Dennis Cox is not down with the Dan Morgan Hire for the same reason that some here aren't. Chris Lea says that in Morgan's first presser, reporters need to ask some specific questions, and he's right. Depending upon how Morgan answers the questions will probably give us some insight as to how this next iteration of David Tepper's hires will go.

 

 

Just paraphrasing a little in no certain order:

1. How are you going to be different from Scott, Dan?

2. Dan, do you have autonomy to make decisions without interference from Dave?

3. What about the management and handling of draft assets, Dan?

Dan's got some explaining to do. I think that fans deserve some answers after this last few years.

He was the previous GMs right hand. He was Teppers right pinky finger. He was responsible for delivering the assessments & information on players & trade potential to Fitterer. He doesn't need to answer for his part in all of the mess which is tied directly to Fitterer's decisions? He wasn't just an intern or analyst that sat outside the decision making process.

I hope he's more like Beane, but the last 3 years with defensive improvements, defensive drafting & the LB moves I have some concerns.

This 10000000% he’s a former player, he’s well versed in media sessions. Don’t tell me, show me. 

And the same questions apply to any GM.

But he's not going to throw Fitterer under the bus and he's not going ti reveal some grand strategy and plan.

These are just things the media does to create content. It's not really relevant beyond that.

Why are we making this harder than it is?  With Tepper in the building can you really evaluate the people he hires?  He just overrules their decisions with his own, unless they do what he was already planning to do.  Does that mean Dan will be good or bad?  Who knows? But how can you blame him?  We have no idea what decisions he’ll actually be allowed to make.

It's not about the previous GM, it's about how he will be different, and I believe it's a very valid question. Any incoming GM should be able to answer that.

I said what I said.  I meant what I said.  I am sure he'll have his own words on his press conference to speak of himself.

He took the job after being the assistant GM. That's on him any way you look at it. He is fine with all of that or he wouldn't still be here. And yes it also points to Dan not being very good or Tepper wouldn't want him, use every one of Tepper's hires as an example of this fact.

we just finished a historically bad season and have the worst roster in the nfl and we gave up the #1 overall pick, his ass should absolutely have to answer each and every question about that debacle he was in the side car for

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
