New piece up over at panthers.com. I had read about this right after the draft but totally forgot about how hard his life has been. Really hope it pans out for him. He seems to have the right attitude and will do what it takes to become better.

Quote

Long before the tight end was drafted in the fourth round of this year's NFL Draft, Thomas was raised by his oldest brother after they moved in with their grandmother. It was their only option after their father died of a heart attack less than a year after their mother died of a kidney infection.

Disclaimer: I have been on the train thinking that Manhertz's injury is a blessing in disguise. Rooting for Thomas to show enough to immediately become our #2 TE.

I was very happy when we picked him. He was a guy I singled out at the Combine who really stuck out to me.

Twice before Hurney has drafted mid-rounders that I was enamored with. Josh Norman and Joe Adams, so it's been a 50/50 proposition in the past.

Hurnator is gonna win that round!

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
