Two hot takes

Take one:

I don't believe we are set at TE, regardless of the Darnold-Arnold connection, the drafting of Tremble or the other (ongoing) experiment that is Ian Thomas. Ricci...? Ha ha!

We need to offer something to the Browns for David Njoku. They don't need him. Hell, that being said, I'm not sure we need him if Brady is not going to use him. Rhule and company may not value the position like past Panthers coaches. 

We have a TE by committee that creates one Frankenstein. Not one is complete. Arnold is light in the ass and really can't block. Ian Thomas is the size, but just appears like he's stuck in mud when he's moving, and...he can't block AND has had sketchy hands (and, no, that misse today wasn't his fault). Tremble is young and inexperienced, so who knows what he's going to do? He ain't doing anything soon though. TE is perhaps the most difficult position to learn on offense (outside of QB of course). And, he really doesn't have any active player in Charlotte of what a complete TE looks like.

 

Take two:

For the love of God, Brady needs to learn fast--and maybe Rhule too--how to use a fuging big, strong back near the goal line (or even to move the chains on short yardage sometimes). I don't know if they're scared of our own O-line to get a push or what, but running CMC into the pile at the goal line is dumb! You claimed Rolls Royce, now you need to drive the motherfuger at the goal line!

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
