I really want to like this signing, its just hard to like anything this FO is doing this year. 

I'd like the additions of Okung and Anderson if we still had Cam. But, Okung is a bandaid just like Teddy and Anderson's primary strength is stretching the field and we already have two guys who can do that and a QB who is a below average at best deep thrower.

I can't get behind that 100%, I wish Cam was here as much as anyone, but in MIN his first two years they weren't really the stock of the league at receiver, Cordarell Patterson, Thielien (before he made a name for himself in 2017), Charles Johsnon, and , Jrariyus Wright,  rookie Diggs, and old Greg Jennings & Mike Wallace. They also ran a WCO in the passing game if memory serves.

Not to mention that was an Adrian Peterson HEAVY offense, I will reserve some judgement until I see him in this offense. 

We needed a guy like Anderson as that opens up 1) the run game and keeps teams from stacking the box vs CMC, and 2) it opens up the short to intermediate routes our offense will likely feature. TB ''Two Gloves'' wasn't a bust as a first rounder he suffered a crazy knee injury. Even as NO's signal caller, they don't really feature a deep passing game, they take shots like anyone else but that isn't the basis. It's more about getting the ball out, keeping the QB upright, working the mismatch and YAC. 

Teddy was a 1st round talent, and has the arm to connect deep with, this isn't a UDFA that guys here were anointing after 4 games. Teddy actually has legit seasons worth of tape to review if you go back, and take the time to see what he offers.

Also watching Anderson last year, I think he has added a lot more to his game than just a deep threat. He really looks like a complete receiver last year.

He has been type cast a bit, I think people forget a guy like Ginn and how his speed led to soft coverage that allowed him to run routes like the short post, deep comebacks on the perimeter, and simple crossing patterns. There was 0 supporting cast in NY, Moore is a legit 1K threat, and Samuel would have pushed that if Allen wasn't consistently under-throwing him. 

Losing Cam is like getting d*** kicked on the daily, but damn if we don't have a nice cast at receiver, and obviously with CMC at HB. There's real reason to be excited about the offense. I can't wait to see how the draft pulls it all together, plus the late FA additions.

Please all you cam huggers just stop crying. Cam for the most part was our offense weapon and shame on the coaches for not surrounding him with talent while he was here but even at his best he still was not a great passer of the football. Those coaches are gone and so is cam ,move on. Offense is going to be good next season as a life long panther fan I am excited about this offense after watching Stale offense for as long as I can remember.

Kyle Allen threw for more yards and Tds than Teddy ever did in his 2 seasons as a starter. Teddy was barely hitting the 3k passing mark, I mean in his 2nd season he only threw for 2900 yards lol. And he has never thrown over 14 TDs in a single season. We know what Teddy is. We've seen it. Expecting someone to transform into something they have not done or shown they can do on a consistent basis isnt exactly a recipie for success. Even in his 5 starts with the Saints last year it was more of the same that he did in Minnesota. Not saying it's a bad thing but Teddy is definitely a game manager style Qb who likely will never be a great/consistent deep thrower and likely isnt going to be a Qb that can put the team on his back and carry them across the finish line when they need him too

    • Calling carrier for getting punched in the nose just to keep us from a 5 on 3
    • I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty
    • And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
