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.

      Panthers will play starters in first 2 preseason games

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales said Friday that starters will play in the first two preseason games, stopping just short of admitting he made a mistake last season holding them out. The plan includes playing quarterback Bryce Young, who got off to a historically bad start to the 2024 regular season that got him benched after opening 0-2. Carolina opens their preseason schedule Friday at home against Cleveland, followed by an August 15 road game at Houston and August 21 home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.   Canales said he will evaluate after the first two games whether starters will play in the third game. "Kind of going through it last year, we had a mix of veteran players, but [this is] predominantly a pretty young team,'' said Canales, who has at least six new starters to the defense that was the worst in the league a year ago. "I just can't pass up the opportunities. The reps in games are valuable. "[But] it goes to the night before, when guys know they're going to go out there, they've got to make a decision to play football. So it starts the night before with the prep. You start thinking about your plan, taking care of your body, making sure you get your rest.''   https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45880676/panthers-starters-play-first-2-preseason-games-says-coach

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      You call the Cowboys purely for information, but we don't have the assets to pull off any realistic trade. Also, even if they would consider any trade, it's more likely they want to do it with an AFC team.
