Manhertz over Thomas?

[Smithers]

Only surprise I see is TE.  But again, Brady’s offense doesnt use pass catching tight ends 

[WarPanthers89]

Very interesting to see Manhertz over Thomas. This makes me think they didn’t see the jump that they wanted, and will use this to potentially motivate him to step up or step aside. 

[Waldo]

Good for Daley. Can't wait to see what he looks like as a LG.

Manhertz lol just lol. 

Can't wait to see how this D plays. Would like to see Chinn over any of the guys he is behind but whatever, if he is that good he should push for playing time.

[NCBlu]

Chinn at OLB - Franklin at SS was thinking that was the other way around was so looking forward to a big SS with good speed.

I agree. Daley at LG is the story here.

Get the feeling this is because they did not have a box for them.

[LinvilleGorge]

I hope Manhertz > Thomas is temporary as Thomas recovers from that toe injury. Otherwise, hell just run an extra OT out there.

[WarHeel]

Haven’t been this excited for the defense since 2013. I’m expecting growing pains but hope it all comes together.

Thomas is this season’s hyped up man by Panthers fans like Curtis, LaFell, Bersin, Obada, Matt Moore, etc. 

Manhertz has 6 catches for 90 yards in 4 seasons and he blocks like this

Ian hasn’t done poo too.

Not much, but significantly more than Manhertz. He has over 5x the receiving yardage in half the seasons.

Playing backup to a HOF worthy TE who when healthy never left the field.
