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

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
