Everyone said ok now we got moose he will free up smitty, no more triple coverages. Ok true but our passing game and play calling and routes are straight from the 70's. There is no reason that when we come out in a 4 wr set we have smitty and moose on opposite sides and king and rosario in the slots. What can king and roasrio possibly do to be a down field threat? We need jarrett, smith, moose and a playmaking te out there, a gates, a winslow a gonzalez thats why I was pissed we didnt jump on it when kc was trading gonzo. A TE of that caliber adds so much to your bunch sets and iforms just carve up the middle of the field on streaks, fades etc. A lb can cover king or rosario 1 on 1, they cant cover a great TE like gates, winslow or gonzo 1 on 1 forcing a safety up top, which by its self frees up smitty (cant keep rodgers down low and rolle up top the whole game on smit) and the run game than you look at moose on the other side. I just dont get it why we always have to have these full back/ tes out there for run blocking (yes good at it) but they cant make plays on the recieving end or seperate from anyone. Our only downfield threat is smith and thats it. Id love for us to invest on the TE position its a whole new dimension.

Guys like Winslow, Gates, and TG don't come around very often. That's why you could only name 3. Less than 10% of teams have that type of playmaking TE. We need tight ends who can block. That's what we got.

They're good at it.

Don't tell me, either, that "well we can bring King and Rosario to block, too." And you think we're predictable now? Everytime a team saw that our superstar, hall-of-fame-bound tight end was subbing out for King or Rosario......RUN!!!

yea but whos looking to be shipped? gonzo and winslow. And no I dont think we would be more predictable, because even if we show run and than pass with king and rosario its ineffective. Put king and TG out there and see how much more effective our passing game is from the iform, strong i etc.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.

      He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!

      But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
