Panthers bring back Ian Thomas

I can’t believe how much of a waste this is. We just traded up for Tremble in the 3rd to be our TE. He looked great at blocking and catching, honestly every time he came in. 

This is just stupid no matter how you spin it. Ian provides us with nothing you can’t get from off the street.

This is really beyond. Like no one has done anything much league wise yet and we just dished out $6 mil in house to our 2nd string (at best) TE. An absolute joke.

Fire Rhule, fire Fit, get them all the hell out of that building

Ian followed the Middle Management Way.  Suck up, don't threaten, get rewarded.

The problem, the upper management here sucks, so they hire terrible middle managers, which produces a bad work environment, which produces a crap product.

Fans aren't gonna buy said product.

What was the deal like? Was it cheap? I mean I know very few like him but we have to have someone there on the team and everybody cant a Greg Olsen in his prime. I can't stand Rhule but maybe he was signed as a depth piece? He has at least proven he can be a depth piece. Definitely not starting material of course but would be okay depth is we had another second coming of Greg Olsen.

Something like 3 years and 16.5 million. It's mind-blowing. 

For one of the worst TE in the league. 

As a blocker, he is average. Middle of the pack.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
