Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

[Jon Snow]

My number one takeaway from this interview is that Dan is in no hurry to extend Bryce.

That’s the feeling I got as well, which is smart. Let the season play out first.

Some of yall will never be happy unless what,  something like this?

"Yeah good question Rich. Bryce sucks.  Small hands,  limited arm strength.  Shorter than my neighbors kid.  No manhood if you know what I mean.  Won't lift for some reason.  I'm going to go ahead and tip my hand.  We're looking at free agents or an answer in the 1st next year."

Actually, don't care if it's Bryce or anyone else. Not taking addressing our QB room seriously the past 2 off seasons is inexcusable. We should have done it last year after Dalton cratered. We didn't. This year, well we have KP and Grier and our Taysom Hill. I want better from our QB room. Getting 200 yards a game should be the floor, not a ceiling.

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.

 

 

I bet they are all 5'7 and shorter

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 

I honestly believe we'd win more with Kenny.

He is about my size. Before I got old and fat. I don’t know about a 5’7” person but I am not rooting for him just because of that.

If he hadn’t set us back so far and led us to the number one pick that we no longer had, and all that stuff I would find it easier to be in his corner. Like day two pick, I’d root for him. But he’s probably already be gone or the backup to the next guy we drafted/signed. 

 I’ll hand it to him for having the nerve to get out there but It hampers his game.  He can’t see, trying to compensate affects his mechanics and how he plays. 
I am so over these rollouts to the right all the time.

I was just joking about the 5'7 . He is tough as poo I'll give him that. At this point honestly even if he had a great season with his history I'd just franchise him after his 5th Year if needed (which I strongly doubt). The cost has been sunk your right about that. The simple fact that he's in the UDFA territory as our starter will be the downfall of some great talent if they allow it to continue imo.

You're assuming there was a brilliant tactical move available in free agency or the draft that he passed on.  Who if so?   Is it possible his plan, since becoming GM, was to address the position after this season?

Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho

Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year. 

When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.  
There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category. 
And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight. 
 

And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that.

If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too. 

So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
