I can’t prove that I’m right, but I know plenty of powerful people in football who share this opinion – and. like me, they probably hate to see the Panthers rewarded with the No. 1 overall pick.

Stopped reading at that point

Maybe the National media really do hate us :lol:

"By doing neither, Richardson put the Panthers in obvious lame-duck mode, something which typically results in disaster in a league in which players are asked to summon a pronounced degree of emotional commitment. From Bill Cowher’s final year in Pittsburgh to Marvin Lewis’ lost 2010 season in Cincinnati, this type of arrangement tends to suck the life out of an organization and engender a going-through-the-motions vibe."

Exactly. But they got paaaiiiidd riight???

Please dear god let Beason, Dwill know how to forgive.

Something he is wrong about, these players for sure deserve the #1 pick. Who cares about JR.

His whole argument revolves around 3 points: we didn't replace Peppers, we didn't buy Fox out/fire him and Richardson is spearheading the labor dispute.

1. Charles Johnson is apparently invisible.

2. It's easy to say "eat 6 million dollars you cheap bastard" when you're not actually the one paying for anything. Fans who buy tickets can complain here, not a blogger from Yahoo who has probably never seen more than 10 minutes of highlights from a Panthers game in his life.

3. This is the only point that has some merit. Still, this doesn't mean he tanked anything, it means he's a businessman who disagrees with a labor union. There's a shocker.

I guess it's more fun to villainize the owner here, but maybe he really thought Fox, who's never had a record with less than 7 wins, would make this season a little more competitive, rather than sulking through half of it.

The writer can be proven right simply by fact it took last year to get a Panthers logo on the BofA field. He cares more for the NFL as an organization than he does the Panthers as a team.

Does the writer have a chip on his shoulders? Yep. Do a lot of fans? Yep, and the stupid-ass apology JR gave to the fans was an admission of guilt.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
