We also said the same thing when Gettleman was fired. We as fans don’t really know poo when it comes to GMs and even worse Asst GMs. 

That's true but I would argue Beane is more of an outlier.

As far as Morgan removing the emotional attachment revolving around his history as a Panthers player all we have to go on is his involvement here and Buffalo. If we are to go the glass half full approach we would say his time with the Bills says we should take a shot on him because he was involved at some level in some very solid roster building. On the flip side we said the same thing about Fitterer when we snagged him from Seattle.

It's a crapshoot.

So I suggested elsewhere that rather than be GM, Morgan could be a good person for the role Joe Person has talked about, i.e. an ego handler and a go-between for Tepper and team personnel.

I'm probably more comfortable with that idea.

I think part of the problem is too many voices and cooks in the kitchen.  The new GM needs to be able to handle personnel, draft, cap and say no to Tepper.

I think they had to give him the courtesy of an interview.  It is hard to justify an internal hire during a house cleaning, but we shall see.  I like what I hear, but I would want to hear from outsiders.  Sometimes serving in a toxic environment does not give you experience.  It will be interesting, but I would love to see him serving in some capacity that influences personnel, based on what I know of his performance in that area.

I do not know if our scouts were terrible or that the front office did not listen to their recommendations, so his relationship with scouting is important one way or another.

Seriously, every single scout for the Carolina Panthers should be fired this offseason.

Every. Single. One.

That last part is the hard thing.

Potentially easier if there's someone to do it for them.

I would give Dan a chance, he's got enough experience at this point and my sources say he's the only one in the room with balls to disagree with Tepper.

I know Morgan and his wife pretty well. Morgan (or his wife) is not the type to not say what they think. They are great people. I highly respect and admire them both.

That said, it’s always hard for be to believe the best possible candidate is already in the building as this franchise has tried to sell for a while now and it never works out.

Nay. 

I want to quit hanging on to parts of failed and joke eras.  Fitt should of been gone with Rhule.  The top of the entire team needs to go.  Morgan is part of that.  Maybe Morgan is great.  I don't see the point of gambling with it.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By Basbear · Posted

      They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....

      He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.

      I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
