You up to date on the panthers TEs? Mr. yearly breakout awaits- Ian Thomas (who I think is currently injured), New breakout hope and goofball- Tremble, Mr. PS/I played at temple- Colin Thompson, First player signed by Finesserererer who still has faith in- Sullivan, prize UFDA guy form north dakota state thats going IR, Big brain think-tank last year made me a FB- Ricci.

Wouldnt take much talent to challenge ANY of those guys for ANY spot 1-4. 

I honestly don't think TE is even close to our biggest concern on offense. 

It's a low ceiling gamble on player with high risk. 

Our OL is far, far more concerning. Possibly QB, as well.

I got 10x the faith in OL than TE. Signed Boze&Colbert and drafted Ickey&Mays. There maybe some rough outings, but I think the group as a whole is one of the best panthers have had. Even in its current state. Having a solid Colbert next to Elf should help him. Big talk as well about Christ being one of the best panthers regardless of position, if thats true big boost as well. Finally Ickey is at his home, just the first 3 games have some HUGE tests for him......welcome to NFL big boi...

I just don't have that faith in the OL. It's easily the biggest concern on that side of the ball for me.

Would like better TE options but I don't know that Ebron is that guy. The good version of him can be but that isn't even remotely consistent.

Plus he is a massive liability in the run game.

 

I will say a vet min deal wouldn't upset me.

Thats fair. I believe the OL was greaatly improved. My main issues are chemistry and growing pains. QB role in this new O, has lots of OL calls. I dont even know if Ickey has heard Bakers voice over 4 times......

Just lots of new parts- OC, OL coach, Asst OL coach, 4(*should be) new starters, 4 new players, new terms/calls/shifts/etc. Rarely does this much turnover come together fast.... Ive got a good record of calling what the OL is before the season and think this group will finish in the top half and have good depth. Plus simply put its the most collective talent I believe thats ever played here, just tooooo many new parts/language/terms can be very difficult to overcome. 

Mo town is looking like he leveled up as well.

At his best, no doubt.  Now, probably not.  Not that Thomas is good, but Ebron was struggling last year, even before he went on IR.  

I respectfully disagree.  Ian has never lived up to even a tenth of what he could be.  Efron has had some quality years and is light-years ahead of Ian as a receiver, regardless of his condition now.  

Issue is, I think if we had any interest, they would've already expressed it, so this is all probably moot.

To each his own, but Ian was better than Eric last season, not that Eric set the bar all that high.  Of course, if Eric does get healthy again, he might be worth a look, but suitors aren't exactly lining up.

Ah, nothing like coming back to the huddle after being away for a while to find which bottom feeder TE would be the better option over starting a tackling dummy or if anyone has actually seen the tackling dummies practice film. This is the sort of edge of your barcalounger hotly debated huddlement that is defintely NOT sapping my will to live and follow football.

How low has the current braintrust forced us to set the bar that this is even a conversation?

Yeah, I can't sign off on that "most collective talent" comment. We have had some insanely talented OL in the history of this franchise. Outside of Moton and maybe(HOPEFULLY) Ickey, none of these guys would make a top 10-15 in our history. 

Frankly, I think top 25 is a big stretch.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Did not expect this from national media. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/10-best-nfl-defenses-2026-texans-seahawks-broncos 10. Carolina Panthers   Key additions: OLB Jaelan Phillips (FA), LB Devin Lloyd (FA), DT Lee Hunter (draft) Key losses: DT A’Shawn Robinson (FA) Don’t be surprised to see the Panthers, who ranked 15th in points allowed and 16th in yards given up last season, make the leap into the top-10 conversation in 2026.  They added two of the marquee defensive free agents in edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd. Cornerback Jaycee Horn is coming off back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons. Carolina lost starting defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson in free agency but essentially replaced him with second-round pick Lee Hunter, who had 10.5 tackles for loss at Texas Tech last season.  Ejiro Evero, one of the NFL’s most respected defensive coordinators, has plenty of talent to work with.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By bandu · Posted

      unless you have a bonafide superstar at Qb you bring in competition every year until you do & or at the very least you want a legitimate plan B in case of an injury .the problem in Carolina is they know Bryce ayoung most likely could not actually win a real legitimate NFL Qb competition right now & if & when he did not win that aforesaid Qb competition it would not only be a major distraction but a setback to his overall development.& moreover once the fans realized they had a much better Qb on the roster it would be alot of public pressure to start the better Qb  ...just saying
