t96

it's short and only 16m/yr https://www.spotrac.com/nba/rankings/cap-hit// look at the players around him and those with bigger contracts than him, plenty of guys I take PJ over in a heartbeat and he is still young with potential. He averaged over 15pts/game last year on ok %s, is solid defensively and on the boards, even if he doesn't get any better, this contract is not an issue and easily tradeable if need be. He may be better off the bench but there are plenty of guys who do come off the bench making more so that wouldn't make it a bad contract. And as is I think this should be our starting 5: PG: LaMelo SG: Miller SF: Miles PF: PJ C: Mark

Awesome contract, even if we wanted to move him before it’s up he’s a valuable asset in a trade on this contract.

Hate it for him and us but he’s not an NFL caliber backup even

Thielen is such a sick red zone guy, I could see him catching half of Bryce’s TD passes

I’ll take the full season sample size of games that matter over under 50 snaps in games that don’t matter… if it stretches into the 2nd month of the regular season I’ll start getting worried.

Chark was 27th in yards as the defacto number 1 on a bad Jags team that played from behind a ton and had pretty terrible WRs, sure he "made the pro bowl" but considering a guy like Tyler Huntley has also made a pro bowl I don't consider that to mean anything. Chark is a solid deep threat when healthy but I wouldn't say he's much more than that. Important skillset to have but Thielen moves the chains and gets TDs and is an incredible route runner. Out of the slot that is way more important to this team than Chark. And while Mingo will probably have growing pains, he has the overall skillset to be a legit #1 WR and has already been earning Bryce's trust as his favorite target throughout camp. I view that as more important to this season than Chark as well. Due to rookie growing pains a healthy Chark could maybe have more of an impact on the field immediately but Mingo will easily surpass him given time. I'm super high on Mingo though

one of my favorite non-Panthers players of all time and I'd kill to see him in a Panthers jersey even at 40 after 10 years of retirement. but not gonna happen

he never did poo with the jets though... like 200-300 yards a year there despite plenty of opportunity. if Fhule was still here being a Baylor guy maybe but I don't see any reason to bring that dude in

Not saying he'll be as good as Metcalf or Brown (his fellow Ole Miss alum and comps) necessarily but I can see him matching or even exceeding those guys' rookie year production... 900 yards/7 TDs for DK, 1051 yards/8 TDs for Brown

Chark is an important cog but I think Mingo and Thielen are our 2 more important WRs

Lol his “evidence” backing up “the Panthers not being too thrilled with having gotten Young” is some gym meathead and his wife. What a retarded segment

it was really quiet but I briefly heard them talking about the riot kickoff jam and CJ and TD being there

Voth has ALWAYS hedged when it comes to expectations for this team. That's his MO.

the good news is Bryce has looked the part despite the poo around him

I never bought the superstar staff narrative but I think it's a little ridiculous to attempt to judge coaching in the preseason

why the fug did we take bryce out?

well if Bryce is gonna get roughed like that that's the best way lol brushed in the facemask.

Damn what a beautiful 3rd down play. Bryce and Thielen both with the veteran wisdom there

I think Mingo is going to be Bryce's favorite target come season end to be honest.

good poo Bryce and Mingo. Finally

Mingo gotta catch that

There are 2 posts in that thread about the game today lol

Come on dudes why aren't we discussing this game already? How much will Bryce/starters play? Predictions, bold or otherwise?

With Lewis' account I believe he's a close childhood friend of Sean Tuohy, worth noting regarding his defense of the Tuohy family.

It's a fair point that the publicity from the movie likely did increase the value of Sean Tuohy's business, but I'm not sure what right Oher thinks he would have to any of that increase in value... Tuohy I believe sold his business a few years ago for $200M, not sure what it would've been worth before the movie but by all accounts it was very successful before they even met Oher anyways. Regarding the conservatorship, it being in place is definitely weird and strange but the question is has the family used it to actually make decisions for Oher or take any of the money he has earned? From what I've read it doesn't seem like it. The family claims it was in put in place early due to some NCAA rules (not sure what those could possibly be...) and in practice hasn't been "used" at all since then. The not adopting him officially if he thought they had is certainly questionable and would cause me to lose trust in them too if I were Oher.
