Is he yet another guy who we would give big $$ to and then peace out? This is all a part of getting the right kind of people locked up long term. Robbie Anderson part. 2. He’s obviously talented so why did the Steelers let him go? If we can get at least a first, I’d seriously consider. I don’t like giving someone that’s iffy big $$$. Robbie. Anderson.

And we have a winner!!! But for real, it just 1.

Please don’t panthers this one up. No stopgap washed up has been. Just roll with what we’ve got. Keep our draft capital.

X needs to do whatever Chuba did to improve his pass catching. Dude REALLY put in work and it’ll prob bank him at least a couple more million come contract time.

Healthy Thielen and we win by 10. We keep their o off the field for 5 fewer minutes and we don’t have nearly as many 3rd and longs. You could tell in Andy’s reads that he didn’t like what he saw. It ran clunky. Old panthers ish. Everything looked harder. Plus side is X now has the pressure of his first start behind him. Now it’s time to grow. More I think of it, the more I like the idea of growing young talent under a Jedi master, building it up and then letting handing over to the hopefully future QB. We don’t need the blind leading the blind. So also this, do people have any idea how freaking fortunate this team is to have both Thielen and Dalton? Knowledge. You couldn’t get more fundamentally sound dudes. That’s who I want mentoring our young guys.

The most important position group on the team got real help for the first time since, ever. Dan is building it right with the right people.

The last LB from a better era of Panthers football. Speedy recovery Shaq.

I could see that as well, especially if we can’t stay healthy at LB. But like I said, a top 5 I’m not sure really benefits us. I’d really rather go stud DE in the first round. Let him develop with Andy at QB where there is a chance of the other team playing from behind. Andy plays a key roll in developing talent on D with his ability to keep the offense rolling. It’s tough to learn anything when the other team is up 3 scores and they spend the entire second half running it down your throat.

I’m glad we never gave him that third game. How bad is it when we underestimate just how damn bad Bryce could play. We all expected to see at least something. I think we’ll pick at 8.

Andy looks like he warms up with 185 and reps 225. Bryce looks like he warms up with the bar and max is 155. Maybe. Andy is 6’2 220. One is a football player. One makes his teammates feel like they’re at their grandma’s funeral. Forget oceans 11, how this elaborate scam was pulled off is beyond human comprehension.

Bravo. my takes: 1. Please don’t panthers this one up. No big name overhyped FA who comes here to retire. These moves set us back further every year. Keep the staff intact, keep Evero for at least 2 more years to build the right way. Draft young. No tweeners. No projects. Just honest to God football players. 2. We are no longer the laughing stock, get right game for other teams, and that feels really, really good. 3. I wouldn’t say we’re bad. I’d call it not good… but that’s an ok place to be as long as momentum is in the right direction. I’m actually really ok with being not good. All it took was a QB change to go from F it, burn it to the ground, to I actually want to watch this stuff. Amazing.

It’s the fact that he lacks any true physical NFL ability, and would rather play video games than improve…. I would be flabbergasted if anyone came calling. The Sean Gilbert deal… at least he was a football player.

Big, fast accurate guys with big arms typically have a game that translate well to the NFL. He looks like he is an all out dude.

6 for 66 yards and an end zone TD catch in traffic. Not too shabby. Right now, he’s still feeling his way. It’ll come.

He is perfect for the job. He is playing well, throwing beautiful TD passes and having a good time. The line has played well. I’m not deluded in thinking it’ll be this way the rest of the season, but we have real, legit talent throughout the offense so I really don’t think it’s fools gold. This will be a potent offense this year.

Absolutely correct in all points. He’s not a young guy, he’s not the future long term, but his game is still more than adequate until he proves that it’s not. Some of y’all just need to enjoy the ride.

I can accept that. I have found his number of these types of mistakes to be far below what most other QBs have had. His accuracy helps him in this regard. What I’m seeing is a smart and accurate QB with a good line, good arm and good receivers…. is good stuff.

is a good QB defined subjectively (how he looks/feels/unmeasurable attributes) or objectively (data driven, measurables, etc).

Very fair statement.

Intent of this topic is not to mull over how he stacks up in the NFL or his longevity. It was really just asking, what flaws people have noticed in his game.

It was way out of sync

He really has a very complete game. Arm strength, accuracy, pocket awareness, sneaky elusive, leadership….But the biggest thing: bro is cerebral. He reads the defense very quickly, quickly goes through his progressions, delivers a great ball with great mechanics and just does not make a bad decision. Maybe a handful of times where he got away with something over the last 3 starts but nothing egregious. I can’t think of a glaring weakness or somewhere he really needs to up his game. He is far from being a JAG. He’s a very complete QB and under appreciated. He’s not Mahomes, Brady or Brees, but Andy will win you football games. With Thielen, this team puts 14 more points on the board today. He’s got that old man strong.

The respect defenses have for Thielen is criminally under appreciated. Teams know he WILL get open at critical moments and he WILL CATCH THE BALL. Missing him is why we were in 3rd and long so much. They respect Johnson but know X is a rookie. We have not shown a TE threat. Adam and Andy are in lock with each other. I threw a ton of shade at Canales and I will 100% admit how wrong I was. I really like the guy but God was BY poison.

Peoples’ expectations… Smitty was a body catcher as well, just saying. Smitty had Prohel, X has Thielen. X seems very teachable. His routes today were pretty crisp. This was a BIG moment today for big country. Sometimes we can get in to our own head. It would be pretty cool for everyone to scream X!!! When dude makes a big play. Get his confidence going. Jury is out on Mingo. Last year was a complete disaster. I’m willing to see what he’s got this season. He seems to like trucking dudes.

XL is raw and we all knew it. He’s not ready to be the #2 guy yet and I think the moment was too big for him. He’s still a rook and you can tell he’s thinking too much. Body catches can be coached. He’s got Thielen and Andy mentoring him. He couldn’t ask for more.
