There were reports during TC, the Panthers were limiting AT reps. Two ways to view- give the young guys growth OR AT has lost another step or two and looking more like a role player at 35 years old.

His wife was dead set on the move. So then was AT and the kids Im sure too.

Tmac took all the targets/snaps/reps and so far it looks like the right move. 

Panthers had 9-10 WRs to fit on 6-7 roster space. 

Panthers got good draft value from a guy that needed to retire at last seasons end. 

Dan/Brad have won 3 trades now....props

If you look at what Thielen said about the currently benched Warrior in a Garden up in Minnesota, pretty clear he’s just a company guy with a mic in his face. 

 

Who would be a company man when the millions/pounds are flowing to your account??

Just common sense.

Of course I'm paraphrasing if you heard the interview he backed Dan in to a corner. Could have been a threat to retire vs saying he'd be a jerk. Either way he forced Dan's hand and I'm sure the Vikings were fully aware 

 

Yep. At the end of the day, good riddance to the Thielens. I'm just tired of everyone acting like they are great people or something

He was good at giving Bryce a target that wasn't moving and that's why they worked so well together. AT was great at finding the hole in the defense and sitting in it, but he did nothing after the catch. He is a good number 3 but he is not a number 1 reciever and as long as Bryce is the QB, he would be featured as one.

He was our best YAC guy in 2023 and 4th in 2024(behind Hubbard, Sanders, Coker).

He was a great and productive WR for us because he knows how to play the game, he had a connection with Bryce specifically and our other options have largely been atrocious.

I thought so at the time as well. Of course if the rookies/Legette keep developing than maybe not. At least they got a fourth and fifth round draft pick out of it and the saved 7 million as the Vikings picked up his contract.

My guess is that it cost us in early games, especially with Coker and Sanders out.  But if the QB does get in sync with the younger/new guys, that it could work out well in the end.

Not sure I would say lacking him specifically cost us games. Those losses were very much a team effort. 

The AT impact would be more so along the lines of not dropping the passes that TMac has or just generally being a more reliable panic outlet for Bryce. 

Ultimately Bryce has to get some chemistry with non-AT players. That is starting to happen and that's a positive thing overall.

No doubt he wouldn't have helped much against Jacksonville or NE, but football like most sports is a game of almost.  One or two clutch catches on that last drive against AZ, and maybe we complete the comeback.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
