I don't mean this to come off wrong, but I'm honestly not educated on this kind of stuff and I'm curious, but...

Is this a good or a bad sign?

Is it good that he's on the list or is it bad in the sense that it means the situation is more urgent and dire for the little guy now and that's the only reason he was just put on the list?

Or maybe it's a bit of both?  

Either way, my thoughts and prayers are with the Olsen family, nothing but an absolute class act from day 1 and will forever be among the all time great Panthers.

Keep Pounding TJ!

From my understanding, getting on the transplant list and transplant priority take into account various factors. Surgery is always the last option since so many complications may arise, but obviously in TJs case it’s the only option.

If he gets the procedure , if he’s lucky it will extend his life another 10ish years. And that’s optimistic

I believe you are significantly underestimating the "extend" time...

Ever heard of Eric Compton?

He got his 1st heart transplant (1992) at age-12 and that one lasted him 16 years...

...he got his 2nd one in 2008 and is still motoring on with that one (29yrs elapsed on 2 hearts, FYI)...

...in case you are unaware, he's in 9th place today at the PGA Tour event in Fort Worth, TX...

...1-back of Sergio Garcia and 9-ahead of  Phil Mickelson!

Hell, The Big Cat is 12+ years into his new heart and he was an elderly and in poor physical condition candidate when he received the transplant...

...TJ Olsen has every chance for a bright future, especially given the connections his family has.

 

Good luck young fella...

Our daughter died when she was 11 months old and her heart went to a boy about her same age in Kentucky. 18 years later we get cards at every one of his birthdays. I will tell you from very close personal experience that in many cases transplants go well and last a long time.

      Surely, since Young is the qb he is, a 3 year NFL starter, a qb with exceptional command of a playoff team, and many of us are just too stupid and blind to recognize, he will have no trouble mopping the floor with anyone from this list of has-beens and never-weres.

      After two seasons, I definitely have strong opinions of his playcalling and even stronger ones on his game coaching abilities.  Isolating AT as logic for BY success doesn't make any sense. Look at his body of work, his ratings in intermediate and deep, his bad throw percentages or FOR fuging SURE his terrible footwork. As I have continued to stress, he is an arm throwing, scrambling QB with significantly below average arm strength and underwhelming athletic ability for a modern QB. The "clutch" stuff is a lot of wishful thinking for a guy with a very low career winning percentage. I have never heard clutch attached to a QB that has the kind of winning percentage that he does. It doesn't logically make sense. I understand you are keeping your hope alive but most of us can see what I think you will eventually come to realize, he just isn't an NFL caliber QB.  Sunk cost fallacy is holding onto assets in the hope of recovering a return, rather than taking your losses and reinvesting them into something that may pay off. This is the exact opposite of sunk cost fallacy by keeping a failed asset. He has to be one of the football dumbest players we have ever had in the history of this franchise. Easily the most football dumb 1st round draft pick. Yeah well he seems to fug that up pretty often too. Further back into the stands, I would say.
