Heres the deal- I do not believe that twatter source. * I do believe the panthers are taking and maybe making calls about TMJ.

In a recent Rhule presser, he put public pressure on TMJ. Along the lines " We need to see him practice very soon, it's TIME." Seems like the training staff have told him TMJ is ready and TMJ feels like hes not 100%........ pure guess, both Rhule rarely goes public with a statement like that.

Another layer is Joe Brady. Brady's influence for both Derrick Brown and TMJ becoming panthers was a big part of the reason. TMJ may not have the toughness Rhule is sooooo fond of. Some WRs have to be 100% in order to play, or feel like they cannot perform....mental game deal. CMC spoke that TMJ looked totally different, as well. If the best WR in the league is never healthy, what good is he? If a late 2nd WR needs to be 100% for any work, what good is he when the whole league plays hurt??

I think Marshall was a Brady pick because of the LSU connection .  He may have talent but you can not' make the club from the tub .  Its sad for Marshall  ,but Rhule was not the problem .   The best players should play regardless of draft position .   He is taking a spot that others have worked hard for and not had injury problems  .  Some team might take a chance on him , but we are not in a position to let him sit .

Soft tissue injuries are so iffy. It's just hard to trust it unless it feels new. I pulled a hammy that took 3 months to recover from, and about 95% healed I pulled it again. Not saying that's the case but I understand wanting it to feel perfect.

Joe Brady wasn't making the calls on our draft picks.  Or our free agents.  People keep acting like Joe Brady was all powerful and had all this authority.   The things by some early this offseason was to blame Joe Brady somehow for bringing in Sam Darnold based on nothing outside of wanting to deflect away from Rhule. 

He was newb OC who Matt Rhule didn't even trust to run our offense.

DJ Moore played most of 2021 injured. Smitty played with alllllll sort of injuries including broke arm. Like you I got no clue, speculating and all. Just with the Rhule comments, its feels like a battle is going on between Rhule/docs/trainers vs TMJ/agent/crew.... 

Healthiest any player is day 1 of OTAs, after that its down hill. Playing with pain, its a big part of being a NFL player. Maybe TMJ needs to retire and pick up track and field.....

      The lack of discipline has seriously been our downfall the last month. Seems like we just went off course this last month and Lee won't address it. You can't just live and die by the 3 when you can attack the paint and at worst draw a foul

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents
