Hard to over throw to that guy. Some things you can't teach.

That definitely is true and the guy is a pure hands catcher. He plucked the ball on most catches. North Dakota passed to Christian  Watson a bunch and Trey Lance ran a bunch last year. I'd like to see if it's more to his game. If not, it is an udfa signing....

It's been 4 plus years and the guy has shown very limited anything in the passing game. We drafted  Tommy  bc im sure they would like to see someone bc a complete tight end.  If Ian surprisingly ( yes surprisingly) does well, it's a win win. 

I will not stand for this anti Ian Thomas rhetoric. He is the 24th highest paid TE in the NFL for a reason. #KeepPounding

Been hearing that for years. Will be hearing it for a few more it seems. 

Mike Seidman, Jeff King, Michael Gaines - these are all three panther legends that hopefully Thomas will one day be compared to

Teams just did not seem to care about covering this guy lol I've never seen someone that wide open that many times.

But dudes like this are exactly why I'm always excited for preseason (at least until I inevitably get bored one half into the first game).  Is he likely to blow it up or even make the team?  Nah, but there are intriguing traits that you're excited to see potentially translate onto the field.

NDSU is Alabama-esque at their level. That happens a lot there.

    • I mean, I think you're being a little hyperbolic with the last statement, but point taken. 
    • Pass rush was the biggest issue in tonight’s game, and we were tied for 28th in sacks this season. That is a major area of need that has to get addressed this offseason. I just don’t see a path where there’s a game changing QB you can bring in with where we are drafting and quality of veterans that will be available. We certainly can do better than Dalton as a backup, and should ideally have a developmental guy  (perhaps a day 3 pick this year). We have bryce for one more year on a reasonable contract and then I think 2027 is the year that you reset that position (unless he massively improves).
    • Agreed, honestly basically bringing this group back as a healthy unit would be alright.  Brady Christensen should be resigned to a very reasonable deal with him recovering from the Achilles.  Atleast we're alright at 4 of our 5 spots with Lewis, Mays, Hunt, and Moton, Nijman was decent.  While if we can snag a deal on someone, take a stab, however our resources need to go to Linebacker, Pass Rush and a real option outside Tmac (coker is amazing, but if we can get someone who isnt braindead opposite Tmac, we can fully unleash Coker AND Tmacs full potential, cant move him into the slot if racoon boy is out there licking doorknobs).
