this one is gold:

 

 

Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.

 

 

[Captain Morgan]

summary:

"let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling"

Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling

"he does what for your offense?"

Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible.

"how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you."

Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible.

"Hunter and Brazzell."

Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard.

"you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. "

Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both

"plan on extending Bryce"

we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year.

"he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel"

Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time.

"if this a prove it situation?"

everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it.

Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate.

"your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026

"our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that."

"schedule"

we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some

"

I mean....no lies detected.

See above.

We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever. 

 

[Candler Cat]

Just hope Morgan is being diplomatic about it knowing he has to roll with him this year

It may just be GM speak or whatever but how the fug dont you have an answer by now if he needs an ext.  What is "discussing it internally" even doing?    You are either going to give him one before the season starts or simply let it ride until the end of 26

He’s pretty clearly referring to the timing of if/when there is an extension for him, he wasn’t talking about the finish to the season. It’s pretty consistent with what he’s said on every other show when he’s been asked about the extension, he’s not going to commit to anything yet. 

[RJK]

I wish there was a way to play this season with Bryce and do it again with Pickett because I bet there wouldn’t be a big difference 

[strato]

An opened up playbook would either kill that extension or justify it.  Let’s do it.

Dan Morgan is a very boring interview, he’s excellent at saying nothing.
