A rock solid 33 year old vet.  I wouldn’t hate it for 1 year, but he can barely make it through each season lately.  Would be a great outlet on 3rd downs and in the redzone, but you can’t even count on him taking a full complement of snaps at his age.  I’m not exactly sure why he would want to come here lol

Hell yeah. He wants to play for a contender so it’s telling that he’s even interested enough in us to visit whether we wind up signing him or not. Thielen + a WR in the 2nd round would be a great start to giving Stroud some weapons to go with our elite OL

Thielen would be the perfect security blanket for a rookie.

Shi Smith replacement--our Ricky Prohel or Jerricho Cotchery.  A young QB needs these checkdown possession WRs.  I am guessing that is how they use him.  Now they could find a WR who can take it deep....(Chark?) Not sure how much $ we have.

We shall see--a TE in the draft could be the plan (3rd rd).

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11

      If someone key is hurt and your bye week helps you by not forcing you to play without them, it is at a good time.  No way to know about that ahead of time.   I would concede that with 17 games and let’s say you are playoff bound, you would love to have it late

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Hate it for him personally and hope he recovers well. But honestly, reaching an injury settlement and moving on would probably be a best case scenario for the Panthers. This signing always felt like a desperate knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Milton Williams. Williams was a logical scheme fit while Wharton just wasn't. He's best used as a rotational interior pass rushing specialist in an even front. He's way too small to play the nose in a 3-4 and he lacks the length and juice to play the end. Healthy he's a nice roster piece in the right scheme at the right price but we overpaid him to play him in the wrong scheme. The signing just never made any sense to me and I said so at the time.
