Adam Thielen's one handed catch last year in OT against the Bucs was the best catch I have seen by a Panther in several years.  

 

 

To bad we wasted it. 

Too old. washed up. Slow and play has declined. Park him on the bench. Right? 

Best hands ever (yes, even than McCaffery) on this team.

The crazy part is that as good as that catch was, if it was T-Mac, it wouldn't even be in his Top 5 catches over his last 2 seasons, more than likely would crack the Top 10, but even that might not be a guarantee.

And I mean that as no slight to Thielen, I love having him as a Panther.  But just saying, get used to a number of eye popping grabs by T-Mac every year, it's just what he does, those hands are vice grips covered with glue.

Coker isn't an experienced veteran, and neither did he go to Minnesota with Bryce Young and company. Now I am not saying he didnt have his reasons for not attending, but he's still a young kid. 

He doesn't have to be a vet to hold information. His route running is still better than average.

I hope you are right.  

Fwiw, I sometimes think that when assessing WR's, fans and occasionally coaching staffs/scouts, get caught up to much in speed.  Speed is great and certainly helps.  But everyone involved in the passing game is fast.  With a guy like Thielen, and hopefully Tet, they only need a couple of feet to be considered open.

Most elite WRs aren't necessarily burners. Not a lot of elite WRs in the modern era were 4.3 guys. If anything, sometimes it seems like the super fast guys use their speed as a crutch and it hampers their development in the intricacies of route running.
