The routes we have him running are not Olsen routes. If you notice he does a lot of across the face of the LB/S's. We have him running routes across the field utilizing his athleticism. 

I am curious to see if IT is able to identify and settle in zones, and how he operates up the seam with awareness of the gap between safety and LB.

 

Also, Greg has the ability to play in slot and out wide. So much to see if the rook can do it.

Ian has definitely impressed, but he is still a long way from Olsen. #88 is one of the best in the game. 

That being said, I am a whole lot less worried about Greg's injury this season that I was a year ago.

Years 1-5. He use to burn LB and secondary members. He even had a 73 yarder against the 49ers where he outran everyone. 

Greg has never been fast. first few years he was here a lot of huddlers bitched about how slow he was. speed has never been his game. his strength is knowing and being able to run all routes and making athletic catches. I remember the 73 yarder. was one of the most ugly yet beautiful runs I've ever see. lol

If Greg goes to IR again, it is Thomas' job to lose.

Also, do you promote Vander Laan from the PS or sign someone else off another team's PS?

I say sign Bucky Hodges from Pittsburgh. We had him here briefly last year, and he's a young guy that hasn't yet lived up to his potential. He looked pretty decent in our preseason game vs. Pittsburgh.

He can’t

olson is an all pro, maybe best TE in the league

Thomas is a rookie...a very good rookie...still ridiculous to expect him to be at Greg’s level

 

 

Naaah. Greg has lost a step anyways. I was surprised he even had a catch yesterday.

I mean, he's still elite. But I don't mind Thomas getting his PT now, if and when Greg is able to return.

      yeah, but the actual jersey Bryce Young is wearing is not the same jersey you are buying from Fanatics.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
