Cam Newton Stamps His Approval on Dan Morgan

The Carolina great approves of the new general manager.

On the most recent 4th and One podcast, Cam Newton dished his take on the hiring of Dan Morgan as the Panthers' general manager. Overall, the former Panthers' quarterback seemed in favor of the hire. Newton is impressed with Morgan's background with successful franchises, and appreciates his ties to the city of Charlotte.

Morgan preached in his introductory press conference that former Carolina greats are welcome back in the building whenever they please. "...you guys are the best. Doors are always open. You guys are family and we're going to make it a family environment. That's the kind of environment that me and Dave want to create around here, so you guys are family."

Newton has had a mercurial relationship with the organization since his initial departure in 2020, but Panthers' fans would be elated if 'Ace Boogie' spent more time with the franchise he took to the Super Bowl in 2015-16.

Newton's full quotes on Dan Morgan can be found below.

“He knows the city. He knows what the culture is. He went to the Super Bowl, with that 2003 team. He has some type of tenure in understanding what the fans’ expectations are. He’s been around, right? Buffalo, Seattle many franchises that he’s able to pluck and pull, ‘okay I want to implement these types of things.’ He knows the right way to do things. He’s been around some successful organizations. Even with him, it goes to show, what is going to be the focus? They have to identify what that is. If we want to stop the run? Okay cool, to stop the run you’ve got to invest in the front seven. We want to stop the pass? Focus on the secondary. It’s evident going into the draft, the offseason, what the focus is. I think curating what the focus is, for the team identity, is essential.”
