I wouldn't be mad at this. For everyone who doesn't like him as a person, remember Roman Harper? He took shots at Steve Smith as a Saints player but he played pretty well for us. I don't hate anybody that can make the Panthers better. Besides, I think we need something different to Chubba, he is mostly ground and pound but we need someone with more wiggle and explosive.

Remember the days when Rhule said said his arms were too short to play LT? Ah the buffoon that Rhule was.

Dan is adding first round talent to this team! Phillips, Lloyd, and even Pickett were all first rounders. We're not so devoid of talent now. Have a good draft this year and our foundation can be in place for the next 5 years. Canales and Evero have no excuses for next year. I EXPECT playoffs for next year.

It makes logical sense but BC has had an injury history too. I think he's had 2 season ending injuries during his tenure here.

Dan the Man has a plan! Since Dan has taken over, he has been aggressive in tackling each team's weakness every offseason. O-line year one, D-line year 2, Pass rush year 3.

If we're converting him to TE, he needs to be working with Shannon Sharpe and not Chad Ochocinco then! lol

I'm not 100% convinced with this, for example he drafted XL based on athletic traits. XL only had one year of production at USC. I'll at least give him credit for drafting T-Mac based on production. Overall, Morgan has drafted more contributors to this team during his tenure than Fitterer. I remain hopeful he'll continue to upgrade the roster.

Looks like Dan Morgan does know what he is doing!!!

I'm usually a nerd when it comes to the draft, however I haven't paid any attention to this year's draft class. My general sense is that it's a weak class? There aren't any blue chip prospects or generational talents it seems like.

I think Darnold and Baker are great examples that's it's more than just the player. The Panthers organization during their tenures here was absolute trash. Both of these guys took 4-5 years to develop, bounce to multiple teams, and finally be placed in a great scenario for them to succeed. Structure and organization is more important than the player some times. Look what Patriots did this year, their roster was devoid of talent last year but you find the right coaching organization, add a few players in free agency and they are in the Super Bowl. These examples make me feel like we need to give Bryce more time to prove himself. If we let Bryce walk and he succeeds else where like Darnold and Baker, then it's the organization's fault and we can have Mahomes as our QB and it wouldn't even matter.

This is the biggest issue with drafting athletes vs actual football players. The NFL combine has just exploded in media attention and popularity so everyone is hyped on a players traits. Who cares how big you are or how fast you run if you don't have the ball in your hands. Anthony Richardson is the perfect example of this.

I remember watching Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco's YouTube podcast and Chad literally invited XL to come work out with him for 1 month. I think XL should take him up on that offer, his career depends on it.

I'm staring to do research on the off ball linebacker class this year because I think we need a captain of the defense like the Luke days. Sonny Styles, Anthony Hill, CJ Allen are some names to keep an eye on. These guys seem to have the same traits of being instinctive, playmakers, and solid tacklers like Luke.

These stats don't mean anything. It doesn't correlate to winning the actual football game at all. Bryce played better than Caleb Williams according to stats but Willams won. Jordan Love played better than Bryce but lost. Everyone is so focused that one player makes the whole team. Yes the QB is the most important position, but there are 21 other guys who influence the game too.
