i dont get it- 4 weeks ago everyone wanted Jake out of the game... Now they have taken him out of the game and everyone is pissed???

pEOPLE need to pick a damn side.....

Taking him OUT of the game is not the same as having him throw less. We want a passing game that can take pressure off Smith and open up the run game even more. If you refuse to switch out Jake (which they do), at least have the balls to use the dude...when needed. And it was needed in the second half last week. There was no way we were holding the Saints to 6 points. We had to score.

How many times did you think he should have thrown in the second half?

the point of taking Jake out was to "put in" another QB. They just took Jake out.....and that was it.

Enough to establish an attack, rather than a sit-and-wait approach. In other words, don't let your defense try and win...do what you can to keep your lead via scoring. Had we traded scores with the Saints, we would've won. Instead, we sat and hoped we could survive the onslaught and come up roses.

Umm... did we watch the same game? Jake did throw the ball down the field, and one of the first times this year he was actually accurate on the deep ball. But in panther fashion everything can't click at the same time this season. On those passes it was the Wright who were off not the qb. So we did take aggressive shots down the field when the chance was given.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
