I will never put the Burns situation on Morgan. He got the best deal he could considering we had zero leverage. Fitterer was the one who screwed that situation up by not taking the Rams offer.

And then it leaks from somewhere. Bye bye leverage, have fun over at Brian Burns' house.

Not trading burns was the right move at the time. With hindsight it’s not, but that’s a cowards way to evaluate things, and the panthers don’t make their playoff push without him. 

Fitterer did plenty of crappy moves without penalizing him for his lack of future seeing ability. 

There is not a non qb player in the NFL that you don't make that trade for

Sorry, but it’s been reported by Person that Dan was in agreement of passing on the trade. Souleman was the only dissenting voice, likely because no soon to be $30M non-QB ever gets that much. Even the awful GM Bill O’Brien paid less for Tunsil than what we turned down for Burns because the Texans got two picks back.

 

And Samir Suleiman is no longer with the team.. Sound like he must’ve been forced out for being right. How am I not surprised?

We don’t know what transpired there. That wasn’t Dan’s final call to make

I’ve pointed this out multiple times. Nobody in here was in the meetings where the decisions were made. Blaming Morgan for moves Fitterer signed off on just because of guilt by association is absurd.

And no GM in the league is going to make a move that weakens his team for 1.5 years before he even gets to use the picks. 

I mean besides like peak belichick or roseman or something

If he disagreed he wouldn't have made it public, from a subordinate position. Job security. Plus Fitterer is his friend.

Suleiman, maybe he was right on the one thing people know about, but we don't know what went with or against in the many other meetings they surely had.

This is what people don't understand.  Scott Fitterer got fired before he would have made either of those 1sts.  Was it the right decision to trade Burns to the Rams for the Panthers?  Yes.  Was it the right decision for Scott Fitterer?  I'd argue no.  And I think Dan agreed with him for the same reasons.  That's not a trade you can make unless you have assurances that you won't be fired.

That's a good point. Self preservation is a great motivator.

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different.

      Last year Thielen had 615 yards in 10 games (had more ypg than his 1k season in 23).  XL had 497 in 16 games with tons of drops and Coker had 478 in 11. They also only had only 192 of our 518 targets to get those numbers. So if Thielen has 1,000 yards again, XL and Coker each improve to say 600 yards each, and T-Mac comes in at 800 yards, you're going to say that's not good enough?  Especially if he ends up with close to, if not getting to, double digit TD's like I think he will, as he's going to be a red zone monster for Bryce? Because if that's the breakdown of just the Top 4 and Bryce plays all 17 games, he's going to be pushing a 4,000 yard season as the TEs, RBs, and other WRs will probably add up to 750-1k yards as well, and I think that would be far more than anyone here could be expecting of him this season. Last year the Giants only had 2 players with more than 331 yards besides Nabers and they were 699 and 573 while Nabers "only" had 1,200 yards (granted in 15 games).  While the Jags second leading receiving was a TE with 411 yards and BTJ also "only" had 1,282 but in all 17 games. Odunze couldn't get there (734 in 17 games) with Moore and Allen there, just as McConkey was able to get there because his competition for targets was Quentin Johnson (711 yards), Josh Palmer (584), and Will Dissly (481) who I think Thielen, XL, and Coker are all better than any of them. If everyone stays healthy and XL/Coker have improved, I think Bryce is going to spread the ball around rather than focus on T-Mac in a way that most of the 1k rookies have been able to get. Again I point to MHJ and the Cardinals last year. They had 3,859 yards receiving.   McBride had 1,146, MHJ had 885, then their 3rd and 4th in rec yards were 548 and 414. Take the 146 and 85 that McBride/MHJ had over my example for our guys and give them to the other two and they get to 7 yards shy of the 600 I'm using for XL/Coker, while the rest of the team added up to 866 yards. So, if you expect T-Mac to get to 1k, where are you taking those yards from? if anything, XL and Coker each getting 600 yards seems like a low projection, so they wouldn't come from there. Maybe they come from Thielen now that we have T-Mac as the true #1.  But I think if anything, having T-Mac draw attention will just make it easier for Thielen to get open and him and Bryce have great chemistry already, he's not going to stop throwing his way if he can pick up easy chunks of yards there. So maybe they come from the RBs, TEs, other WRs, but it's I think a very fair example to show why expecting 1,000 yards if everyone stays healthy isn't necessarily fair to him. It's also why I said I'd then expect at least 1,200 yards in 2026, as once Thielen leave and all 3 of T-Mac/XL/Coker get better, they absorb that 1,000 yards Thielen leaves behind with T-Mac probably taking close to half of it and the other two splitting up the other half.
