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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
