Thielen traded

[Shocker]

This is a good move IMO.  Will miss AT but we aren’t winning right now and I like the return personally 

[outlaw4]

They must really be comfortable enough with Coker stepping into Thielen's shoes and T-Mac's development to where he'll definitely  be getting plenty of targets now. If they think BY and our three young receivers will be the nucleus of our long term future, then might as well do this now and learn to play together.

This move allows our young WRs to grow which is what we need. AT was only going to hold them back by taking reps away from them. We got something for a dude who is ready to retire and im sure he was happy to go back to the Vikings for his last season.

We got a fourth for the oldest receiver in the league. It’s honestly a pretty good return, and everyone’s concern over losing a well-past-his-prime Adam Thielen is just evidence of how far the standards of this franchise have fallen.

 

T-Mac, Coker, and XL can carry the load. Looking forward to seeing the new-look offense.

Boom!

This also shows that they are really high on the young ins at WR and want to give them the opportunity to mature on the field instead of sideline mental reps.

I dont disagree but this season is more about BY then the WR.  The runway is running out for him to show if we should make a commitment and AT is the most direct and shortest line in finding out.

Only the Panthers are selling before week 1

They, like the rest of us, know what's about to go down in 11 days.

Bryce had tunnel vision with thielen.  Removing it forces Bryce to look for the open wr not for where theilen is on the field.

I think TMac and XL are listed as the starters but obviously we will be playing more than 2 WR on most formations so Coker prob is a starter in that aspect. 

All 3 are listed on the (now official) depth chart as starters.

The standards of this team have fallen like a rock, if the qb throws for 150 yards and a td a game thats basically a panthers hall of famer in recent panthers world with any wins at all amazing. With all that being said AT did have like 75% of all the panthers receiving yards since he has been here, hopefully some of the other wrs step up.

I don’t like this move for Bryce, but you can’t pass up a 4th round pick. Hopefully the younger guys are ready.
