Panthers claim tight end Temarrick Hemingway


Recommended Posts

CHARLOTTE -- The Panthers have claimed tight end Temarrick Hemingway, a former sixth-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams back in 2016.

Hemingway, 6-foot-5 and 246 pounds, played in eight games as a rookie. After the Rams released him in 2018, he joined the Broncos' practice squad. Denver later promoted him to the active roster and he played in five games. The Broncos waived the 25-year-old yesterday. He has not yet recorded a catch in a regular season game.

Damn, do we ya think we have enough TE's? Not a single one outside of Olsen, Thomas, and Manhertz will make the team so i dont get why they are so hell bent on signing all these scrub TE's. 

It seems like they’re hoping to find someone better than Manhertz

Yep, that's my take on it. I'm not surprised. Hurney had talked about the depth at TE in this draft class leading up to the draft. It seemed pretty obvious that they were looking at TEs this off-season. Not a huge priority, bit I do think they want to hedge their bets in case Olsen goes down again, plus starting to look at life after Olsen.

Dang, how do I quote this five times? It feels like improving the #4-10 TE is on the top of the list. My best guess is Olsen told them this is his last year no matter what.

I don't believe so, they just signed him to one of the richest #3 TE contracts in the league. I don't see it since the guarantees are high and they all the space with kalils' 10 cap hit in 2020.

They should ask Vikings what they want for Rudolph instead of bringing in these JAGs

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
