Let's hope that carries over to the regular season because it's likely he'll end up #1 on the depth chart at some point in the season.

Indeed, and even if 88 stays healthy throughout this upcoming season, it's only a matter of time before he's #1 on the depth chart moving forward.

Really? How so? If Olsen is healthy, you don't take him off the field for Thomas.

I assume he meant future seasons, not necessarily this season.   Basically Thomas might be a long term replacement for Olsen.   

^ ^ Yep, he's being groomed behind Olsen, just like Shaq had been behind TD for the past several seasons.

Kid looks like a natural, am expecting him to be #1 when Olsen goes down with another injury this year. 

Oh yeah, he’s a much better blocker

I certainly hope Olsen doesn't get injured in his last season as a pro.

But, I agree with you. Thomas is a much better blocker and is more athletic after the catch. Though he made more than his share of rookie mistakes last season.

Olsen does have that vet savvy and great hands. Love #88 but not worried about the position once he moves on.

If we can just 

1. Stay healthy, especially Cam

2. And the OL can just hold up for a few seconds

 

This offense is going to be special

 

Cam having Moore, Samuel, Olsen, Thomas, and CMC out there!

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
