Now comes where Morgan needs to earn his paycheck.

This is one of my big sources of entertainment. And I have been entertained. 

Me too.  If you consider the recent upswing in GM and coaching performance and even ownership performance, it does feel like a return to something close to the good ol days isn't unimaginable.

Third Down: The Panthers Buy a Window
The Carolina Panthers won the NFC South last season, and general manager Dan Morgan seems to have looked around peering at all of the mediocrity the division has to offer and realized he could prop open a legitimate window for the next several seasons

Carolina’s adds on defense may make the most transformative impact, but Metchie is a sleeper to watch

While Phillips only produced five sacks last season, there is optimism in Carolina that because Ejiro Evero plays a similar scheme to Philadelphia’s Vic Fangio, that the Panthers can not only convert some of Phillips’ 73 pressures into sacks but also that those pressures will create opportunities for Brown and Nic Scourton, who posted five last season.

Lloyd imports an attitude and elite nose for the football to a defense that needed both.

these moves have the potential not just to launch Carolina up those rankings in 2026 but solidify this as the team to beat not just in the South but to be respected as a postseason contender in the years ahead.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
