Panthers bring back Ian Thomas

[Ricky Spanish]

Dude got outplayed by a rookie and we made him the 16th highest paid TE in the league.

Do those take into account blocking, or are they just receptions/catch percentage/yards/TDs?

It's everything involved in playing the position.

WRs can get dinged for half assing a blocking assignment. TEs get judged on both blocking and receiving.

It's also worth noting there's no guarantee Thomas sees the field. Don't put it past Matt Rhule to draft a tight end from Baylor, or a defensive end from Baylor, and move him to TE, cut Thomas and eat the cap.

This also tells me the Panthers have more than one bad tight end, but it's not like tight ends are the end-all, be-all anyway. Plenty of bad coaches, quarterbacks, offensive linemen, defensive linemen, linebackers and defensive backs as well.

I'm racking my brain as whether Rhule is really this freaking incompetent or is he actively trying to sabotage this team.  Dude may be double dipping.  Tepper is paying $70 million to be the HC and someone else is paying him $$$$ to make completely dumbass decisions.  Arthur Blank, perhaps?

Uh oh.

Just got an update on Thomas from the Athletic

He must have enrolled in a graduate course at Temple or Baylor
