I know a friend of friend that has a source close to Dan Morgan (not exactly Schefter reporting so make of it what you will)

But what I remember is even when we thought everything was cool and most felt good about Tepper’s hires and direction of the team, he told me that Tepper doesn’t know what he’s doing and is driving the organization into the ground.  He said that in the front office, Dan Morgan was the only one who would speak truth to Tepper and butt heads. 

I truly hope Dan would get the chance to replace Fitterer. I think he would not be a yes man and would actually bring some credibility to the organization. Yes he’s part of the staff now but he was not behind the terrible decisions. In fact I would bet he was probably the only dissenting voice in the room. 

Much like Brandon Beane, who should not have been judged because of Hurney or Gettleman, he needs his own chance to shine.

Speaking of Brandon Beane, he left the Panthers for the Bills in 2017. The following showcases the ineptitude of the Panthers and the huge blunder they made in not canning Nippleshorts for Beane.

Record by Season - Panthers:

2017: 11-5

2018: 7-9

2019: 5-11

2020: 5-11

2021: 5-12

2022: 7-10

2023: 2-15

Overall: 42-73

 

Record by Season - Bills:

2017: 9-7

2018: 6-10

2019: 10-6

2020: 13-3

2021: 11-6

2022: 13-3

2023: 11-6

Overall: 73-41

 

What a disaster!

What a disaster!

If we had canned nippleshorts two months earlier, beane probably never leaves.

Besides the Carolina connection from his playing days, why?

Remember to include his successes as an executive here in your answer.

 

What were Beane’s successes before he became the GM? 

Morgan was successful with Bills as director of personnel.

Regardless of who the new GM will be it needs to be someone who will tell Tepper to stop with all the home run swings at trying to fix the team in one offseason. We spent so much of our resources on Teddy, Sam, and Baker that when we finally made our move to get Bryce cupboard is now stripped bare with no easy way to support him. You have to hope that the new HC can work magic with Bryce with the pieces we do have because most of the cap we have now will be used to retain Luvu, Brown and Burns or you have to fug up the future cap down the road by restructuring guys and backloading contracts in order to get Bryce some help now.

If this were the stance for hiring anyone into any position, there would never be new entries into that specific line of work.

Sounds like a good way to give us all reasons to hate a former player that is well liked.

Just hire someone else and clean house. There are no good answers inhouse and there is nothing good worth carrying over into a new regime. Say good luck and hopefully he goes on to a competent organization to continue his career inprovement, not the career implosion awaiting him as a GM here.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience.

      excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan.
