Ian Thomas vs Tommy Tremble

As a strong believer in Thomas when we drafted him, I still don't understand why we retained him and why more of a concerted effort wasn't made to address TE in the offseason.  Whether we play Tremble or not, Thomas isn't a very good pro.  Period.  He has all of the tools, but he just isn't good.  But, being that he's here, I hope he had a better season, I'm just not holding my breath.  And I really paid attention to his blocking last season and couldn't believe how bad he was for his size.

Also, found it interesting that we kept so many TEs (4-5 depending on how you count it) and they literally had like 3 catches for 27 yards yesterday.  So much for a security blanket.

I don't have much issue with our approach at TE this off-season. We signed a mid-level FA and we drafted a 3rd round prospect. One was viewed as primarily a receiver and the other primarily a blocker. That's a decent investment in the position on one off-season.

And Arnold is worse at blocking than Ian. If tremble can become a pass catching tight end with his blocking ability we’ll have a lot of options. He’s just a rookie though who had hands issues in college. We’ll see. We need a guy who can do both to not tip what we’re doing to the defense. 

From what I’ve seen of Tremble, he looks like a solid receiver. And he will certainly improve. Play that man!

I should have known Arnold was trash by the way his agent was selling him during the negotiating process. 
 

if someone has to sell you that hard then maybe you ain’t that good.

Dang I didn't know you were at his negotiations. What else can you tell us?

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
