A little insight into Dan Morgan's career path

Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy is making an effort to get more former players into scouting via an annual "Senior Bowl Scout School" that was started by previous bowl leader Phil Savage.

Lucky for us, one of the more successful examples Nagy can offer to prospective students is our own Dan Morgan.

In Albert Breer's latest MMQB column, Nagy talks a little about how Morgan got to where he is:

Nagy saw it first as a young Patriots scout working with Marvin Allen, who’s ascended to the role of assistant GM in Miami. And more recently, in his last gig, he saw it working with Dan Morgan, an ex-Pro Bowl linebacker, who worked his way up to pro scouting director in Seattle over eight years there. Eventually, the Bills poached him from Seattle to be their director of personnel, then the Panthers poached him from Buffalo to be assistant GM.

“Dan Morgan’s such a great example,” Nagy said. “He really started at the bottom, didn’t want shortcuts, didn’t expect shortcuts and did the grunt work. And he’s respected around the league, because didn’t ride his name as an ex-Pro Bowler to a big title. And Marv was great in New England. They do provide unique insight into a player’s mindset. And [Seattle GM] John Schneider was great at leaning on Dan—asking things like, ‘What would the locker room think?’ It’s a really valuable role they can play. They bring great perspective.

Even as a player, Morgan was never someone who expected to just have things handed to him. What he got, he earned. And I suspect he'll try to pass that same mentality down to current Panthers players and staff.

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
