Ian Thomas is our TE1. So, yeah, there's that.

This has been a problem for the Tepper tenure pretty much. Olsen went and well, that place has been just a shell of itself.

But this ain't the reason we suck, it's just a symptom.

Yep, I was wanting to draft a TE when Olsen first broke his foot.  I knew that his play, given his age with that injury, was probably going to decline.  What was that 2017?  So I've been wanted to draft a TE day 1 or 2 for nearly 5 years now.

There is plenty of blame to go around.   No one on offense is playing especially well besides a lineman or two.  The line will continue to gel though.

Well. He isn’t wrong.    very inconsistent in pass catching 

they had what, two or three drops on key 3rd downs 

TEs are supposedly big in McAdoo’s offense 

they have to catch the ball…if they can’t, then just have then block or put Marshall out there 

do something 

I sometimes ask myself why the coach doesn’t bring them to the sideline and say ‘stop. Why aren’t you catching  the fuging ball   Do your damned job’

Just like I saw an interview with Taylor post game Sunday in the locker room and   in the background, I heard ping pong balls  I’m like you fugers just got booed off the field and you are playing ping pong ….for real…

im sure the players love Rhule…look at Chubba, he would not be on any other team 

I digress  apologize

I think it was either three or four drops against the Cards for Ian / Tommy combined.

I will say that in the run game, our scheme asks them to do some REALLY stupid things.

Yep

the problem is the timing of those drops as well…not just last week, but every week particularly for a QB who is having accuracy problems and struggling, they don’t need to add to it, when the ball comes to them, hits them in the hands, they have to catch it

I wanted to CUT Ian Thomas and the Panthers not only retain him but give the JAG a sparking new contract. Lol, no wonder this team sucks.

Where is @mrcompletely11 , he has to witness this.... WHY THE IN THE HOLY THINK TANK DID THEY RE-SIGNED Ian "welll he got potential, dont worry about stone hands and YAC" Thomas. Let the bum walk and draft another "super sleeper" in 4th and you'll get the same #s. Finessererererer got a ostrich on the face....

 

I know the TE market went insane, but Ian did not deserve that contract. Let  some other team overpay him and take the 4/5/6 comp and draft his replacement.. 

I hate this move when it happened.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
