Panthers sign TE Dan Arnold

[BPF]

Hope he can put the myth of us not wanting to or knowing how to use a TE to rest. Also, hope it puts a fire beneath Ian and he gets better as well.

I just finished watching Money Ball so this now seems like an amazing life changing signing.

Only about 20 less receiving yards than the guys the Patriots gave 12m a year lol.

Cool.  I like it, but can we feed this man some spinach?  Scratch that, a box of doughnuts...

Ok, this is nice little signing. 26 yrs old, cheap and stretches the field. Averaged 14.1 yards per catch and had 24 1st downs. Looks like we're using analytics in this FA. I'm really loving this free agency so far. This is the most interesting and exciting FA I can recall. I would say even if there aren't any really flashy signings but I think it's actually BECAUSE there aren't any flashy signings and instead look intelligently designed to improve depth and add specific productivity at an affordable price. This is exactly how I think a smart organization is supposed to treat the off season. Are we watching Moneyball here? I'm feeling something strange and unfamiliar. Is it hope?

Pretty productive actually.  It's just odd seeing a TE that light outside of high school.  Serioulsy, if the dude has a mean streak, he doesn't need to be 250 to be an effective blocker.  Look at Smitty; for 5'9" and 180 pounds, he could block dudes much bigger than him.

I don't think they brought him here to block. He's here to attack the middle of the field for 1st downs and stop teams from concentrating on the outside only. He should give our offense another dimension that we were lacking last season. Solid pick up.

He's going to have to block some.  The team isn't going to trot him on the field only in 3rd and long situations.  Grated, he's a pass cathcing TE, but even those guys have to do some dirty work now and again.
