Dan Morgan

On another forum...which I was an active participant in for years ( for several reasons, I no longer post there.  I occasionally lurk to see what they are saying)...Dan is getting roasted.  Their last talking point is 
the Johnson trade.

Not sure who this group this but that trade was a complete waste. Too many times looking for a Wr to make a trade to maybe might move you up a net ten places, heck the ravens could win it all and we have the worst record and I gain one slot. It was a poor deal and even poorer if we paid part of his salary (not sure about this rumor)..: it wasn’t a bad deal it wa horrible deal. 

I am not there.  I want to see more of what Dan does.  He inherited an awful team and situation.  Many say because he was the asst GM he is just as responsible as Fitterer.  We do not know that, He is approaching things differently.  He told us this would take time. No-one wanted to believe that.


I agree he did inherit a bad team and a bad situation but you have to make moves that reverse that course and Dan simply has not done it. Made stupid moves in the draft, brought in guys who can’t it couldn’t even be back ups, gave away Burns and now this Johnson trade. 

He has to clean up the mess first. He has shown that he is willing to make rational decisions rather than emotional/popular ones.  Burns wanted to be paid more than his  play said he was worth.  Gone.  Donte became a cancer...and was not going to be here next year anyway...gone. (Message sent...we want team players...got to build that culture for young players) 

clean up the mess yes however not continue to add to it or worse yet make it more more obvious that he is going in the wrong direction. 

When you are the worst team in the league...you cannot expect to win anything...games, trades.  He got what he could. Addition by subtraction is a thing.

not about winnin, this year or even next year… it’s about making you football better and by putting your football team in a better position::: he has done neither. 

His first draft was a looking to the future draft.

not sure seem to be too many wastes, too many lives up to get players that most likely would have been available at our normal
positions or even later… plus he didn’t draft best available and that is a major reason we have next to zero depth. 

I will be very interested to see his next draftee

me As well but it really would surpris le me to see someone else. Dan has sucked. 

Tepper has to show some patience with Morgan and Canales.  I want to give them some time too.  I am still believing Dan can build something here.  Building from the ground up does not look pretty but it is important. We need a good foundation.  I think Dan can do it. And my usual...Tepper needs to stay out of the way.

dan is the one responsible for building that foundation. He has yet to lay the first brick.  I hope he lays them soon or Tepper will be right to go in another direction.  And I have never said that.
