If Dan Morgan is stupid enough to believe that he deserves to get fired next season.

However, we really should go best player either way since we lack so much talent.

Dan will be our GM for a long time.  Every move hasn't been perfect but he started with very little and has the team on the path of relevance in 1 or 2 more seasons.

I don't think its about where in the draft you take a qb. But you need to make sure you bring in competition period next year for Bryce. If Morgan cares anything about his job security why would he not do this?? 

Agree. I have never believed in the “end the season strong and it will carry over to the next” scenario. 
I believe that each season is separated because a lot of these players will not be back next season. 
So Bryce could continue to play better through the rest of the year, but then he could suck next season. That is why I am with you in bringing in actual competition. 
That said I think a lot of his bad play was the PTSD of having such a bad line last season and even though this current line is so much better Bryce still did not trust them. 
What we are seeing now is a Bryce that finally trusts his line to protect him and he is playing better.

Mason Graham is purely a run defender 

I understand our run defense is literally non existent but to spend a top 10 pick on that… nah

Not a "sexy" pick, but he would improve every level of our defense. Obviously the run defense up front, keeping blockers off our linebackers, and allowing more penetration from Brown. It literally is a win-win-win situation.

    • Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.
    • It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter. 
    • The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
