Exhibit A: Robby Anderson

No. Just no. 

Robby was signed after an excellent year (and number of years to be fair). 

Yes, he had ONE sucky year, but let's not say anything that might break this now tiresome Huddle narrative.

Ian Thomas has the most value as a blocker.  That being said, I have seen him whiff on assigned blocks and get flattened as well.

He's made a handful of very good catches in 4 years, but he usually goes down quickly when contact occurs.  He isn't one to fight for those extra yards.

He got paid a lot more than I thought he was worth, but I suppose the FO thinks more highly of him than a majority of the fans.

Dude, he sucks. He's a moron, plays like a selfish twit and will throw his teammates under the bus to cover up for his failings. 

I'd pay another team to take him.

The TE room doesn't have a Greg Olsen type player. 

Thomas was not signed for his pass catching ability though he has the ability.  He was signed because he's a blocking type TE and will be big for us in the run game.

Tremble is a great blocker and IMO a better pass catcher than Thomas and has a huge upside and I expect him to really shine this year.

TE's on this team are going to have to be good blockers.  If Babicz plans on making this team he is going to have to show he can block first.  If he shows growth during OTAs, minicamps and training camp he'll probably be on the practice squad.

Vs N Iowa - the scoop off the carpet while running, being able to stay upright and continue running for TD was a pretty nice play.

I think you need to consider the competition though in all of this.  They teams NDSU played weren't exactly SEC caliber.

I've already said he's the UDFA that makes the team...barring injury.  He's got to beat out Thompson and Sullivan for TE3.  REALLY?

Definitely  has a shot!! The size n skill in both passing and Blocking is more in line than either of those 2(mainly special teams only)

Competition  was definitely  not elite but the traits to pluck the ball off ground and catch over people is still impressive. I get your logic tho, it's why I'm not crowning him but would like to see if he develops through offseason.  His biggest bonus is pairing. I say that because  he will most likely be getting reps with Corral. With that being the case, he will definitely  be on the staff radar if those 2 connect and etc during practice.

No one had any problem with Anderson until last season. No one was saying that he sucks, plays selfishly and throws his teammates under the bus or anything of the sort. The fact is is that he hasn't thrown anyone under the bus, not even Sam Darnold.

The fact TE Josh Babicz worked his tail off and paid the price to keep on progressing, getting better and better speaks highly of him.

If these same traits translate to training camp and the coaches like what he brings to the table we may have gotten a steal by signing him.

I concur.... the talent and work ethic is there!

So who won the Dan Arnold CJ Henderson trade? Darnold to Arnold was working fairly well before we made the trade. 

In 2021, the Jags did.  Henderson did NOT play well, and Arnold, when on the field, had some decent production.  Also the loss of the chemistry between Darnold and Arnold was apparent.  Ian Thomas does NOT have reliable hands and Tremble was a rookie.

We'll see in 2022.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By Basbear · Posted

      LOL, I tried to do this also....But I never found enough to make a guess.

      Who is/will be an 'All time great' thats on our roster right now?

      By Basbear · Posted

      gosh no one cares about the OGs...   Id list hunt here too, if not for missing 95% of the season.   Best I can say, Tri Turner was the best OG in panthers history if you factor in career length. Wharton was super solid, but never elite. Norwell while having a 1st all-pro, only played 2.5 starting years.    If lewis stays on the panthers and keeps his play lvl at 2025, his path is right there and easy. In 2028 he could be the best OG in panthers history.    Dang if panthers or NFL don't have long great careers.....its sooo rare.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By Basbear · Posted

      All true, Stafford and Mccvay were both talking about "retiring" during those future picks too, I member. In my computer when you make future trade, I feel you have to factor in the worst case or close to it from your side. The big issue for the panthers, maybe even now is that they have not proven they can draft well enough to trade. I know that Dan and company have not traded future picks and they seem to always want 7-8 picks overall. They like to trade 3 picks for 3 picks or 2 for 2.   It would have been great to flip BB for that haul and use those Rams picks instead of the first overall pick...... Verse wise, Jesus what a beast....... Garrett is the top dawg and all, but man this is rough for me. I also noticed this about the panthers they are pedo bears, they like dem young. So a 25 year old verse would have gotten gigged with the panthers. Even with NIL and 6th year, and even coofus fallback, panthers prefer younger players. Monroe Freeling (Round 1, Pick 19 | OT, Georgia): 21 years old Lee Hunter (Round 2, Pick 49 | DT, Texas Tech): 22 years old (estimated) Chris Brazzell II (Round 3, Pick 83 | WR, Tennessee): 22 years old Will Lee III (Round 4, Pick 129 | CB, Texas A&M): 21-22 years old (estimated) Sam Hecht (Round 5, Pick 144 | C, Kansas State): 21-22 years old (estimated) Zakee Wheatley (Round 5, Pick 151 | S, Penn State): 22 years old (estimated) Jackson Kuwatch (Round 7, Pick 227 | LB, Miami OH): 22-23 years old   Tetairoa McMillan, WR (Arizona) — Age: 22 Nic Scourton, EDGE (Texas A&M) — Age: 20 Princely Umanmielen, EDGE (Ole Miss) — Age: 21 Trevor Etienne, RB (Georgia) — Age: 20 Lathan Ransom, SAF (Ohio State) — Age: 23 Cam Jackson, DT (FL)- age 22 Mitchell Evans, TE (ND)- age 22 Horn-22   Fitterererere just turned out to be a awful hire, too green, too willing to please, no sense of what talent looks like on teams other than Seahawks, too much pressure, didnt have the correct network of coaches and FO office people. Kick was herniay leftd him with a bare bones talent to start with and besides taking a bottom level team and improving it, he made it even worse AND trading prime draft picks to prolong the timeline to fix. People forget Dan didn't have the 1st overall pick and 39th overall(that dude looking good for bears) to repair this team. Dan could have traded that 1st overall for a proven 1k WR, 9th overall, future 1st and future 2nd......
