“He's worked hard. He's just never been able to get over the hump,” Panthers general manager Marty Hurney said. “Then he's had concurrent issues. He's been listed as questionable the last two weeks with a back injury.

“We met with Jeff over the last couple of days and decided that the best thing to do was to put him on IR so he could concentrate on strengthening the knee and essentially taking an 11-week loss for long-term, future gain.”

Quote:

“There's no recipe on how long it takes for an injury to come back, especially a knee injury to a person of Jeff's size and a big offensive tackle. Every individual, every injury is different. So I think it's hard to go into length of time,” Hurney said.

Hurney said not being able to rehab at the team's facility during the lockout also might have affected Otah's recovery. But Hurney said he thinks the long-term outlook for Otah, 25, remains positive.

“I think we're confident and I think he's confident that he can work and get it strong, and the future will be bright.”

Well thanks for making me look like a jackass for defending you.

No, you are making yourself look like a jackass becuase you are being a jackass.

How about somebody comes and rearranges your knee and we all make fun of you and call you a pussy?

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, now it's going to get awkward.  The team circles pay attention to all this stuff.  All the wives and girlfriends see the posts.  They all talk like everyone.  Football is just a normal world outside of the fact they play a game for lots of money.  Gossip travels. They know the Theilen's want out at this point.  Carolina is now the disappointed failed trade location.    So now AT takes sort of an inhouse hit in Carolina IMO

      Ummm... The dude looked like he was about 180 pounds soaking wet with us (I don't care what his listed weight was/is) - he would have been destroyed in the run game even more than our current and past crappy ILBs. The problem is we primarily play 3-4 or nickel/dime - there is little room on the field for him because he isnt an edge LB blitzer and he can't cover for crap. The only thing he can do kind of well is be an in-the-box safety that can try and beat blockers to the spot because of his athleticism. Washington was able to make him work last year because they used him solely as an in-the-box safety and almost exclusively ran a single high FS. The funny thing is they had good yards/game stats against the pass despite most of their secondary having embarrassingly low PFF grades. Washington was also terrible against the run, which might explain why they gave up so few yards passing.

      Just get the deal done. We've teased it so much that the Thielen's expect it. Now we run the risk of our veteran WR locker room presence becoming disgruntled. Just take what we can get, make him happy, and get future assets while freeing up snaps for guys who will be here beyond this season.
