'Ole Mister Reliable looks like he's going to show it to the NFL with a first in league history by being the first TE to ever go for 1,000 yards in 3 straight seasons. He has 790 yards right now with 5 games to go, that's just 42 yards per game needed to get be the first and only TE to do this. Gronk had a chance to do it this year as well but he's had various injuries all season and now is out for the rest of it with a back injury. Gronk and Greg are certainly the best two tight ends in the league right now. I will admit, when healthy, Gronk is easily the best. Much better blocker in both pass pro and run blocking than Greg, and is a more dominant receiver. But the only thing that's been consistent throughout his career is that he'll be injured at some point. Greg really is the best, most reliable TE in the league right now. One of the few bright spots this season, despite the back breaking drop in Oakland and a slower pace than he started the year on.

Would be a nice win for Panther nation if he gets it. Seems to be trending that way. 

If you're a fan of football you have to like Gronks style. Unfortunately his style doesn't bode well for longetivy in the NFL. Reckless abandon is fun to watch but hell on the body.

Get him a young rookie to mentor & take some of the unecessary load off him and allow him to make the bigger plays.

      Oh I went off and fully entertained my wife last night as my emails go to her phone as well because of my health. So she got the whole conversation as it happened.    Like I went to games in Detroit for the cup finals, I've been to games in Greensboro, Raleigh, and Chicago as well. My mom and her nurse friend double dated one of the players from when the team was in Greensboro. "He's still with the team in some compacity as well." I know people who work for the team at the arena as well. How the hell would I not be considered a fan. Only reason I haven't gone to a game since 2022 is because of my health and money situation. Last game I went to was at United Center in Chicago and me and my wife spent around 1k for glass seats and some food at the arena and we were next to the penalty box. The pictures of the hurricane players I took are lost because my phone crapped out a few weeks later.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      The Falcons win was a fantastic way to end the season and I think just about every Panthers fan would agree the team the coaching staff and particularly Bryce Young were impressive. We really needed that. Credit where it's due. At the same time. Now we have to establish it wasn't just a flash in the pan. We had one of those earlier in the season against the Raiders. As a tortured Panthers fan I have to acknowledge that. I know you're joking but in all seriousness I don't think the QB sneak is something for us to be concerned about in general but I would be lying to myself if I did not acknowledge that looking back at one particular game last season where we continually trotted out Eddie Pinero on 4th and short on the opponents side of the field we could use some creativity in those situations and it's also a matter of predictability. As time goes on it's something for Canales to work on and figure out. Especially with our kicker situation as it stands.
