Panthers TE Chris Manhertz (foot) will be sidelined for at least the start of training camp.

Manhertz missed most of minicamp with a left foot injury. It's an opportunity for fourth-round TE Ian Thomas to do some depth-chart jumping, though Manhertz is still expected to open the year behind Greg Olsen. Manhertz is an active/PUP list candidate, but his Week 1 status isn't in doubt.

Manhertz will always be a disappointment. Hopefully Thomas will step up. 

Honestly, I don't even call him a disappointment. He was a small school basketball player. He'd never even played football until he got to the NFL. He was a hail mary of a long shot at absolute best.

We aren't talking about a Pro Bowl tight end.  He was promoted mostly because Dickson left.  Thomas, from what I have heard, is a good blocking TE and could easily fill the role Manhertz has.   As he gains more experience and gets more comfortable with the offense.  I can easily see him being targeted a couple of times a game.  

I hope he heals quickly and gets back in time but his days are numbered as the #2 TE anyhow.   Thomas will eventually take that role.   Might as well get him as many reps with the #1s now.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      yeah, I can get a little of that.  But that's not what he is posting in his argument just now though.   He said people wouldn't even concede to the literal ability to do it when pressed on the literal ability.  I have never seen that.  He maintains it exists somewhere.  I mean, using anomaly games to make arguments about players just isn't the way.   There wasn't a defender within 10 yards of our guys on 2 of those 3 throws Sunday.  No one within 5 on the 3rd.   That's not Bryce Young answering questions about his play downfield..  That's Bryce Young taking advantage of coverage busts by a bad D.  Which hey, that's part of the game too.  Recognition and seeing the field.   It can't totally be dismissed.   That's still good play.  You want your QBs to make those plays.  But it's not getting into the long standing critique of BY IMO.

      Adam Thielen on Young

      Deserved, I wouldn’t use that word. Asked for? For sure. Am I upset over it? No.  People forget that AT was throwing his helmet in frustration last season over his QB’s ineptitude. The same QB was pretty inept to start this year, no guarantee AT would have helped him in those games any more than he did last year.  Just sayin.  And Dan doing him a solid probably did not go unnoticed by players around the league. I think it increases his rep with potential FAs. It sure can’t hurt it.

      You think that was the fault of the guy that was lighting it up or maybe the bums around him? Funnily enough, those bums are still being bums in his absence. Who would have thought!
