He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan. 

So you just gonna skip him picking up Rico and making this defense so much better with the FA signings huh? GM is only responsible for drafting rookies huh? lol.

I need to see more cuz that first draft was pretty terrible. This one is looking much better though

Was it? Much like the 2025 Draft, I think we're too soon to judge:

  • Xavier Legette - 500 yards and 5 TDs so far
  • Jonathan Brooks - very unfortunate to re-tear his ACL
  • Trevin Wallace - started 8 games last year and 6 this year (and has the headset on D)
  • Ja'Tavion Sanders - 500 yards and a TD so far
  • Chau Smith-Wade - 2 INTs (and a TD), played in 14 games last year and 5 this (injured for the other 1)
  • Jaden Crumedy🤷‍♂️
  • Michael Barrett - traded for Mike Jackson

That class is showing signs of life.

Unless you're the Patriots and have players taking a paycut to play with Brady you kinda need to build through the Draft.

Too early to say one way or the other. He's shown some ability to find FA gems but his drafting needed some help. It appears Tillis and the PFF nerds helped him find some value in the 2025 draft. The 2024 draft class has some time to redeem themselves but it's looking weak so far.

let him cook

 

 

fixed OL, fixed DL

 

let him continue to cook

Im not sold still but he has looked better the past couple weeks.  He fixed the ol and DL by making them the highest paid in the NFL.  You can't do that with everywhere.   I want to see some position groups totally fixed over a few drafts.

We're currently paying the suck tax.

It’s not unreasonable to say Chuba would have also done well against what are probably going to end the year as the worst defenses in the league when all is said and done. Hell in Miami players are apparently skipping players meetings 

rico runs hard but picking up a backup rb in the nfl is not a difficult task. Nor is singing the top two offensive linemen

Also worth noting right now that Morgan has a QB on a rookie contract. Its going to get a lot harder at the end of the season when we have to either re-sign Bryce in the 40-50AAV range or look to FA/draft for a new QB.

Im still not a fan of how he's built this offensive line. Draft guards and centers, pay tackles. It's a rule for a reason. RBs can be found in FA. Put them behind a good offensive line and watch them eat. 

We played a Dallas team without their elite WR and they took us to the brink. This team is showing life and playing better and thats a good thing. Dan has also been here with Fittershits too and contributed in how much to putting us in the predicament we're in. This year's draft is showing lots of promise. Credit where it's due. But I'm nowhere near crowning him a top GM yet.

Top 3 QB play from a free agent apparently costs 14 million this season

Or we could pick up his fifth year option for $26,526,000.00 overthecap.

    • You're right. And he's been on the upswing, something that's been a long time coming. And over the last few years, we woulda been better with a Trent Dilfer out there considering everything.  But right now, we got a W following a W the week before. It has been a while since we've been there. And we're at .500. I know that's only a C grade right now, but man, after so many F grades in a row... it's kinda refreshing to be here. Is Bryce a long term answer here? He's still got a long way to go. Could he do it? Those three touchdown passes he made were bang on, high performance throws. And they finally game planned him pushing the ball down field. It was against a weak Dallas defense, but at least they were running a game based on attacking weaknesses of the defense rather than covering the weaknesses of our own team. Maybe both Canales and Young are maturing before our eyes.
    • No, he got beat at home by Michigan this year.  The other five wins are against Big Ten and Non-Power bottom feeders.  He's 0-7 vs ranked teams, and each year Nebraska has started strong and then faded in conference play.  Nebraska is 1-7 in two Novembers under Rhule.  This year their November slate is USC, @UCLA, @Penn State and Iowa.  Very possible they lose all of those games.  His tenure at Nebraska is looking very Baylor-esque.  And somehow he's still a front runner for the Penn State job.  Which would be ironic since they just ran a very Matt Rhule like (as far as can't beat any good teams) James Franklin out of town. 
    • GWDs vs... HOU: 15 - 13, no turnovers ATL: 9 - 7, no turnovers NO: 23 - 22, 1 interception NYG: 20 - 17, no turnovers ARI: 36 - 30, no turnovers @ATL: 44 - 38, no turnovers MIA: 27 - 24, 1 interception + 1 fumble DAL: 30 - 27, 1 interception (that was clearly TMac's fault) Which one of those games was Bryce clearly the reason that the team was behind aside from Miami?
