Morgan wanted to keep Burns and not deal him to the Rams for multiple first round picks.  Guys like Dan Morgan are why we are where we are today. 

Morgan was part of a group led by a bad GM (that we didn't  realize was so bad at the time) that thought it was a good idea at the time based on what they thought we were capable of.

You ever have those moments where something seems like a good idea at the time and then, after you step in it, you realize that it was a dog poo decision? That's how you learn. You step in poo and decide that is something you don't want to do again.

But after you step in dog poo and realize you should do what it takes to avoid it, you still have to deal with the poo already on your shoe. That might mean getting up close and personal with it and scraping it off. It stinks, and it's nasty and it's something  you really feel disgusted doing, but you do it anyways because it has to be done.

That's what we did yesterday, not that burns is dog poo. The situation was. It sucked that we had to do it because we stepped in it, but it had to be done and now we hope we've learned a we move forward.

I do think Morgan wanted to keep Burns at the time. Person reported that.  

 

But it was vastly different circumstances; we were still holding on to hope that we were a good team and didn't need a complete tear down.

They felt 27 million a year was going to get it done.  They, meaning the ones that actually do the contracts.  That's not Morgan, and it wasn't Fitt.

The trade to the Giants proves this wrong. 

I mean, you could essentially do those gymnastics with Fitterer, Tepper, etc too. 

Reporting from the longest-tenured beat writer said who did and didn't want to trade Burns to the Rams.   Fitterer and Morgan didn't have a realistic plan once they decided to keep Burns and not deal him to the Rams.  And that blew up on them.  They wanted to keep him and not pay him insane money.   Which didn't work.  And was really foolish once Burns had the leverage of what the Rams offered.

27 million a year wasn't going to get it done.  Didn't matter where he was at.

Person said it in the Athletic.  Only Samir wanted to trade for the picks.

 

But like I said, the circumstances at the time were very different.

none of that matters, they didnt want to do the trade regardless of whatever salary they were offering or what he wanted

 

You are right.  They didn't.    It was clearly foolish in hindsight.   The team thought they were in a better position long term than they were.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
