It sucks a lot but we need to evaluate the younger guys and see what we have. 

If they end up being nothing, we need to pivot again at WR in the offseason.

Agreed

Now that Dalton’s playing there really isn’t a reason for Thielen to be out there. Like you said, we really need to see what we have in Mingo (especially) but XL as well

You mean a reason other than wanting to win football games?

We aren’t winning the Super Bowl this year

This staff keeps pushing the whole developmental thing so having a 36 year old WR out there while our 1st round rookie WR that we traded up for sits on the bench doesn’t do us a ton of favors long term

Jeez, 1 win and some of you completely change course. Tepper is the same way

I broke this yesterday, in a random thread. Anish confirmed this was a hamstring during the game on the radio broadcast. Obviously there was no prognosis but, as a 33 year old white guy with probably 60% the athleticism of Theilen, I can confirm that a hamstring injury would hurt, and would continue to hurt for longer than if I were 22. 
 

Therefore, I agree with the MD’s timeline of “I have no f’n clue, you’re 30 something bro, why are you playing a game?”

Thielen is a warm security blanket for any Panther QB.  He catches the ball when thrown to him and moves the chains.  When it’s third and 7, he’s money good.

[How are you going to evaluate what you have on offense when the team is perpetually three and out?]

Because I'm a god damn carnival psychic that's how. Good enough for you?

OK, then what carnival will I be attending in the near future? 

Normally, I stay out of spats, but I like to say things that are so stupid, people pause to make sure they heard it correctly, show empathy towards whatever happened to me, and to decide whether or not my statement deserves a response.  In that pause, I claim victory.

Oh it wasn't a spat. I was in a rush to get my kid this morning out the door for school and I was fooling with the site and saw his question. I didn't feel like explaining myself how I get that feeling so I just told him I was a carny. Seemed like the most simple answer.

How I know though is working with him personally the past 3 years before anybody knew who he was and watching him grow as a player as well as seeing his insane work ethic day in and day out. Speaking to him a few weeks ago and hanging out at our alma mater during a home game on the sidelines I could see a very motivated young man to prove any skeptics wrong. I'm obviously biased due to our ties to the school and our history together but the guy is going to make a mark eventually and get acclimated day by day and week by week. 

The final judgement is not out on Mingo either. We shall see how he does with a different QB throwing his way. He is far from bust category yet no matter what some others may think already. Development sometimes takes the right situation around a player with the right support even with factoring in a players solid inner drive and work ethic.

    • It’s not new. That particular claim has largely disappeared because it has become untenable, but a few games into his rookie year when the playbook/gameplan/personnel/everything was terrible there was endless claims, posts, even threads made that Bryce Young was physically incapable of throwing the ball 20 yards downfield in the NFL. It was also argued that physically throwing the ball 20 yards in the NFL was somehow different than college. Once he threw the ball 20 yards, the goal posts moved to 30 yards, etc. I’m not going to use the search function for you, the point wasn’t as much that one claim as it was that that was one claim out of many that has made it very difficult to have a reasonable discussion here.
    • I mean, I can get a ball downfield 40 yards.  There would be a couple massive issues with me doing it.   My ball placement would be off the charts bad.  Second, for me to get it 40 yards I'm gonna have to moon it......which would give DBs the opportunity to make plays on balls that wouldn't exist if a better QB were throwing it.  Which is all an exaggerated explanation of the Bryce issue.  To many play the literal game w/ Bryce when it comes defending him.  Every NFL QB likely can loft one up around 50 yards.  Every QB in the NFL can't get a ball 30 yards downfield in the same windows.  Or the same ball placement.  That's the Bryce issue.    But I also think mixed into that is just his QB DNA.    Take a young Brees, it was in his DNA to stress defenses and takes shots.  He would flat out be Delhomme-ish at times.  Which is coverage and assignment altering.  Brees would throw balls into triple coverage 40 yards downfield.  Is that smart? Sometimes it is.  Not because the play gets made but you force the secondary to play honest.  
    • Tbf were not going to the superbowl this year so the development of our young wr is invaluable  As a side note 5 of our wr are in their 2nd year or less ( t Mac, Coker, tremayne, horn, x)  It's def a promising youth movement
