Dude is a 3rd WR at this point in his career. I still want them to double down on rookie WRs

I agree. But I’d be ok with him being a 2 if we can get a true #1.

WR is just one of those positions people will have to accept overpaying this year either money or in years because of how it is. But I’d rather do that than ruin our #1 overall development.

Agreed. Not expecting much from Thielen surprised we gave him 3 years. Hopefully he can make some good red zone snags or something but we still need to draft a WR. 

If he stays healthy he's the most reliable pass catching option on the team by a mile and that's beyond meaningful

The 3 year deal sounds like cap manipulation to me, not a chance they are expecting 3 years out of him.  The final year or two is probably either voidable or won’t have any effect on the cap if he’s cut.  We haven’t seen the numbers yet but this front office is smart enough to structure it that way to save cap space for this year.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
