McCoy: I'm always going to feel like a Buccaneer

It's almost as if Greg, Luke, Gerald, etc. know something we don't know. Or, do know.

He only came here because of Cam.lol

All this tells me is our vet players are leaving because they know this is going to be a rebuild project. It's why Luke retired, it's why Greg wanted out, it's why Gerald is leaving.

Luke retired for health reasons, and Olsen directly refuted the notion that he didn't care to be part of a rebuild.

Others? Maybe. But I also get the impression we're not exactly trying all that hard to keep them.

Make of it what you will. Not that this would prevent it, but I don't really see it as all that likely we were bringing him back anyway.

He made 15 tackles and $8m.  5 of them were sacks, because he did not give a crap about the run.

He played like a Buccaneer in 2019.

Is there a verbal rebellion going on?  It sure seems public statements are ambiguously anti-Tepper.  I recall the same kind of mutinous comments when good ole Marty was replaced by company man Gettlemen.  We should not assume that players' preferences serve the best interest of the fans---they want money and security, as we all do.

I've seen a comment or two that's raised an eyebrow and made me ask "wonder what he meant by that".

I do think it's generally acknowledged that with Richardson and Marty in charge, it was all about making the players happy. If we also happened to win, well hey that's cool too.

I could see some dislike for Tepper happening if that environment is changing.

    • Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding. 
    • Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership
    • 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.        ...
