Man this is the same speculation that was posted like three days ago. It’s basically an article quoting an article. They not be sold on Bryce but this article ain’t talking about nothing. 
 

That’s said Nothing makes me wanna throw up more than an idea of drafting another first round quarterback but I also understand this was not Morgan’s pick. 

We honestly don't have much evidence what Morgan really thought about the Bryce move. For all we know, he was all in.

Fields would be a bad idea if you are bringing him in to start. Unless we want to run the triple option.

Ward I don't think will be available when we are picking. 

I wouldn't HATE the pick but he is a pretty wild gunslinger type. Could be Winston, could be Mahomes.

Doesn't have the deep ball accuracy of either of those guys.

This team is going to throw a bunch of money at Sam Darnold and the Huddle is going to explode. Memes aside I actually think Darnold would fit really well in Canales's scheme if we are able to get another playmaker at WR and some help on the defense we could be pretty solid with Darnold at QB.

Morgan and Fitterer were best friends. Any assumption that they were remotely at odds over Bryce Young is only one that can be made out of copium at this point.

Y’all have this weird assumption that, because Morgan and Fitt were close, he had to agree with every decision Fitt made. Do you agree with every decision your boss makes?

This is an assumption that holds as much weight as any other assumption here.

I don't share many if any opinions with my best friends who have generally been long time coworkers who own the company. It's their ship not mine even as lesser % partner.

Morgan was not his glorified secretary he was the assistant GM. He also kept the draft scouts basically entirely intact. If he were steadfast against some of the things Fitterer was doing in relation to the draft in particular he would have cleaned house from the go.

If you want to take the glass half full perspective on it that's perfectly fine but let's not bs one another on this if one of our rivals fired their worst GM in franchise history just to turn around and replace him with his right hand man you'd be cracking jokes. The reason Morgan gets the benefit of the doubt is former Panther status. That's fine but it doesn't change what he was part of these last few years. Nothing wrong with acknowledging that.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
