Dan Morgan is an awful GM

Seriously, it’s his first year at GM, what has he done wrong

Johnson trade and the Burns trades needed to happen and we just didn’t have any leverage. We got $61m in dead cap that he inherited. 
 

So let’s hear it?

Going into the season with Young and Dalton...he brings in Plummer?

Who could possibly see that failing. lol

Yeah, all of Morgan's draft picks have been horrible, thats why they are all contributing...

We have the worst roster in the NFL….dudes are on the field because we don’t have anyone.  They wouldn’t be contributing on a good roster right now

None of us are privy to the inner workings of this team

Which also means we don't know what his opinions were on any of those decisions.

I'm not high on what I've seen from Morgan so far, but it isn't fair to blame him for actions taken when he didn't have final say.

Mind you, the decisions we've seen him make since he did get final say haven't impressed me.

It's still way early, though.

Except we do know.

1) Signed 2 high profile guards to big contracts. Did we need guards? Yes. But there's a reason you draft guards and pay tackles. It's easier to find solid guards in the draft. Now we have the most expensive line in the league and still can't get 100 yards passing before halftime. 

2) Traded up to get a RB when we didn't really need one. Chuba is one of the better RBs in the league right now and while it is a contract year, we had a crap ton of holes all over. Brooks was a luxury pick we didn't have the luxury to make.

3)Spending a small fortune to build a supporting cast for BY. Bryce didn't even put the work in himself during the offseason by his own admission. We didn't need to build an offense specifically for BY. We brought in DJ and drafted XL. These guys need a QB with a live arm. That's not BY. Speed kills but not when your QB can't legitimately make an accurate, deep ball strike without putting a ton of air under it and floating it. 

4. Not looking for a true center. There were several available and it's been a position of need for years. We could have had our choice but we rolled with Corbitt, who did look good at the spot, but had an injury bug that struck again this year. 

5) He didn't bring in any serious competition for Bryce. Now you can say that BY needs time to develop and we needed to show we had faith in him, blah blah blah. But the simple matter of fact is Bryce looked like a PS QB last year, Andy has one foot in the QB grave, and there was never an attempt to actually compete for the job. If he genuinely believed that BY was going to magically make it all come together watching YT and chillin for 4 months to unplug, then there's nothing else that needs to be said. 

The goal of every GM should be to build a winning team. Players are commodities and loyalty leads you to an early walk out the door. We've tried to build a system to work around the most limited QB in NFL history. 60 years of history should have told him it was never going to work. And benching BY after 2 games is the real truth, he never should have been starting anyway. And either Dan should have known that as the great MLB that he was after watching BY's game tape, or someone else is making the call and Dan is just rubberstamping that decision. 

Either way, doesn't matter. We're screwed because we've devoted 2 years of resources to build around a player that didn't put in the work in the off season after one of the worst NFL QB seasons ever. 

All of this analysis is valid.

No we don't.

Any notion that he opposed every bad decision is highly unlikely.

The idea that he simply rubber stamped everything isn't realistic either.

The tales in the above post, though? Those represent valid and accurate critique.

3 of the top blunders of this organization since he has been a part

1. bryce young trade and selection.  He said his damn self Bryce was his guy and it was reported he evaluated him over stroud.  Also do you really think Tepper would hire him if he was against the selection?

 

2. Brian burns.  Person reported from 3 sources he didnt want to trade Burns and the guy that did was fired

 

3, Trade up for DJ Johnson, morgan is on fuging tape saying he agreed with it.

Frank Reich said Bryce was his guy too. Was he?

Every guy we draft is the guy we targeted; every free agent is the guy we really wanted, etc. etc.
