I actually saw those posts on their board and couldn’t stop laughing. To add context, Arnold had a key drop for the Saints in the playoffs and TGIF fans blamed him for losing that game. 

Yup.  I liked that we schemed him in for more touches in that game.

Arnold struck me as a really likeable guy so I'm sorry to see him go.

It does however seem as though he wasn't quite as popular in the eyes of decision makers.

They sure got a decent haul for him if they weren't too fond of him. 

To me he wasn't the big bodied RedZone threat I thought we were getting - he's a finesse TE and played smaller than he is. 77 yards in 3 games as the primary TE isn't going to cut it. 

Good luck to him in Jacksonville - they have some very talented skill position players (Robinson, Chalk, Shenault, Jones and Hyde), so hopefully he can contribute. It'd be nice to see Jacksonville turn into a legit team again.

He will help Trevor a bit. I think they also have Manhertz as well.

I think they were fond of him. They mentioned he'd likely be a coach one day and was a real professional.

They just had an extra piece that could be utilized to get something they wanted more strategically. I doubt they approached it as "hey you want to take this guy off our hands?" It's just as likely that's who Jax asked for in return for the cb they knew we coveted and had a newfound need for.

Rhule said he didn't really want Arnold included in the trade, but that was what sealed the deal.

Arnold was a solid pass catching TE, good at finding soft spots in the zone, but I will say he didn't relish contact.  I thought we would see a little more YAC from him.

I wish him luck in Jacksonville....just not when/if he plays against us.

They will do that only if they get rid of Urban Meyer.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
