I’ll take your word for it.  So then who did he scout, Miles Sanders and DJ Chark?

Hindsight. Both players played well in their last stops before coming here. Chark was always a feast or famine option in a thin WR market. We’ve signed more contributors than we’ve drafted and that’s a real issue. But you don’t like Dan at GM that’s fine. He’s not my first option either if we’re being honest. The world won’t end if he gets the job though.

Not sure how many remember, but this would be something of a "back to the future" thing for us.

Jerry Richardson preferred a power split setup rather than a single GM. And right up till Marty Hurney, that's what we had.

OK, but under that scenario, whose going to handle what?

Theoretically, one guy handles personnel, the other general team administration, cap, etc.

That's been the 49ers model, with Peters being in charge of personnel and Lynch essentially everything else.

It's not a bad model as long as you have a true personnel guy handling the roster.

What I'm basically asking is what job do you believe that Morgan would excel at?

How Dan carries himself. He is an alpha. Natural leader of men.  In otherworldly, he's not a yes man. 

if Dan Morgan is an alpha GM  &not a " yes man " then why is he not the person hiring the next HC for the Carolina Panthers ?

Clean house. Despite being a fan favorite player, Morgan was part of the front office that put together the worst team in franchise history and one of the worst teams in the history of the NFL. You don't reward that by letting the guy fail upwards into a more powerful role.

Yeah.  I think it's time for a full flush.  You look at our personnel dept...Cole Spencer, Jared Kirskey, Robert Haines are others that have been here, leading the college front since the 2021 draft.  I won't pretend I know their true roles and how much sway they had, but Fitterer often referenced his team and how they became sold on guys during the process.  He referenced a lot of team collab--it just needs some good ole' flushing.

Jeff Morrow has also been there forever, as respected as he apparently is internally, his voice may be offering some shoddy advice.  

Team building was just too awful the past three seasons to give a single one of these guys the benefit of the doubt.  

Adrian Wilson-- league-wide respect and potential, he may be one that's okay to hold onto.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
