#2 TE Manhertz will finally get the reps to showcase his talent.

 

Bring up Armah who can actually play FB and let Dickson play the receiving role

Dickson has done a great job as FB/TE but now we be the #1 TE. Need to bring up Armah but who knows what is the plan.

My list of teams with elite 100% healthy tight ends:

Kansas City 

That's it. Gronk ain't playing 16. Half of teams are going to win every week anyway. Amazing I know.  

Olsen is one of the best ever but we can still win. 

P.S.  does Shula suck? Yes. Yes he does.

so many people convinced by a few catches in 2 games after the guy has graded out as one of the very worst players in the NFL (not just worst TEs, but worst players) over his Panthers career.

Dickson can be good enough, along with a little more production from the WR's. Nobody, including Dickson, is saying he can do what Olsen does though. Think about it. We have a group of KB, Funchess, Shepard, Samuel, Dickson,  Byrd, and either a new guy or a guy like Armah or Hodges who is called up from the PS to collectively make up for the 5-6 plays a game that usually go to Olsen. That should be very doable.

My feelings on both Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney are well known...

But...

As has been discussed on here before, you don't fix a short-term problem with a long-term solution.

Olsen is only expected to be out 6 to 8 weeks. While that hurts, it's still only temporary, so a trade or a permanent free agent signing isn't necessarily practical.

Just going to leave that there. 

probably already understood by most, but expecting dickson to take olsen's place or going without someone to take olsen's place is changing up everything.

who is going to fill in for dickson with if we use dickson to fill in for olsen?

at least get bucky activated and see what he can do. i guess he's got to learn the offense, but so will anyone else we bring in.

olsen is an integral part of what we do and if he's not there and defenses don't have to account for him then that changes everything.

dickson blocks. if we don't have him blocking (and we need all the help we can get, apparently) then who is gong to do it?

maybe we go in max protect all the time with 6 linemen and just keep moton on the field? sure, we sacrifice one possible receiving option but if cam keeps getting pummeled we're going to have to go with DA and nobody wants that (at least nobody whose opinion matters).

we have to do one of two things to keep some semblance of consistency (which is apparently the only thing that rivera cares about...which is also a huge problem in itself) then we either have to get armah active as a blocker taking dickson's place there or get bucky active as a pass a catching TE to take olsen's place.

this is an opportunity to develop one or two players and make this team stronger. rivera absolutely has to take advantage of this opportunity.
