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.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
