You guys slurping Dan Morgan might want to slow your roll. After the Giants we've got Chiefs Bucs Eagles Cowboys Cardinals. Suffice to say there's going to be a few bumpy games that will put a bit of a dent in this Dan Morgan can do no wrong parade.

I don't yet support or dislike Morgan as GM and it doesn't have to be all in or all out here. Morgan has made some decent moves and some I question. Giving him credit for some decent moves doesn't necessarily mean sucking him off. I don't know what I think of him yet but I'm not going to trash his every move he makes just because I don't like the guy for some odd reason or because he worked under Fitt. He is here and probably for a bit whether anybody on this message board likes it or not.

You are missing the point by a country mile.

At this point it as nothing to do with wins.

I'm well aware this is a developmental season but we also did not enter this season with our GM telling us it was a full rebuild. He specifically said it was a "retooling". That is the issue why he is not getting a pass from some people. He like Fitterer before him lacks the understanding that we are not a player or even a few players away from truly competing.

And this franchise has the worst win percentage in all of professional sports the last few years. Let's not sit here and say this has nothing to do with wins. No one in this organization is paid to put out a terrible product.

As of right now we are barely ahead of the Saints for worst team in the league. Congratulations Dan I guess.

He owns the Panthers record for worst. In the nfl? He has a lot of competition for worst GM but I'm struggling to think of one at the moment. 

Without the BY trade he’s just a run of the mill bad GM. Trading away what he did for a massive bust at QB? That will shoot you up to the top of the list

Matt Millen might be in the conversation. You can probably look at a bunch of old school losing teams and look up their GMs. We don't remember their names.

The kids are alright...

The vets though..on defense…yeah, we don’t have the best lol. 

Overall, the Defense needs some heavy duty offseason cleaning — we need to find a potential stud pass rusher and some other pieces. Injuries hit us huge too. 

Good drafting will cure a lot of things, it seems like a step in the right direction, but l’m not necessarily anointing Morgan yet.

How bad was Scott Fitterer? Worst GM in the history of the NFL or just in Panthers history?

The combination of Matt Rhule, Scott Fitterer and David Tepper might be the worst in the history of the league or at least in the convo

Recency bias (and fan bias) but he absolutely tanked the Panthers franchise in just 3 Drafts.

Hired in 2021, fired before the 2024 Draft.

Players that are still on the team (starters highlighted):

Horn, Christensen, Tremble, Hubbard, Ekwonu, Barno, Mays, Young, Johnson, Zavala.

That's horrific.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
