Recommended Posts

I watched most of this game from an airport and plane, saw almost everything and at least followed updates for what I didn’t see. Landing now but I’m curious on yalls take.

Good:

Pocket Movement and Awareness

Improvisation in the pocket, extending the play

Clear Confidence and Demand all game

Pushing the ball downfield 

Throwing the 50/50 1:1 Balls

Good decision making passing and running 

Accuracy outside of the redzone

Composure - not only with defensive pressure but with receivers dropping balls and multiple dumbass offensive line false starts penalties ruining and potentially ruining drives he kept cool.

Ability to fit the ball in tight windows.

Juice - You gotta show some of that personality and dawg to drive energy to your team.

Cons:

Redzone, have to at least give us a chance to catch the ball. Threw plenty that may as well been a throw away.

Ball security in the pocket still an issue.

 

Im landing now but tried hard to find pros and cons quickly and was hard to find cons truthfully as fast as the pros. What say you?

With the game on the line over two drives, Bruce threw it away on a must make third down, threw a couple bailout DPIs, and completed clutch handoffs. 

finally reached the elusive 7 ypa threshold 

Dude led a game winning TD drive despite a drop by XL that woulda gone for 30...

The Thielen throw is a TD without DPI.

Compared to last year and the beginning of this year, he is throwing when guys are “nfl open”.

He’s much more willing to push the ball downfield.

He’s more accurate.

Redzone passing needs work.

This game was not the same as the packers game last year. This was a very good defense.

He’ll get another year here. If he keeps improving, he might be worth keeping.

He actually threw a couple balls he previously didn't, but still left some out with throw aways in the end zone and out of bounds on scrambles. He looked much better but still limits the playbook and that will never change just based on physics

    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
