing in that game and just being fired up about going out there and just really doing what I need to do for my team. But also, getting a little revenge, I guess you could say."

The reason these players perform good after being released or traded is because they get motivated. Steve smith had around 700 receiving yds. We release him, he goes for over 1,000yds next season. Well gee, if you had played like that before, you wouldn't have been released. After his, "look panthers made a mistake by releasing me" season, he never eclipsed 800yds or 5 tds again. Same with d willis. He was continuously injured and barely had 200 rush yds. He gets released. He goes off in Pitt for over 800 yds and 11 tds starts talking trash. Well gee, maybe if you were playing like that before, we wdnt have released ya! Same goes with ealy. Some players needa get cut to find motivation.

Smitty was averaging nearly 100 yards per game before he tore his achilles a couple years ago. He was absolutely dominating that year. And was very solid last year coming off the injury. I don't necessarily think releasing him was the wrong move, as his production in '13 was dropping and he had a huge salary going forward, but to say he wasn't still good aside from being mad about the release is just stupid.

    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning. 
    • I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
