Not sure why so many can't grasp that Morgan was likely the dissenting voice on many of the mistakes and that's why he got the job

Not really. He was against the Burns to Rams trade. There have been articles by Panthers writers saying he was in lock step with Fitterer on most decisions.

I think Tepper wanted a new face that he still knew well.

Specifically I'd guess he wanted Stroud

Oh my god ... is it Dan Morgan laser eyes time? Good trade! Second time we've used Jerry to our benefit, one when he didn't stop babbling about Jonathan Brooks in the press conference so we traded up to get him the next day, and here getting a 4th for a guy who simply stinks.

This isn't the flex you think it is. It just shows Jones sucks and doesn't have an eye for talent. And that should make you think twice about crowning Brooks. I mean if Jones wanted him...

Good trade, good win. Rome wasn't built in a day and all that jazz. My belief is we have are establishing a decent base to be competitive in a couple of years. Hear me, competitive, not contending. Next year's draft will be huge and the level of these picks are going to position us to take some good players.

I don't think people are understanding what really happened with the Johnson trade.  I highly doubt he would have seen another snap on this team after his comments, they weren't trying to get anything out of him, they were trying to get rid of him.  All things considered, Dan did good on that as well, got him out of the locker room ASAP and got something for him.

I actually think I DO understand lol.  I understand that when you're losing players will say things that are out of character. Diontae did not earn this super diva reputation people are trying to paint while here. The soft teams just go trading those talents away.  Diontae was easily one of the top names on the WR market, and we gave him to a team with championship aspirations for a 5th rounder. Not only that but we also gave up a pick as well.

For me it's the equivalent of when I'd trade in a game at GameStop and they'd offer me $2 to turn around and sell it for $30. I'd rather hold on to the game, and if I play it I play it, than get robbed bc I just wanted to move that piece. Part of the role Dan has is negotiation, negotiate something better (as shown in this trade.)

Mingo never looked good out there seems like a great athlete attempting to play the WR position Jalen Coker is half the athlete but a natural WR 

I really feel like Coker’s athleticism is undersold. The dude had a 42” vertical, which is generally agreed to be a great metric for explosive athleticism. He seems to have plenty of speed on the field

Why did the Steelers trade him? They traded him and then turned around and are in the market for a WR, why?

You seem to have an answer already so you tell me. Also I should've added 'while he was here'. The comments that I heard from Diontae sounded right on par with a WR that's on a 1-7 team with minimal production from the QB position.

Us always wanting choir boys is part of why we have never had back to back winning seasons.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
