No matter how many times you ask, they still only allow 11 guys per team on the field at one time.

Got 5 guys on the line at all ties.

No one is taking Cam out.

CMC is out there every play.

Greg Olsen is in on almost every play.

You're going to have WR1 and WR2 on every play (should be Samuel and Moore).

That leaves on spot open for rotating in a player for the Panthers. Most times there's Wright as a slot receiver (Funchess could do well here if he can get over the drops). Armah makes a strong case on running downs and pass protecting. Manhertz has shown he's a good blocker. 

You just run into the problem that sent CJ Anderson packing... there just aren't enough spaces on the field for good players. Ian's got potential but where do you work him in with Olsen back? 

Really, on offense besides the O-line we've got one spot for a JAG player (not saying any of those are, but there are numerous good to marquis players already out there). 

Now on defense, we've got a plethora of JAGs out there and only maybe four guys that aren't replaceable by mid-level talent. Dang, that hurts me to say it, but it's true. And four is being kinda generous.

You do know Brady threw for the most yards when he had Gronk & Hernadez on the field at the same time.

They ran 2 TE set majority of the time.

5,235 yds

Dude, The Village People weren't as into two tight end sets as you are. You might want to seek professional help.

He was drafted to replace Olsen so he has the skill set.

Just need opportunites like  Samuel & Moore. 

BTW the point was that having 2 TEs on the field creates more dangerous offense than having a #3WR. 

No it doesn’t.  It depends on how good the players you have at the position are.

We have electric young talent in Moore and Samuel, we have proven chain-movers in Olsen, CMC, and Wright, one of the best run games in the NFL, and yet people are complaining that we aren’t throwing it to our #2 TE more? There are only so many mouths to feed...y’all really just like to complain about everything, it’s ridiculous.

Gotta say I like that FunFun didn't make your list.
