Dammit!

Dont let Mitchell leave. We made a mistake before by letting Marlon McCree go. Dont do the same with Mitchell.

Im fine with letting Ginn go. Hes a no3, not a no2.

Just for speculation only, Calvin Pryor in the 1st now if Mitchell aint retain?

You're fine with letting our best return man since Smith did it go? And at this point we don't even have a #1 so #3 is fine

Let's say Person knows something--anyone can say on a Saturday that it is not looking good by Tuesday when they have had the entire offseason to sign these guys.  However, I will play along.

 

Gross leaving may have impacted these decisions.  Finding a LT is more important that a S and a one-trick pony WR. 

 

Mitchell and Ginn agreed to one-year deal to showcase their talents hoping to get a good deal.  We didn't commit to them for more than that year, so there is no reason to expect loyalty to us.

 

Let's look at the positives--Mitchell was a bit of a loose-cannon, one-dimensional safety and we can find another.  His value is escalated because he was a surprise starter who performed well enough to start.  He was not a star.  Nor was Ginn.

 

If we do not re-sign Ginn, it could alter our first round pick choice.  Maybe Beckham Jr over Jordan Matthews, for example.

Someone else can do Ginn's job on ST. You dont overpay for him just bc hes a fine returner, but average WR.

The dude was arguably our best receiver last year... Did you even watch? His deep threat was underutilized because of our offensive scheme but it allowed smitty and Olsen to get open many times.

Yeah cause we have such a huge talented crop of receivers right now. We can afford to be picky.

You rather use that money that youre going to give Ginn for a relaible wr: Tate or Roberts.

Ive never said we were good at WR. But, Ginn is def not going to solve the answer. Im sure a lot of wr on the street can match Ginn's 500 yd season in 2014 if thats what youre worry about.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
