It doesn’t not mean that at all either. brian regan what GIF

Really ??

alright let’s step under the learning tree for a moment…

1. WR room is thin in the 1st place anyway.. After trading DJ you we’re adding 2 to 3 WR form the beginning.. Fitt literally said this..

2. The Room lacks experience.. Not good for a Rookie QB.. Adding Theilen and Chark at least gives you 2 WR in the room with “years” of starting experience..

3. Context in the situation - Due to the old regime TMJ got little play time so this his only real time going into a season getting real reps.. Chark has a large injury history.. And bringing in a rookie in a weak WR class isn’t something you can depend on getting a day 1 starter from.. So covering all your basis is the best way to further in sure a stable environment for a rookie QB..

4. Weak draft and weak FA class means you need to throw a lot of dart at the board.. Plain and simple..

None of this is a detriment to TMJ but more about having options and not putting your eggs in 1 basket.. Which is smart moves to make when you’re trying to develop your franchise number 1 pick..

I like Thielen as he'd be a good slot safety valve for a rookie and would be a great vet presence in the WR room to teach these guys how to be pros, particularly TMJ and whichever WR we draft in the 2nd.

But I just don't see the need for Chark, he's similar to TMJ and very injury prone, just not someone I'd like to see us target as I don't think he brings enough value to us right now.

Other than saying theyre both tall, i dont think tmj and chark have much else at all in common.

Disagree with this.

 

While Chark is injury prone he is still a high end #2 WR who is still in his prime.

 

Thielen had a great career but he's 33 and trending towards more of a #3 WR. He has also had the opportunity of having single coverage because he played with Justin Jefferson. He won't have that here in Carolina.

 

If I had to choose between the 2 give me Chark.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
