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.

Bryce and CJ were pretty much 1a and 1b it’s completely possible he was all in. Hell, I was all in.

I was too. Definitely missed that call.

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.

We aren't going to be picking at #1 or #2.

Will be barring a trade. What slot is your prediction?

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.

Or at least he wasn't strong enough in his convictions to resign when we did select Young.

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.

Not sure how anyone would expect fields to succeed here.  Terrible in chicago benced for wilson with pitt and somehow he would make it in carolina...lol

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.

They should barely even be negotiating, much less sold.
