So they were talking about Thomas a bunch on WFNZ today.  They reiterated that he has looked uncoverable the last couple days.  Supposedly they were bringing him along slowly with that knee that kept him out of OTA’s.  But he is 100% and looks to fit the bill to replace Olsen at some point.  They were talking about him dominating in the Red zone and the option of 2 TE sets to help the line.  

So nice to hear.  Hell of a value out of the 4th round

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!

 

I'm thinking DJ Moore is the type of player who's physical style won't show out in Camp. Samuel is fast and in shorts, where he doesn't have to get down and dirty, he is going to show out. Moore is the best receiver to grace a Panthers uniform since Steve Smith. Samuel is clearly number 2/3 depending on the situation with Wright.

We have been begging for a throwback to the Olsen/Shockey amazing season and we finally have it.

No need to want Thomas to be TE1...yet. He’s fine as Olsen’s sidekick and does what a  youngTE2 is supposed to do. 

Another year under his belt and the tutelage of a future HOF tight end is just what we had all hoped for from a 4th round pick. 

Im stoked!

Samuel a 2 or 3?

While I think Moore is a beast, so is Samuel.  I can easily see Moore and Samuel having similar numbers by years end.  Rivera has already said we won't have a defined #1

This Duo is going to open up the box for sure.  No way they stack the box with Moore and Samuel on the field.

I believe the best O lineup includes Thomas. That lineup would put heavy pressure on safetys along with opening plays for CMC and the WRs. Thomas is willing blocker too, just like olsen. All 5 got good hands too, dang am I sanjay??!??!?!?!

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
