I really don’t understand the takes on this guy from some of you, posters I generally respect their opinions, but I watched a lot of this guy this past season and he just flat out catches everything in his area.  I posted about it a few months ago, this guy is the real deal!  If BY can put the ball anywhere close to him, he is going to come down with it.  Saying we already have this player in XL is a lazy take.

The main problem i had with picking Tmac at 8 was that he is only a top ten WR because of the lack of top end Reciever talent in this draft.  He has to be more aggressive without the ball in his hands.  Has to be more of a team player and block downfield on running plays.  Use his big body and be the bully instead of getting bullied.  He's a Panther now and I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.  The news about Walker's shoulder made this easier to swallow also, and you could say just about anyone we could pick at 8 would be a stretch

What would you have rather done with the pick? Who was the better and cleaner prospect on the board?

I was team Walker, after learning about the injury I'm glad we didn't pick him.  As I said I would have went Edge mainly because I knew it would be hard to get a starter in the 2nd.  To be fair there was no player worth the 8th pick

Honestly was a little concerned before double dipping yesterday. Nick and Princely are gems. Nick was better than Shemar in my very honest opinion. 

Exactly, if you looked at the Panthers draft guide they had Scourton ranked ahead of Stewart

This is the last time I throw shade at Tmac, he's a Panther now and deserves a chance to prove me wrong, which I hope he does.

Didn't know that. I'm liking this PFF guy more and more. I watched games of Shemar from last season, but the guy on the other side kept making plays. I didn't even know who he was. It was Nick Scourton.

Tez has a problem with size. He will have to make his way onto the team through special teams. At a buck fifty he will get broken in half at this level.

Oh I strongly disagree about making the team on special teams. He's basically Tank Dell. We don't have anyone like him. And haven't for a long time. 

And Tank's injury was a freak play. Not him getting smacked by a defender. Bad luck more than anything.

Apparently teams don't share the same view. Today is special teams day and these cats only hope is to earn a spot by standing out on special teams. Tez is not beating out a wr on this team in camp.

Welp can't argue that. But he definitely earns a roster spot on Carolina as the 5th or 6th guy. Beats out David Moore and whoever else we have behind him.

David Moore plays special teams as well. Like I said, he will have to play special teams if he wants a spot on the roster.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
