Physically gifted. Better? 

Not really. Your implication was that he was a talent with bad coaching. He’s on his 4th team in 5 years and we gave him 3 years to show something. He was just a bad pick and as a WR in the NFL, he’s not gifted in any way.

Also, he was waived in late August of last year so Canales had plenty of time to observe him and didn’t want him either.

TMJ was a bad pick but on paper and in evaluations he looked like a very physically gifted receiver. It sort of reminds me of Xavier except Xavier has a sort of cult following due to going to USC. 
 

It was his rookie year but bro straight up lost the Eagles game last year. TMJ never lost us a game.

TMJ was terrible and straight up quit on routes. That definitely loses you games. You may not see it the same from the couch as the guy who actually put in effort to get open and dropped a pass, but not running your route and the QB taking a sack or giving up on a would be touchdown loses games just the same. Just saying. For all his faults, XL is light years better than TMJ.

I still have my reservations about XL but this is a very good distinction.  Give me XL all day over TMJ.

eh, blaming XL for the losing the Eagles game is like blaming a kicker for missing the kick at the end of the game and ignoring all the other massive bad play that came before the final bad play

he should of caught the ball.  That drop IMO has been drastically over sold in the XL hate.  Given the QB play on the year on his role and situation he was in as a rookie. 

after that drop, we still converted the next play on 3rd down to setup a first.  We then essentially gained 1 yard in the next 4 attempts.  Philly took over after our failed 4th and 9 attempt.  Lot of ugly in that game.

TMJ presents the issue w/ drafting role players on powerhouse teams.  You don't know how good they are. because they are almost in can't fail situations.  His best season was with Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase.......heck, I could go out there and catch a pass because no one going to think about me.

I will be glad when September gets here, so we can start talking about how they are doing instead of how they might do.  

That being said, I don't think think we will play that well at first, and we could end up 1-3 after the first four games, but we will hopefully get better as the season goes along.  

I am happy with the way things turned out.  We looked bad early, but with two of our losses coming against two of the three best teams we played (Jacksonville, NE, and Seattle).  

Now we just need to keep improving next year.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
