Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan. 

Meh. Players respected and trusted Marty Hurney too. Turns out players love the guy that's lining their pockets. Who knew?

All that matters is that we actually finally start developing talent.

Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am. 

His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue. 

Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever? 

Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan. 

I have a little more faith than I used to but I'm still not sold yet.  Everyone wants to talk about how he improved our oline.  True, he definitely did.  He just brought in the two biggest free agents and paid them, I wouldn't say it was rocket science.  We have the highest paid oline in the NFL for a unit while greatly improved, ranks middle of the pack.   I will be sold and heap my praise when we have a position group outperforming their payroll.  What he did with the oline wasn't genius, it was common sense.

Yep, they way the o line was built is not a sustainable way to build each position group. We need to be better at drafting to really turn things around.

We'll see how it translates to the field but Canales already has Rhule and Reich beat on the team culture front. Low bar, to be fair.

THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted. 

 

Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
