Panthers showing interest in a QB

Panthers met with Morgan at the EW Shrine game and the Combine.  They are reported to be one of the most interested teams in Morgan.

He has the tools.

. James Morgan, FIU

FIU quarterback James Morgan set the single-season passing touchdown record his junior year in 2018. His ability to make every NFL style throw with ease is a big reason why scouts are starting to show plenty of interest in him.

Morgan spent his first two years starting on and off at Bowling Green, before transferring to FIU for his junior and senior seasons. He showed glimpses of the potential he had as a passer at Bowling Green, but it was when he transferred to FIU that he really thrived and became one of the best quarterbacks in Conference USA, if not the best.

Bowling Green’s offense was much different compared to FIU’s offense, but his exposure to playing in multiple personnel groups and facing a variety of defenses is something that has helped him develop as a quarterback. His ability to show improvement from his sophomore to junior year is a big reason why he is in the position he is in now. His highest completion percentage at Bowling Green was 56, but jumped to 65 percent in his first year at FIU. He also set the single-season passing touchdown record at FIU with 26.

Overview

James Morgan’s arm talent jumps off the film as he has the ability to make every throw asked of him. He is able to fit balls into tight windows and is not afraid to take a chance if it is there. He also demonstrated his toughness as he fought through injury this last season. He does a good job taking care of the football as his touchdown-to-interception ratio while starting for FIU for two seasons was almost 4-1.

While he has been knocked due to his mobility, his 4.89 40-yard dash time at the combine is more than enough speed for a pocket passer and should help quiet some of these questions.

While his senior year at FIU did not go according to plan, he still made NFL throw after NFL throw and showed his toughness as he played through being banged up. He is being talked about as a mid-to-late-round pick, but his ability to grasp the offense and contribute as a back up could see him thrust into the starting role at some point if he is in the right situation.

Minshew 2.0.

Zero % chance he ever dons a Panthers uniform.

FACT: We met with him at the EW Shrine Game.

FACT: We met with him at the combine

FACT: The Patriots and other teams  have met with him more than once.

FACT: Many say there is increasing buzz about this player.

YOUR CONCLUSION , AS UNSUPPORTED BY FACT AS IT MAY BE:  "There is ZERO chance he ever dons a Panthers uniform"

No--the point of the thread means there is a chance.

His stock is rising, according to what I am reading .  Brady might be looking for a QB to develop.  Based on the little I know about him--which is probably more than most of you know about him, he could be a diamond in the rough.  I do not understand the interest or what they are looking for, but do not be surprised if they draft him on day 3.

I would wait a year before drafting a QB.  We can’t start him behind this OL anyway, may as well fix that first.

Trading for Okung was a nice first step in that direction. Also I don’t think we’d be playing a day three qb as a rookie. He’d be a developmental prospect.

The guy isn't showing me anything in that reel.  He is consistently underthrowing his deep balls, he's locking on to receivers on intermediate routes and often being bailed out by great RAC from his receivers.  I don't see it.

I'm fine with a flier on a 4th to 7th round QB as long as we don't neglect a potential player that could be in our two deep from day one. At least if you gamble on a QB in the late rounds then it is a cheap gamble on a potentially 2nd or 3rd string QB. It's better than paying $3-7 mil for a backup veteran when we all know we're fuged if Cam goes down anyway.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
