Scott Fitterer is getting plenty of praise for the job he's doing right now - and he probably deserves it - but let's not forget one of his coworkers is working behind the scenes as well.

Dan Morgan wasn't around for the draft or the bigger part or our free agency moves (he came aboard in May) but you can bet he's in the mix for any and all evaluations that are being done now.

My expectation next season is that Morgan will have a big voice in free agency since his background is predominantly in the pro personnel department while Fitterer is a longtime college scout.

Mind you, that's assuming he doesn't get a GM job before that. And while I certainly don't begrudge him career advancement, I'd really like to keep him around for a while so here's hoping that particular promotion is still a year or two away.

You are very much correct.  He has not reached his full potential with the Panthers.  He may stick around until he becomes GM for the Panthers. 

I'd be pretty happy about that.

It'd really suck ass if he got a GM job next year because he wasn't here for the meaty part of our offseason. We'll only have had him for basically part of one year.

But sad to say, that's a possibility.

That'd be a meteoric rise through the ranks.

Season or offseason? 🤔

Maybe a little bit of column A, a bit of column B. 

If Dan is our GM next year, then there'll have been a collapse of epic proportions. A clean the entire house effort like Chip Kelly being shown the door in Philly thing.

Let's hope instead we get the season we're all needing. 13-4 with a run at the championship.

I was thinking of somewhere down the road...

Or someone plucks Fitterer from us because he's probably stealable since he doesn't have final roster say

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.

      He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
