Dan Morgan is an awful GM

There's a lot of trash in the front office.

Now, we're paying BOTH Dionte and Donte this season to play for other teams while our cap is already a mess.

They do this every year and are always shocked at how awful they look. Every. Year.

If I’m a team looking for a great deal I’m calling Morgan.  Candy from a baby 

[Joe Bear]

The top 10 players on the Panthers' payroll are always on other teams' rosters, and the other teams get free draft picks to carry them, too. I'm good with Morgan sticking around for another year because I want to see his and Tepper's reaction when the Sanders pick blows up in their face just like everything else.

DJax was getting cut either way. 

That's how I remember it, not cut specifically but I didn't think he was in the plans and we were happy to get something.

I am pretty sure both are here through at least the 2025 season.  But if things dont immediately turn around in 2026 oh boy.

I'd imagine Morgan's safe as well. Successful, on the other hand, is a 0.0% possibility. Full Blutarsky.

Creating a thread for everyone to pile on the GM, since there are already plenty of them for the owner and this season's coach.

I, for one, was excited about the prospect of Morgan as the GM. I was wrong; he sucks and is doing nothing but contributing to decades-long failure, with only the faint hope of the franchise folding being the light at the end of the tunnel.

What do you want Morgan to do? We have what we have for right now and are probably three years off from being competitive. Diontae is almost 30 years old.

Trade Miles Sanders as well, for what you can get. Draft Shadeur Sanders, build the defense. The offense could actually be good with what we have, I feel, if we had a game changer QB.

This is seriously what I want Morgan to do:

1) Never, ever, make another trade. Ever. Don't even pick up the phone. There are good negotiators, bad negotiators, and then Dan Morgan is 18 steps below them.
2) When negotiating salaries with free agents, walk out of the room when their agents arrive. Don't come back in until they've left.
3) Tell the Teppers that Shedeur Sanders will dazzle them at dinner in April, and he'll give them all the positive publicity they crave in May and June, but he'll be another Bryce Young. Don't draft him.
4) Again, when a team pitches a trade related to the draft, take every phone in the room and bash it with a hammer until it no longer works.

I've looked up this team's trade history since 2021 on PFR, and it's impressive.

They've helped build the Bears into a playoff contender and restocked the talent pool at several other stops. In the meantime, they've gotten hilariously fleeced in 27 of 32 total trades (and all but one since 2022!), and destroyed their salary cap in the process. That's a level of front-office incompetence that would make Rachel Phelps jealous.

If Fitterer’s plan was to trade all the good players away to draft shitter replacements, mission accomplished. Otherwise I have no idea what his plan actually was. 

Build from the trenches out, fortify the defense, get the skill players set, then draft the quarterback.

A lot of that actually did get done. Unfortunately the lynchpin was Bryce, so...

The plan was solid, and pretty common. Lots of teams build that way.

Unfortunately, the execution was subpar, especially at the most important position.

Dude as evidenced by our roster and shitty trades and no trades you could absolutely easily make the case that your boy fitterer was the worst GM in the history of the NFL.  Plan or no plan the motherfuger sucked ass and its still strange how you defend to this day
