This will be his third season under his 4th regime

 

Let's be honest... this is his upcoming 2nd regime.  Those interim stints weren't program/scheme altering. Let's see what happens with a new OL coach/philosophy.  Offensive scheme def played a part in the abysmal OL play though.

The whole I want dawgz comment may get some folks juices running, but not mine.

I said after the Morgan-Canales presser that I was impressed with Canales, not Morgan.  That comment scared me, frankly.  I keep referencing a comment I heard a defensive backs coach say to the team when I played in college--(paraphrasing) when we (offense, I was a tight end) were eating their lunch at practice:  "I don't care if you run a 4.4 40 if it takes you a fifth of a second longer to process the play than some guy who runs a 4.6.  I want smart football players."

He later explained the comment to a friend of mine who was a GA coach at the time.  "Rarely are you running 4.4 40s on a football field, but you should always be thinking. Most of the better athletes never really had to compete with anyone when they were younger--success came easy.  The kid who has to use his mind is prepared, and frankly, makes fewer mental mistakes.  Eventually the good athletes rise to a point where they are not more physically gifted, and they have been flat lining for some time.  Meanwhile the kid who studies the game becomes more cunning, and soon he knows what the good athletes are going to do before they do." 

I expected Morgan to take off his shirt barking.  

On the other hand, I used to teach in the high school where Brandon Beane was the QB back in the day.  He and I used to get our cars inspected at the same station on the last day of the month.  It was when he was working under Marty H.  I was not that impressed--nice guy, but I never saw him as a "football mind."  I'd take him back in a minute.

I'd keep an eye on on Jonah Williams if he makes it to FA. 

My thought exactly. He wants to prove he's a LT, we also want someone to prove they are a LT. I see this as an absolute win. Think he'll cost 10-12 mil per. If he's an average league LT starter that's worth it, imo.

    • Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.  
    • Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
