idk I don't see Thielen having the speed to work on the outside at this stage of career. he was deadly in the first half of season when he was going against linebackers and nickel corners. but once defenses noticed that and schemed against thielen, he was taken out of the offense. however, thielen is still a reliable receiver and hopefully with the addition of diontae and possible draft picks, we can spread the defense out more

He doesn’t have the speed for the outside.   He doesn’t have the speed for small ball slot.  I’d like his reps decreased and more situational.    He wasn’t deadly IMO.  We were the least threatening O on the NFL going through Thielen…..his yards per touch were sad.  That’s what I call him a glorified TE at this stage.  And he isn’t getting faster. 

and he is a double edge sword IMO given Bryce is the QB.  That’s where he is going to go….I wouldn’t care as much about him with a different QB

Thielen will be fine if we had two other receivers that drew coverage. He's a 3rd and 4th down chains mover at this point in his career

I think Thielen would be fine in a vertical offense where slot play isn't prioritized and essentially is a later read.  In a dink and dunk offense.....the slot is prioritized different.  I don't care what they are selling a disgruntled Johnson.  The X isn't going to be the main target/look for Bryce.  He can only run the slant so many times before defenses sit on it and take that away.  Then what's Bryce going to do over there.

Correct, but the 6 inches in height makes quite the difference 

Leggette is 6'1 and Coleman is 6'3.   

Leggette has a better vertical jump and IMO is the better athlete.  Which is why Leggette had better numbers with contested balls by a fair margin. 

Like I said, I get not liking Leggette.  I just don't get disliking Leggette and wanting Coleman.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
