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

Its true.  And he's 30th for this season.  We don't spend much on TEs comparatively. TE spend:

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. 

Really? I've been against him since he arrived (thanks to his police report), but for on-field, I called it that season when he literally did NOTHING after like the fifth week in the season. Dude was pretty much taking naps on the field and doing nothing to help out his team mates. He got his good start because no one thought he was worth covering and he made them pay. They started covering him with a DB2 or a safety and he couldn't compete.

Year two he further exposed himself as another poor choice from the Matt Rhule former students pool.

All for Carolina finding another TE that can reliably catch the football. 

Having said that, the OP's video was a highlight reel of bad coverages.

Yes it was bad coverages and we are talking about an udfa. I was merely  saying that some skillsets(plucking the ball with his hands and contested  catches) showed up. His background (I linked an article above the video) tells how he started out a wr in high school and was used as a tight end and grew at North Dakota.  When trying to find footage of udfas, you have to do more written background research often. Like I said, not saying what he will become but he has tools and interested  to see how he does during the offseason.

So, basically you were just a hater from the beginning. That's all that means. 

Robby had a nice start to the 2020 season. Him not being as productive after the first five games spoke more to do with Teddy's chicken poo style of play than any coverage of Robby. I saw the games! I remember the analyst even reflecting upon how Bridgewater wasn't letting the ball loose at the right time to Anderson. The windows were there! It's no wonder that the first 5 weeks included Teddy's best YPA and AYPA save for maybe one to two more weeks out of the season depending upon what stat you're looking at. And, talk all the poo you want, Robby was still A Yards After Contact leader in 2020. And, your saying that he did nothing after 5 games is not quite correct (He had less than 500 yards).

Well he can block and play special teams so that may help him make the 53 man roster. I know his stats don’t look that good but to be fair he was basically 3rd in receiving stats, 2nd in receiving TDs and the team doesn’t pass a lot, less than 2400 yards total passing so maybe he ends up being a surprise? Who knows.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
