Hi All, new to your forum. Just wanted to pop in and ask you guys how Chris Morris is working out. I can see that not many of you are real high on him. Well, I've been a Raiders fan for 29 years. I felt that Chris Morris was one of the best guys on our roster--was AMAZED when he got cut. The excuse was: he didn't fit into the "system". I guess that means the "system" of LOSING!! In 2009, he beat Samson Satele (a 12 year vet and Pro Bowl center) for the starting job at center and played GREAT. Only reason he didn't keep the position is because he had to move to LG to cover for Robert Gallery when he went down (AGAIN) with injury. I don't think Gallery has ever played more than 8-10 games in a season and Chris spent 3-4 years (I think) filling in for him---another 'perk' to having Chris on the roster. I think a lot of Chris's stats might look a little skewed because the first 3 years of his career he wasn't a "starter" but logged A LOT of time on the field covering for Gallery (who is always, always, always injured).

I have never gotten to see a complete Panthers game (yet) but from what I've see, Chris could be a BIG improvement to your O-line--depending on your "system" (Just my opinion). I think he's very good at Center--able to read defenses/blitz and quarter back the O-line. If you want to see his run blocking, check out the game against the Chargers on opening day, 2009.

So, anyway.....what do you guys think of him so far? Has he gotten into any games yet?

Obviously, I'm a Chris Morris fan--and now a new Panthers fan. I can't watch the game today but I'll be rooting for the Panthers to kick the crap out of Tamps Bay. Go Panthers!!!

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
