Unfortunate waste of text and energy but we gotta get rid of Morgan and Tepper. We need a complete overhaul of the organization to get out of this mess. This is just a minute example of the issues we've had. Under this group we don't just rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic... we throw the life rafts overboard as well.

No poo. The fact that the huddle couldn't piece that together when they saw the compensation,  is pathetic. 

Yeah he was becoming an issue on the field too giving up on routes while throwing teammates under the bus.  You can't have that while trying to change the culture.  The fact remains we were always getting much less than what Hopkins went for.  So we save $4 million dollars in rollover cap and move up some spots later in the draft.  No big deal he had to go and this was the best offer.

New Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson is a very cheap acquisition in Baltimore.

The Panthers are paying most of Johnson’s remaining salary in the deal, and the Ravens will only have to pay Johnson about $625,000, according to Jeff Zrebiec of TheAthletic.com.

The trade was Johnson and the Panthers’ sixth-round pick for the Ravens’ fifth-round pick. So the Panthers are going to pay more than $3 million in cash and cap space and give Johnson away just to move up maybe 15 spots in the middle of Day 3 of the draft.

Four thoughts on this:

1) the real payoff hasn't happened yet; that'll be when this fifth-round pick gets cut after training camp next year, and their sixth-round pick is an All-Pro three of the next five years.

2) I was excited about Dan Morgan as GM. I was wrong. I'll admit it; Fitterer's the worst GM in NFL history and Morgan's not that bad, but he's a God-awful GM and easily No. 32 in the league.

3) This team will set the record for most consecutive seasons with the NFL's worst record, and it's going to be for at least another decade. It'll be until the mid-2030s before another team's season is worse than one of these.

4) Three of the five worst trades in NFL history have come out of Charlotte in the last three years.

What's crazy is that if those four players were just released outright, this team would be better off than now. It's the punchline of every sport; "At least we're not the Carolina Panthers."

I seriously don't think they're going to have a record as good as 3-14 for another 9-10 years. Hopefully by then they've folded, because their existence is an embarrassment and a black eye on the Carolinas. Every day they're in business is a worse day for this state.

Terrible trade. 0/10

If that was truly the best, just cut the guy. So I guess all the reports of teamS wanting him were BS. Just awful, he could bring in a comp of 3rd and rvens are the best at comp picks.

Think about this the Panthers cut Coker at seasons start and it took a injury to AT for them to bring him on the 53. Some other team could have signed him off the PS and wrecked one of the few bright spots for the seasons. Coker allowed Johnson to be traded, but I do not buy the cancer stuff....the guy can play as anyone's #2. 

 had to pay most of salary and give away a pick?? fug outta here with that, call 911

Wtf Morgan!?! ..I get the trade but a 5th??? 

Even if we couldn't resign him this offseason we could have possibly got a 3rd off comp picks alone.

I'm taking it as Dan's intending on breaking the bank in FA which would cancel it anyway. 

That said, we honestly might be garbage/incompetent in every facet as an organization.

The "we got rid of a locker room problem" angle is moot because we knew what he was when we traded for him. Even random Steelers fans came here telling us he was basically a headcase. We paid this guy to leave that's how bad it was.

People can take the cope route after this move and rejoice Johnson is gone but the real problem remains. Morgan is throwing poo at the wall no different than Fitterer did. And he's got David Tepper in his ear dictating to him what to do just like he did with Scott.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
