Morgan got his guy. Perhaps we should all rejoice. 

We can at least fool ourselves into thinking that Morgan told Tepper--who we all know wanted Johnson--to effectively "put a sock in it."

In Morgan we trust, until proven otherwise.

I've done the "convince myself to get on board" thing too many times already.

I'm burnt out on it 😕

You shined Scott Fitterer's shoes more than anyone else in the Carolinas. There's no reason you can't be at least optimistic we didn't hire a retread.

As always Tepper and his wife are the wildcard here. No argument.

Nah, I just said he needed more time. Of course, that went out the window when Frank Reich was fired.

But as always, I know it's easier for you to argue against your misrepresentations of my positions than my actual positions.

I think that we'll hear plenty of optimism---optimism that seems delusional---about Bryce Young and how much Canales loves and believes I him (and how Morgan loves and believes in Young as well at his presser).  

Playing Devil's advocate, should he come in and say something like?...... "this whole oraganization totally blows! The owner is an egotistical jackass, and the starting QB is a noodle armed munchkin"

Good luck to the guy, he's started out the job as the captain of a ship that's three feet below the functional water line. He's got a helluva job ahead of him with limited resources, a potentially meddling ownership and a fanbase that has been bitten twice already.

It's going to have to see what he can turn out there before I'm able to really get behind this. But hey, surprise me man. 

Once upon a time I was like who's John Fox? And this guy Delhomme? He's a nothing burger, why did we grab him?

Sure would be nice to go on a wild ride like that all over again.

My big concern here Is that what everybody knew we needed was a guy who could/would tell David Tepper to butt out of this hiring decisions.

Canales is arguably the guy with the least leverage of any candidate to do that.

Fair, but I’m at least a little optimistic that Tepper is listening to Dan Morgan. Morgan has the extensive relationship with Canales.

I think you need a middle ground option between love it and indifferent.

I like the hire and I feel optimistic and think he can do good things here if Morgan is the right guy and the Tepper's can quit meddling so much. I'm glad we went this route instead of a retread. That's my main takeaway.

This is me as well.  He wasn't my top choice, but I am definitely intrigued.  I wanted a younger offensive guy that wasn't a rethread so he checks those boxes.  Spending over a decade under Pete Carroll is a nice box to check as well.

Brother all we gave him was time and each time we were worse off for it. All his wheeling and dealing only amounted to the darkest days in the history of our franchise.

If you gave him the benefit of the doubt and tons of rope there's no reason to not at least give Canales a season to show us something.

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By strato · Posted

      I hear you but yeah like you say, above average. His numbers were good. You’d think it would be a no brainer. Anyhow… I guess the new staff is also fine with him walking?    I hope if we sign him there isn’t some secret issue of his that led to him not being valued.
