Kaye on what Morgan needs to do now

"Collaborative approach"  has been a big catchphrase for the Panthers ever since David Tepper bought the team.

It's also one of the factors behind the team's most recent downfall.

In his latest article for The Observer, Mike Kaye basically suggests that the "Appaloosa Way" needs to be sh-tcanned.

 

Excerpts:

ESTABLISH BOUNDARIES BETWEEN FRONT OFFICE, COACHING STAFF ... AND OWNERSHIP

While Morgan and the eventual head coach should share a mind toward roster building, there needs to be a line drawn in the sand when it comes to job responsibilities. The personnel department should handle offseason roster decisions, while the coaches should coach the players they are given. Input from both sides is important, but the reality is that the scouting staff is doing the majority of the leg work on evaluations and their expertise should be trusted. The same could be said for the depth chart with the coaching staff, as those coaches are working with the players within their system.

If the GM trusts his personnel department’s evaluations, Morgan should be the final say on free agency and the draft. If the coaching staff thinks a player fits their scheme and/or system better than a hand-picked player from the front office, then the coaches should win out with said player’s usage. Collaboration doesn’t need to be an every-task function. At some point, leaders need to lead within their functions and make important decisions on their own. As learned during the Matt Rhule and Frank Reich eras, the GM — when given the power to do so — needs to assert himself when it comes to roster movement. Tepper, in turn, should respect his new GM’s gumption and support the exec’s viewpoint. Tepper promoted Morgan for a reason.

There's a Draft Day quote in there somewhere, I'm sure of it.  🙂

I mean, that's basically the traditional NFL structure.

The coaching staff creates the systems and determines the kind of players they need to run them.

The personnel department goes out on scouts players, then drafts or signs the best ones they feel fit the system.

The coaches coach them in their system, set the depth chart, make the game plans, etc.

Nothing really new there...

I hope the reason Tepper promoted Morgan was not because he will go along with whatever Tepper says and just agree with him. In my ideal world Tepper promoted Morgan to tell him to shut the hell up when Tepper is about to make a dumb move.

Hearing "get out of here" from an outsider may not carry the same weight vs hearing it from someone you're familiar with

Fingers crossed Dan has the ability to say it --- and Tepper has the humility to finally listen

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
