It was Plummer they are talking about 

If we're just keeping it 100 even with Bryce our hope for the upcoming season with him largely originates from practice reps where he was wearing a red jersey.

I’m confused. We are talking about the preseason hospital balls Renfrow caught from Plummer?

Plummer was worse than atrocious. I'm speaking to the state of the QB room as a whole. Andy was playing horribly then got hurt. Bryce did not have a positive outing in his final in game action. Bryce Perkins is a PS quarterback at best. And Hendon Hooker folks in Detroit were just fine seeing him go.

Cool story. Anyway in regards to the bad throws to Hunter. That was Plummer.

I agree our WR's did not get a fair shake in developing anything in preseason. But that opens the door for why Morgan and Canales set that scenario up in the first place.

I don’t care. Morgan should not care either. We got a 4th it wasn’t like we got a haul. You stay and play or stay and sit out. No damn reason to just let him do what he wants because we want to be a nice FO and look good to other players. So stupid 

There is never any reason to crashout over a 35 yr old receiver looking to retire soon...... Never.

Two things can be true. Thielen could have been content playing with us. Yet, when the Vikings opportunity materialized, he had a preference. Doesn’t mean it’s an indictment of the Panthers. Keep in mind:

1) The opportunity arose because the Vikings WR room suddenly became depleted for the early season. In August, Addison was handed a suspension and Nailor went under the knife.

2) Thielen is from Minnesota. He maintains a home there. They signed him as a UDFA when no one else wanted him. His best years were there. He played 9 years there and now has a chance to retire there.

I firmly agree that he was worth more to us than to anyone else.The Coker injury only reinforces that. Unfortunately, Minnesota means more to Thielen than anywhere else which really hurt our leverage. 

At least there’s the cap savings. Losing that negotiation point would have been a disaster.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
