Hunter was never looked at as a replacement for AT by anybody by fans.

No, but I do think he would have been used in a similar role of a zone buster slot that can run quick routes or option routes. That NFL experience of knowing man vs zone coverage and knowing where to sit against Cover 2 vs. 3 vs. 4 vs. 6/9

Don't think he was starting over Coker, but he would have definitely been next in line at slot had we of traded AT away.

I'm not saying I didn't want him on the team. 

 

That's a damn crowded room.

Hopefully we can find some better upgrades on waivers to replace DJ, Evans, Crumedy, and backup ILB

I think Evans sticks around as a developmental piece. He strikes me as another Tremble type...never gonna light the world on fire as a pass catcher, but will run over anyone that gets in his way as a blocker.

Both the Mitchell’s made it at TE.  Interesting.

 

also, we should sign Isaiah Simmons.  I thought I read we were interested at some point?

With how weak we are at LB and bad at ST it makes perfect sense. He's a gunner on ST and can flex all over from SS to ILB situationally. It's not like we'd need to let go of a true ILB to make it happen (unless we are looking at someone's cut or a trade).

Yeah, for all of his “lacking a natural position,” he still would probably be the best ILB on our roster, and one of the better safeties.

As long as he is a serious contributor on ST yeah it makes sense to have a guy who can be a third stringer at a few other positions. I don't know anything bout the Packers roster or why he was let go, but we are in a pretty different situation than them

Yeah, I can’t say I’ve kept up with him closely the last couple years, but I am kind of surprised because I thought he had turned a corner a couple years ago with AZ.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Yeah this needs to happen ASAP. I don’t care if the price is lower. These Vikings fans on Twitter are absolutely insufferable. Acting like they have been world beaters for the last 60 years and thinking Carolina should just hand him over for nothing. We’ve had 7 or so tough seasons in a row and we have still been to two superbowls since they have and won more playoff games since 1995.    I hope Dan sends him to Detroit for a 2040 7th rounder and eats half the contract. Even Sheena is replying to them.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By frankw · Posted

      So did the Panthers initiate this by making him "available for the right price" or was this something Thielen himself pushed for? I also never saw this quote he made about JJ McCarthy back in June. https://sports.yahoo.com/article/panthers-adam-thielen-both-asked-182711572.html Thielen believes McCarthy is built for big moments and will eventually show the world the skillset that won the Michigan Wolverines a national championship in 2023/2024. He even said McCarthy could be the “face of the league.” “I have high expectations for him. I've been able to be around a little bit through some of the time last summer... back in Minnesota, and I think he has the ability to be one of the great quarterbacks this season and the face of this league at some point. You know, I think he's got every tool and intangible that you can have,” Thielen said. “Obviously, it's a difficult league and it's not gonna just be easy, but I think he has the ability to handle adversity to be able to be big in big moments, as you saw when he was in college. I think he's got a great support staff around him, whether it be the coaches or the trainers.” Sounds like he's had one foot out the door for some time now.
