On free agency and the locker room:

 

- Still uses free agency to set up the team to be able to take best available player in the draft. Feels we are "darn close" to being able to do that.

- Not every guy can be a probowl player but you have to understand each player's niche and how that helps the team get better.

- Feels it is important to send a message to the locker room that if you play well and do the right things, we will take care of you (says this in reference to Greg Olsen's new deal).

- Says that last year when we were 3-8-1 if the locker room was toxic, we would have finished at 3-12-1. But we have a strong locker room that believes in Rivera and in what we do.

 

On Michael Oher:

 

- Not a good fit in Tennessee

- Oher has a great relationship with John Matzko and loves how he teaches techniques of the position

- Went back and watched 3 years of film on him and felt that coaching changes were an issue in his play along with injuries.

- Feels like there are two types of guys on your team when you win a Superbowl: Guys you win because of and guys you win in spite of. Really felt Oher was a guy the Ravens won because of (and he was playing left tackle during regular season).

- Feels very good about the signing and having him projected to start.

 

On Jonathan Stewart and running back depth:

 

- Feels Stewart really finished the season strong

- First time in 3 offseasons that Stewart hasn't had to have a surgery of any type.

- Really likes Fozzy. Loves his 3rd down abilities and credits his running ability as well.

- Understands depth is an issue but says it will be addressed in the draft (so we know we are targeting a RB at some point).

Solid, wish I could've listened. The thing I love most about this team is they truly keep pounding and fighting no matter what our record is or how bad things are going. No other team in the league would've finished the way we did if they were at 3-8-1 with 2 months without a win and many blowout losses.

The season is too far away to start getting me amped up.

hearing him talk about Oher gets me excited. i really hope he bounces back here. 

 

no doubt our coaching staff and locker room is strong, look at how hampered we've been the past few years and how we've managed to compete despite it. we've been winning the South with one hand tied behind our back and standing toe to toe with Seattle and other top teams. the determination is here and the winning culture, never say die attitude is here, wait til this team gets unleashed in the next few years.

Oher played right in Super Bowl.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By frankw · Posted

      Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.

      He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
