Panthers will not draft a quarterback this year unless it is in later rounds. Too many other positions of need. 

We weren't drafting a high QB this year anyway.  Unless Bryce looked like the absolute worst QB in the League, he was always going to get at least one more year.

They are getting hard to find. CJ Allen looked real good last night for Georgia

If we're talking exclusively 3-down ILBs, Allen (UGA), Weeks (LSU), & Lawson (Bama) are all going to be prime candidates for us.

Finding a vocal, sideline-to-sideline, technically proficient man in the middle is what we need immensely.

Look for the best ILB who has a proven track record of running the defense on the field. High leadership and football IQ marks, good tackler, looks to correct mistakes being made in-play. Needs to be the brains more than the brawn.

Luke was always the brains, TD the enforcer and Shaq the chaser. Worked like a charm. Dan Morgan should know how to build this, but seemingly can't. I think he is easily sold on players by their agents more than what they actually bring to the field. But what do I know?

As for linebacker, this seemed like a huge need only a week ago. However, the big change that defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero made against Miami might have changed the equation.

Instead of relying on Christian Rozeboom as the green dot guy, the Panthers gave play-calling duties to Trevin Wallace. The move appeared to work out well for both, who had their best game of the season.

If Rozeboom and Wallace can continue to play relatively well, that might eliminate the need for a linebacker upgrade.

Naw we need at least 2 high end LBs and another edge.  At least

At this way too early point, i would be very happy with Arvell Reese.  He can blitz from the off ball lb position but OSU also lines him up on the edge to rush the passer and he is very effective.

Yeah he would be a perfect fit

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...

      Canes vs Leafs 7pm

      Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.

      The team store should re-release Dan Morgan's jersey.

      I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
