Thank you. I was looking at NFL.com when it happened and half the falcons fans were happy it happened. Nice to know you're all not a-holes ;)

I hate fans who are like that. They prefer their team to win when the opposing team has few of their good players hurt? Asshole. :mad:

And thanks for the classy post, Mr. White. Good to know there some fans like you that are not the type to wish a player is hurt so his team can win easier.

I'm not exactly going to be Time Magazine 'Man of the Year', but I just hate to see things like that happen. But you know what, Gross has stayed healthy for a long time, something that is quite hard for lineman to pull off. I would imagine he will recover better than most, because most linemen have had that happen to them at least once in their career. Turner and Smith also got dinged up today. I expect so see Smith back next week because he needed no help at all off the field, but Turner being a RB will probably see at least a week or two off.

Not going to get into the game stuff much cuz it probably belongs in another thread, but let's hope Gross didn't sustain an injury that will have any lingering effects. Whenever you see a guy get carted off, you just feel for the guy, and that could be anything from a high ankle sprain (nastier than you might think) to a broken ankle (ironically heals faster than a high ankle sprain sometimes from what I have heard). Granted ankle injuries aren't nice, but when a guy his size dings up a knee, there's a lot worse things that could come from that. Small consolation I'm sure, but hey at least its not an ACL tear or something. Good luck the rest of the way.

      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.
