If grunt work is whiffing on blocks then he is earning his money. He's basically a 6th lineman. Blocking in space is not his thing. 

I admit to not paying close attention to it but I've not heard anyone outside this community say he's not a good blocker. Just the opposite

He's a likeable guy apparently.  He must do something to earn his roster spot but I'll be damned if I can see it.

One of the bigger things that holds younger TEs back is the lack of true flex experience in college. Having both in-line and big slot looks. 

Last year-LaPorta had the high volume college experience, same with Kincaid & Kraft.  3 guys had it this year- Bowers, Sanders and Sinnott.  Stover a bit.  

It's reassuring to have a guy who has the experience and volume.  We're not relying on some upside and these 20-30 reception college years for 250ish yards.

This is a dude.

Damn I think Sanders might have been getting better separation than XL for larger dudes. It's kinda crazy to think that no teams had to account for a pass catching tight end last year as well which spreads out those stacked safeties and LB's. So glad we're getting a TE that's not a FB experiment like Ricci or just bad all around soft dude like Ian Thomas. That room has needed some shaking up for like 5 years, guys were just chilling getting paid to do nothing

I will never ever understand the hatred for Bersin. He caught every pass thrown to him. Should have never been put in a position to return punts

At this point it's just a running joke amongst most fans for me. Nothing too serious. 
I didn't hate him, I thought he was serviceable. I also don't think he needed to be on the team as long as he was.

He basically did what Thielen did every down last year

“I was a receiver in high school. So I feel I’m kind of advanced as far as receiving goes,” Sanders said. “The tight ends in this draft class — we’re the new-age tight ends. Like (Travis) Kelce and (George) Kittle and guys like (T.J.) Hockenson, they’re the guys who started the new-age tight end. But guys like me, Brock, Cade (Stover) and Jared Wiley, we’re the new-age tight ends (who) bring more of the receiving ability to the tight end position.”

He should become a starter by season end as he is the only TE that can catch. Brooks should eventually beat out Chuba and XL should start pretty soon. That’s 3 pretty high percentage starters from this draft. If Wallace can successfully replace Shaq next year it would be a very successful draft. Considering we had no first and walked away with a pick in each round plus a future 2nd that’s a solid job so far.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
