Morgan wanted to keep Burns and not deal him to the Rams for multiple first round picks.  Guys like Dan Morgan are why we are where we are today. 

Morgan was part of a group led by a bad GM (that we didn't  realize was so bad at the time) that thought it was a good idea at the time based on what they thought we were capable of.

You ever have those moments where something seems like a good idea at the time and then, after you step in it, you realize that it was a dog poo decision? That's how you learn. You step in poo and decide that is something you don't want to do again.

But after you step in dog poo and realize you should do what it takes to avoid it, you still have to deal with the poo already on your shoe. That might mean getting up close and personal with it and scraping it off. It stinks, and it's nasty and it's something  you really feel disgusted doing, but you do it anyways because it has to be done.

That's what we did yesterday, not that burns is dog poo. The situation was. It sucked that we had to do it because we stepped in it, but it had to be done and now we hope we've learned a we move forward.

I do think Morgan wanted to keep Burns at the time. Person reported that.  

 

But it was vastly different circumstances; we were still holding on to hope that we were a good team and didn't need a complete tear down.

They felt 27 million a year was going to get it done.  They, meaning the ones that actually do the contracts.  That's not Morgan, and it wasn't Fitt.

The trade to the Giants proves this wrong. 

I mean, you could essentially do those gymnastics with Fitterer, Tepper, etc too. 

Reporting from the longest-tenured beat writer said who did and didn't want to trade Burns to the Rams.   Fitterer and Morgan didn't have a realistic plan once they decided to keep Burns and not deal him to the Rams.  And that blew up on them.  They wanted to keep him and not pay him insane money.   Which didn't work.  And was really foolish once Burns had the leverage of what the Rams offered.

27 million a year wasn't going to get it done.  Didn't matter where he was at.

Person said it in the Athletic.  Only Samir wanted to trade for the picks.

 

But like I said, the circumstances at the time were very different.

none of that matters, they didnt want to do the trade regardless of whatever salary they were offering or what he wanted

 

You are right.  They didn't.    It was clearly foolish in hindsight.   The team thought they were in a better position long term than they were.

      Albert Breer talks about Dave Canales

      By Waldo · Posted

      Johnson is very smart IMO. He will get paid either way but avoiding a terrible spot can save your career too. He looks to be working the system and good for him. I always thought hiring interviews go both ways and have been disappointed watching people not realize this. He handled DC roughly but it was also funny because he did see them as what they are which is a new ownership group, even with Petters, he would be likely be destined for failure there while they figure out the normal learning curve of the NFL.  It's not lying it's just 'your great but I can't say what your not because that is taboo'. Sometimes lies are expected if the truth isn't what they want.  I agree generally. Ron was doing great work as a DC where he put in 6 years as DC at 2 teams vs Canales 1 year as OC before becoming a HC. Ron is such a known quantity by now, he earned his 2nd shot as a HC and it went as expected given his proclivities. Offense is just safer in this NFL vs Defense so any one that can score will get a look. Ryans is a beast but how do you think he fairs without Slowick? Which HCs were in the SB? Offensive guys. It's a thing and makes laughing about TB, Atlanta and NO all having beatable defensive coaches the Panthers still can't beat LOL. It's a dump. If your building a career the Panthers are a long shot. If you are taking a shot, getting paid and/or ready to grow from this failure then this is a great option. I think the jobs are extremely valuable on many levels but there is always a turd in the punchbowl with Tepper. Hurney, Rhule, Friterer, now Caldwell and maybe Morgan. Tepper always leaves some dookie around to contaminate the next batch...they literally help him fug up the next time. It's Tepper's MO, spend lots of money and lean on past failures into new failures. There has not been a truly fresh start under Tepper yet which explains why he keeps failing.

      What Carolina Panthers can learn from Justin Jefferson contract

      I would talk poo about their qb room but I'd rather have Darnold and JJ competing for our QB spot than giving BY free reign with no pressure
