"Look at what your biggest need, do they fit that need, and do they fit the team need?"

Also, when Marty and Ron both talk about draft prospects, they always mention Patrick Peterson and Marcel Dareus specifically. Never Cam. Makes me think they are holding Cam under the radar, but who knows.

I'm excited about Ron as the new coach.

They could be the same thing but Riveria mentioned postional need several times which would be QB given most other needs are easier addressed in FA.Having said that he is not going to tip his hat.I do not think a final decision has been reached.He protected Clausen as he should but my feeling is Jimmy is not his guy.

In a nut shell I think everyone agrees QB is our biggest positional need but do we want to bet our jobs(Riveria and Hurney) that Newton or Gabbert have the intangibles it takes to develope and take us to the promise land.That is a tough decision when all the physcial attributes are there.If we do not have the warm and fuzzy with either qb then what?Darius,PP,or Green? This is the scenerio.

Hurney also stated how QB is our biggest need this offseason as well I think they're on the same page.

no matter how they say it, the choices are obvious...

offense = cam newton

defense = marcell dareus

there were times where the player drafted was NEVER discussed or considered.

I think you are wishing if you think that Gabbert is still not in the mix at

QB. Not saying that he is. But to assume that Cam is the only one is naive.

    • The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman. 
    • And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!
    • If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
