Mingo/TMJ have so much potential, he would be bad for the growth and development of the young guys.

 

It's literally what they told me.lmao

Are you still refusing to accept that it was Chark's signing that made going after Hopkins not make any sense?

Chark getting hurt is exactly why I didn't want him and would have rather waited on someone like Hopkins becoming available as then we'd have had a slot for him.  But once we signed Chark, Thielen, and drafted Mingo, our WR room was set outside of back end guys being brought in.

This one is on Fitterer, just like the Burns situation, I'm getting very frustrated with Fitts lately and I'd been a defender of his for a while.

This is one of the reasons I was confused we included DJ in the trade up for Bryce. If the reports are true that they would have taken Brown and 1st, that would have been a much better trade. Why you would include your WR1 in a trade for a rookie QB is baffling to me. That's counter productive to his development. 

Pretty sure it was only early discussions that they wanted Brown or Burns in the trade, it was including DJ that let us only trade away 1 future first, if DJ wasn't included they wanted multiple future firsts.

Because they knew they had to get their QB a #1 weapon and knew there wasn't one on the FA market this year, we instead gave ours away and signed oft-injured Chark for that role, SMH

I mean Ricky Proehl’s  best season was 400 something yards here.  Ricky was a roleplayer.   

Exactly - Thielen as a mentor and role player, not someone being relied upon to produce WR2/WR1 numbers. Might be expecting too much of him at this point.

Which, that’s exactly what we should want him to be just like Proehl. 
 

But with this room, he’s having to try and be that 1/2 guy and he’s just not that anymore.

Yep, Theilen should be a #3 providing vet leadership to guys ahead of him and when on the field can be counted on to always do the right thing.  That was Ricky Proehl.   A role player/mentor.  Not a starting WR.

      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.
