If Thielen’s mentorship leads to XL being a reliable pass catcher, it will be worth every penny of his contract. Ask yourself this, who else is going to help him? It’s a crowded room and every WR is fighting for play time. They don’t play this game for funsies. There is serious $ on the line for these dudes. They can’t afford to be buried on the roster come contract #2 time. This is their shot. I’m not saying the intentions are nefarious, but there is contract money riding on play time for these dudes. Coker has #2 square is his sights. better believe that. Why would he help XL? Would you? Moore? Nah. JAG. Horn knows he’s a fringe WR. He used to hustle neighborhood kids in to racing growing up. I don’t see him being the helping kind. Hunter? He’ going to be too busy battling Coker for the #3 spot. There is literally no better person for the mentor role for XL than Thielen. -
but...isn't that sort of highlighting WHY we are moaning about AT? Right now our primary weapon (based on offensive reps, targets, etc) is an old slow WR who we overpay that doesn't really get open nor do anything with the ball in his hands. and we are at the bottom in spending in terms of pass catchers. Maybe the front office shouldn't of arranged the roster so that it is only .....AT (debating retirement) and cast of unproven hopefuls youngsters. I mean, the AT complaint is really not about AT. It's about the front office. -
I'm encouraged and confident the Panthers won't be the worst team in the NFL next year.
