I will say, we don't have any world beaters but a very complimentary TE room.  

I've been of the impression Ian Thomas severely skewed how people thought of guys that have been respectable in their time here.    

For context- 3 of Tremble's first 4 touches in the NFL were TDs.  The 1 remaining of 4 was a chunk play.  10 TDs in 4 years as our TE2 is not bad, especially considering the coaching and personnel over that time.  And he's made impact plays when called upon.  I have never got the hate on him outside of sharing a room with Ian.  He never elevated to his high round 3 pick, but he's been good enough for how we've used him.

JT looked solid at the end of last year but he's really just a receiving type.  But he showed up in that final ATL win.  I don't know what to think of him yet but he's an alright option to have even if he doesn't turn out to be a top receiving TE.  

Mitch can play all 3 TE spots though.  He's of the LaPorta and Kraft mold which I love. 

Sanders more like a Musgrave, Tremble more like a B Strange.  We'll see but I'm hopeful.  Evans is the type that could free up a roster spot long term and add some disguise-ability to our offense if he can become our TE1.

Yesterday he had all of one reception for 21 yards against a downy soft Dallas defense missing most of its good players. 

He turned upfield and immediately fell down. 

But sure he’s “doing good things.”

He played 58% of our snaps.  I suggest you check it back out.  The catch was fine, but it's what he's doing in the run game that's helping out in 12 personnel.  Him and Tremble did work.

Dallas’ linebackers are worse than the panthers. 

I didn’t realize he thrived at blocking children.

Give me good blockers that catch everything. JT Sanders is a step back in blocking and hands from what we’ve saw from Evans so far. JT is a plus athlete, so is XL. But not being a fundamentally sound football player would limit your role on my team.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
