Anybody else interested in seeing what this kid can show us on Sunday with Smith sitting out? I know a lot of people on here think he's pure garbage, but I don't think he has problems that are impossible to fix or that he has zero potential. He's the biggest wide receiver we have on the roster, and I would really like to see if we can make him work out for us. I really wish he had brought down that TD catch against Houston. I think that would have changed some minds around here about his potential. What do you guys think? Am I alone on this?

That pass he dropped in Houston is the kind of play that I think we need help on though. I know Lafell has shown that he can go out to the corner in the redzone, but I feel that that element of our redzone offense is still lacking. If Lafell can improve in that role, then I guess we can just forget all of this, but I would really like to see us work on that aspect. More touchdowns isn't a bad thing. I think Tutu could be a redzone threat if he improves (yeah, I know), especially with Cam throwing the ball. If he gets cut though, it wouldn't think of it as an unreasonable move either.

No I don't want to see more of Tutu. I have much less patience for a veteran player trying to make a team. Like Murphy, he came in immediately and made an impact. Tutu is going on his 2nd year as a Panther and I've given up on waiting for him to make an impact. I want to see more of Lamont Bryant at 6'5" 225 lbs, Jared Green at 6'1" 180 lbs and Kealoha Pilares. I'd also like a look at our other WR's like: Wallace, Bersin and Avila, although I think that Avila is more of a returner, but I'd like to see what he can do in both situations. I think it would be wise if we could get a look at these guys before the 1st cut on the 27th, the day after our game.

The staff is slow to give up on him for the reasons pointed out by the OP. He is a nice, big, red zone target.

We all know Smitty is great, but he doesn't help us much down close. LaFell has shown a flash here and there (talking about the RZ here, not elsewhere on the field), and the same can be said for Olsen. None of these guys have proven to be reliable targets yet down close.

We have a great running game in the red zone, and that has kept this issue from coming to the forefront, but I'm sure Chud would salivate at having that one big reliable target to go to when the run defense stiffens.

His separation this year is not bad but he has dropped a couple of passes.I think this next game will be telling with Smith recovering.This week will be telling for all our wrs

Tutu has endless amounts of potential!

Think of him as a young T.O. without all the opportunities.

Not sure if his potential will pan out, but im perfectly fine seeing him with a lil more playing time in the games that don't count!

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
