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.

I'm not one to judge when I don't know. To me, until someone comes up with the play by play of each move Fitterer made I am going to withhold attaching his (Morgan's) judgement to Fitterer's decisions.

Absent 100% confirmation that Morgan had the same evaluations, we only can even assume he agreed. Because the boss made the decision. We don't know if the agreement was enthusiastic, reluctant, whatever. 

I am judging him on what he has done as GM. Still has a lot left to do before I would speak a judgement type of opinion on the quality of his work. Grade = Incomplete.

That's perfectly fine. I agree.

Also to preface all this I want to be clear that I want him to succeed.

That doesn't mean that there has to be any going out of my way to tell myself he did or didn't like this or that move when he worked with Fitterer though. The only people that know worked with them. And no one is going to talk anytime soon.

All that matters is what Dan does in the upcoming draft. He needs to nail it. No pressure.

I think this means there will be competition in the QB room next year with Young in the mix.  He has improved but not to the degree that he should be crowned as the undisputed franchise QB.  Let him continue to prove he can be that against legitimate competition such as Fields or by drafting another QB

I think they should just end the drama and tell him he's playing for his next team. Full stop. This week to week "do they, don't they", "will they, won't they" stuff is crazy. 

Maybe Shanahan will trade one of their 3rds for him rather than pay Purdy the big dollars--he's certainly on the list of coaches I think would say, "They're just not using him right". Plus Lynch already knows the Panthers' price list.

Bryce can head back home to California and Carolina can continue its neverending quest to replace Cam.

Justin Fields is the exact opposite of what Canales is looking for, getting the ball out quickly to “playmakers”. However, if said playmakers are non-existent, then a wingback offense circa 1920s may be his best option 

Canales wants to run the ball and take deep shots

Fields is a really damn good fit for what Dave wants to do

a backfield of Fields, Chuba and Brooks behind this OL combined with Fields deep ball… would be fun to watch

5 to 10. 

It's not plausible that we lose out.

I think we end up closer to 10

We very well could end up splitting with the Bucs due to their injuries, beating the Cowboys and Arizona seems to really struggle when travelling all the way to Charlotte. Atlanta could end up resting all their starters the last week too

Even 2 more wins combined with all the bad teams this year puts us way back. Some of those bad teams do still play each other but unless we lose out (I doubt that happens) we’re going to be closer to 10

      2025 College Football Thread

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      UNC's football relevance has always basically been, "Hey, remember how great our basketball program is?" To extent that has worked but they have never been able to capitalize on that towards being a legit ACC power. The closest was Mack Brown 1.0 and that was stopped by prime Bowden FSU. TBH, they should have utilized all these resources they just poured into Belichick into, IDK, a legit college football coach? This is one of the more insane uses of that kind of money I have seen in CFB, which is no stranger to insane, irresponsible uses of money. The SEC and Big Ten have already shot themselves in the foot. The model they are operating on only works if TV revenues continue to go up. Well, demographics aren't working in their favor. Economics either, TBH. The NIL didn't change very much, if you notice. The haves still have and the have nots don't. The only difference between pre-NIL and NIL was the money being below the table and above it. College athletics has never at any point been about fairness. It's the most dramatically unequal system in all US atheltics. My only hope is that the collapse is swift, dramatic and most importantly SOON. I would like to see the rebuilding of this all to something closer to what it was 40-50 years ago. Regional and not such money grubbing nonsense.

      Hendon Hooker signed to practice squad

      By Waldo · Posted

      Meh Dalton looks washed. He was good for at least 1 entertaining game a year but Im not sure he even has one of those left at this point. His game style and old age hasn't been a good combo IMO.  Not going to compare him to Hooker because Hooker is another longshot to ever be worth a #2 spot. At least he isn't Plummer I guess. Young better stay healthy or they could go backwards in wins with those 2 options this year.
