Morgan tried to get a 7th round pick added on lol

Non issue.  Classic negotiating.

”Let me talk to my boss” to slow things down and gain leverage, which they did.

He was the face of the franchise, why wouldn't you run it past the owner

[ForJimmy]

Any major player getting moved would typically get ran by the owner first. Sounds like he didn’t alter the outcome at all.

Morgan was covering his own ass.

Considering it was Brian Burns, I'm sure Tepper had to sign-off on it. There is probably 1-4 players on the roster with that status. I highly doubt he would have needed approval if it was somebody like DiCaprio Bootle.

If Teppers tenure hadnt been filled with blunder after blunder and had been even a tiny bit successful, maybe. I'd see it more as weakness from GM who doesn't have any real power and the ultimate decision rests with a man that doesn't know football.

Burns. A fitting verb for how so many fans feel after they turned down the Ram’s offer.

"running it by the owner" is not an issue. It's just overblown with Tepper's history of meddling. Giants owner Mara was involved about the possibility of losing Saquan to Philly. These are multimillion dollar transactions of the owner's money, I would want to know if I had to pay that.

yeah, Tepper most likely has been very involved in all of our bad trades.   The constant.  Because we have traded a lot of top players and capital. 

and general grade there is pretty bad.

Nothing overblown about Tepper at this stage. 

Tepper has 5 seasons in the books as the Panthers owner.  5 different men have taken the field as our HC in that time span. 

Tepper has a soccer team.  3 years in.  3 different men have taken the field as their HC. 

Frankly, Tepper being in a small market with teams no one cares about..... gets less heat than someone in a different city would be getting.

Right, that is the normal way teams operate when it comes to franchise players.  Sounds like the deal was in place, Morgan ran it by Tepper, and he approved it.  If it was Tepper saying "we need to trade X player or acquire this player" then yeah it would fall under the "meddling" label he has been assigned with.  This appears to be some what normal.
