Carolina Panthers general manager Dan Morgan has a busy offseason ahead of him. With a defense in need of a substantial retooling, and an offense still seeking playmakers, the second-year GM is on the hunt for talent. And that’s what brought him and nearly the entire Panthers scouting department to Frisco, Texas, this past weekend. More than a dozen Carolina evaluators were on hand during the first two practices of the annual East-West Shrine Bowl on Saturday and Sunday. The group interviewed dozens of players and watched practices to get insight ahead of the draft process. Most of that group will also attend the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, later this week.

I want good players. Every team has highly motivated, incredibly hard working, studious, great guys they cut every training camp because they just aren't good enough. Yeah, don't draft talented lazy idiots, but all the coach platitude hard work in the world doesn't matter if you don't have the talent.

I feel like this is one of the traps that great players fall into. In their mind the game is all mental. It's all about how hard you work and study and having the right attitude. That's because for them it was. Because they already had the elite talent. But that's the thing, if you don't have the talent all that other stuff just flat out doesn't matter.

Yep.  Most of the hardest working players were never made it to the NFL.  Most of the guys who wanted it the most never made it to the NFL.   That's why I've never understood people backing up players on here like Legette recently when they say they know he's a hard worker so he will succeed.   That guarantees nothing, it helps, but it only helps so much.  That's not me taking a shot at XL, he's just a recent example I've heard it a lot.

      Yeah I think he's just talking continuity it's not really an endorsement. Also I would think CarolinaHuddle of all places would understand using "we" for the team you follow. I can't STAND when dorks do the "Oh so you play for them then? Hurr hurr"

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).
