Morgan got his guy. Perhaps we should all rejoice. 

We can at least fool ourselves into thinking that Morgan told Tepper--who we all know wanted Johnson--to effectively "put a sock in it."

In Morgan we trust, until proven otherwise.

I've done the "convince myself to get on board" thing too many times already.

I'm burnt out on it 😕

You shined Scott Fitterer's shoes more than anyone else in the Carolinas. There's no reason you can't be at least optimistic we didn't hire a retread.

As always Tepper and his wife are the wildcard here. No argument.

Nah, I just said he needed more time. Of course, that went out the window when Frank Reich was fired.

But as always, I know it's easier for you to argue against your misrepresentations of my positions than my actual positions.

I think that we'll hear plenty of optimism---optimism that seems delusional---about Bryce Young and how much Canales loves and believes I him (and how Morgan loves and believes in Young as well at his presser).  

Playing Devil's advocate, should he come in and say something like?...... "this whole oraganization totally blows! The owner is an egotistical jackass, and the starting QB is a noodle armed munchkin"

Good luck to the guy, he's started out the job as the captain of a ship that's three feet below the functional water line. He's got a helluva job ahead of him with limited resources, a potentially meddling ownership and a fanbase that has been bitten twice already.

It's going to have to see what he can turn out there before I'm able to really get behind this. But hey, surprise me man. 

Once upon a time I was like who's John Fox? And this guy Delhomme? He's a nothing burger, why did we grab him?

Sure would be nice to go on a wild ride like that all over again.

My big concern here Is that what everybody knew we needed was a guy who could/would tell David Tepper to butt out of this hiring decisions.

Canales is arguably the guy with the least leverage of any candidate to do that.

Fair, but I’m at least a little optimistic that Tepper is listening to Dan Morgan. Morgan has the extensive relationship with Canales.

I think you need a middle ground option between love it and indifferent.

I like the hire and I feel optimistic and think he can do good things here if Morgan is the right guy and the Tepper's can quit meddling so much. I'm glad we went this route instead of a retread. That's my main takeaway.

This is me as well.  He wasn't my top choice, but I am definitely intrigued.  I wanted a younger offensive guy that wasn't a rethread so he checks those boxes.  Spending over a decade under Pete Carroll is a nice box to check as well.

Brother all we gave him was time and each time we were worse off for it. All his wheeling and dealing only amounted to the darkest days in the history of our franchise.

If you gave him the benefit of the doubt and tons of rope there's no reason to not at least give Canales a season to show us something.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
