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.

In a few posts we've gone from Dan Morgan was against every bad decision Fitterer made to he also wanted CJ Stroud. It's cope season!

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?

I never understood the Mingo pick, but I was a huge fan of the TMJ pick. Like I’ve said before I’d be a horrible GM.

To the WR topic, hopefully Dan learns a lesson here about drafting natural route runners/hands catchers instead of athletic projects. He really lucked into Coker.

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.
