So...with Olsen out Ian Thomas had been the starter...anyone want to tell me why he had less snaps than Manhertz? Less targets too..

The only thing I can figure is that his route miscommunications that led to two INTs vs. the Giants led to him getting leapfrogged by the vet.

    I would say it has something to do with the 2 miscommunications with Cam last week. Rookies make mistakes, but 2 in 1 game? And in crucial situations. (Yeah, we're watching you DJ.) Although they let DJ make amends for his mistakes. So it is interesting they did not let Thomas make up for his.

 

    Or...in b4 "Rivera hates him some rookies".

Could it be that Greg Olsen is the catching TE is back and hence Ian THomas who is also a catching TE is on the bench, Manhertz is the blocking TE, 

yea,this is what i was thinking.  We use second TE for blocking

Rivera said that young talent was not on the field due to "schemes."  So weaponry like Thomas and Samuel rode the pine while Manhertz and Wright failed to achieve mediocrity. 

I  was very happy to see us go back to Moore  after the fumbles.  Steve Smith, as a rookie, had 8 fumbles--we lost 3 of them. The following 2 seasons, he fumbled 5 times each season.  After that, he averaged just over 1 fumble per season for the next 13 years.

Yes, I remember that.  It was definitely a wtf moment.  I guess they were thinking it would surprise the defense, but imo, might as well throw it to me.  

 

Yeah, like how Shula would line Cam up at WR once a game and the RB would take a direct snap for a two yard loss. They'll never see it coming!

What fuging scheme? And what team in the NFL sits there playmakers do to scheme for a game? 

So Torrey Smith is more suitable for most schemes in the nfl then curtis samuel?? 

Its really becoming harder and harder to take serious the bull poo that comes out Riveras mouth. He blamed the damn weather too. .......GTFOH

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
