Heres the deal- I do not believe that twatter source. * I do believe the panthers are taking and maybe making calls about TMJ.

In a recent Rhule presser, he put public pressure on TMJ. Along the lines " We need to see him practice very soon, it's TIME." Seems like the training staff have told him TMJ is ready and TMJ feels like hes not 100%........ pure guess, both Rhule rarely goes public with a statement like that.

Another layer is Joe Brady. Brady's influence for both Derrick Brown and TMJ becoming panthers was a big part of the reason. TMJ may not have the toughness Rhule is sooooo fond of. Some WRs have to be 100% in order to play, or feel like they cannot perform....mental game deal. CMC spoke that TMJ looked totally different, as well. If the best WR in the league is never healthy, what good is he? If a late 2nd WR needs to be 100% for any work, what good is he when the whole league plays hurt??

I think Marshall was a Brady pick because of the LSU connection .  He may have talent but you can not' make the club from the tub .  Its sad for Marshall  ,but Rhule was not the problem .   The best players should play regardless of draft position .   He is taking a spot that others have worked hard for and not had injury problems  .  Some team might take a chance on him , but we are not in a position to let him sit .

Soft tissue injuries are so iffy. It's just hard to trust it unless it feels new. I pulled a hammy that took 3 months to recover from, and about 95% healed I pulled it again. Not saying that's the case but I understand wanting it to feel perfect.

Joe Brady wasn't making the calls on our draft picks.  Or our free agents.  People keep acting like Joe Brady was all powerful and had all this authority.   The things by some early this offseason was to blame Joe Brady somehow for bringing in Sam Darnold based on nothing outside of wanting to deflect away from Rhule. 

He was newb OC who Matt Rhule didn't even trust to run our offense.

DJ Moore played most of 2021 injured. Smitty played with alllllll sort of injuries including broke arm. Like you I got no clue, speculating and all. Just with the Rhule comments, its feels like a battle is going on between Rhule/docs/trainers vs TMJ/agent/crew.... 

Healthiest any player is day 1 of OTAs, after that its down hill. Playing with pain, its a big part of being a NFL player. Maybe TMJ needs to retire and pick up track and field.....

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
