We tried to sign Jacoby Jones, he chose Baltimore. Fail.

No, from what I remember, we brought him in for a visit. I never recall hearing of an actual offer. Money talks. I'm sure our staff were just checking him out but were completely happy with Armanti and Co. regardless.

We brought Donnie Avery in last year too and let him walk...

All it proves is that blocking has MUCH more of an importance on returns. Holliday sucked with Texans. Awesome with Denver.

Umm, didn't Holliday return one for a TD against us in the preseason while he was with the Texans?

Point remains, we could've used either guy but sat on our hands.

We need to quit trying to turn players into something they're not and get a real return man instead.

We drafted one of the best. Turns out he sucks.

I'm not gonna lie, I am surprised Adams turned out to be as bad as he's been... Or at least not good. Wonder if it's a confidence issue, but regardless, I did not think of him as an ideal return man when we drafted him. He was good, but there were better.

Yeah, against a crappy ST unit.

What else did Holliday do for the Texans? Absolutely nothing. Which is why they cut him. Turns out it had more to do with blocking than Holliday.

You could have brought Hester in and outside of maybe this year, he would have done nothing on our ST unit. Our returner was getting hit as soon as he touched the football.

      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.
