He's every bit as qualified as anyone you can name. There is no reason to hate on this hire.  

 

Really? What was his best move in the past 3 years in the Panthers GM room? If he wasn’t a Yes man, was he fine with trading DJ and did he think we shouldn’t trade Burns? If he voiced his displeasure with the Young hire, why did Tepper hire him and why wasn’t he able to change minds? If we assume he’s clearly not going to swallow his voice then does it stand to reason that Morgan was part of the consensus picking Young?

I asked questions like these when people wanted to give Fitterer a chance because even though we sucked balls, it was Rhule’s fault and I got no answers. I still never got an answer on what was Fitterer’s best value move and why we should keep him. I was clearly right on wanting Fitterer gone last year so what did Morgan do well here?

If you can't see the difference in these two situations that's on you. Pointing out a player's lack of ability has never been off limits here. But mocking a player for injuries sustained on the field is just being a straight up trashy person and I got the garbage truck warmed up.

Meanwhile, feel free to go find where I've called Bryce Young or any other player a midget.

Take that trash out man. Hell you banned my old screen name when I told you in private message that you sucked as a moderator after suspending me for a day or two. Treat these goofs no different and take the trash out. I needed a new screen name anyhow. Didn't like my old one in the first place.

If Dan were just coming here from Buffalo we would be ecstatic. His record was solid. Who knows what went on in personnel matters or who made decisions? And honestly if the message in all this is that it needs to be different then the issues shouldn't be dragging up the past and complaining but discussing what needs to change and see how we attack it. There will be plenty of time to criticize if the results stay the same. I prefer to think of Dan as adaptable and able to change and learn at 45 to help turn things around. Like being a middle linebacker and watching film to get a strategy to execute on Sunday.

I can't ever remember banning someone for a PM. You must have been a real prick about it. LOL!

Isn't John Lynch the only applicable comparison anyway?

After Bryce Young maybe we should take it easy drawing parallels to justify team decisions for awhile. Just saying.

Maybe, but I was firmly seated on the "Bryce ain't it" train with only a few others while the rest of this forum thought he was clearly the best QB in the draft... so I feel pretty good about my assessments.

Yeah, criticizing a player's performance on the field and his physical ability to perform on the field is not the same thing as mocking a former player for serious injuries incurred on the field. This isn't difficult to comprehend.

Hiring someone from within the worst front office in the NFL sounds like an awesome idea.  

I have no argument against that. I honestly think the outside interest may have proven very soft.

Just to be clear, criticism of the hire, criticisms of moves made or not made by Morgan are 100% fair game, as always. The only thing we want to nip in the bud here very specifically is mocking his history of concussions on the field incurred for our entertainment. I'm pretty disappointed that some folks have such an issue with what seems to me to be a very fair request for common decency.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
