We blaming TE’s now?

The TEs are who I thought they would be.

The problem is Rhule/Fitt and their attempt to force a square peg into a round hole with Thomas.

This team would have Hunter Henry, Dan Arnold, and Jelani Woods at TE right now (Also, Andrew Booth CB and Desmond Ridder) if I got my way in the draft. Instead, we got Vernon Butler, CJ Henderson, Tommy Tremble and Sam Darnold while wasting space and time with Thomas and Sullivan.

The moves for this team have been disappointing.

Not the root cause but our TE room is not good. Tremble is a fullback playing TE. Ricci  is a decent blocker that gets open because nobody covers him, and Ian Thomas is well below average. 

This franchise has usually always done well in the TE group. Walls, Mangum, Olsen, Dickson. 

I would rather have King, Rosario, or Barnidge than these guys.

Don’t mention Kris Mangums name with these clowns

Couldn't really say much about blocking but all I remember about Mangum was him bobbling the few touchdowns he caught. Then again, Henning was pretty much the anti-McAdoo and kept forgetting that tight ends were legally allowed to catch a ball.

I looked real hard...there must be a typo because Ian Thomas is not listed as a top 32 TE.  Wait, there are 32 teams but the Panthers don't have a player listed?  That can't be correct.  Pfffft...lol, I've been saying our TE room is a joke.  Here is 11-32, no need to do the top 10 because we know Thomas isn't there.  Some teams, like the Browns, have TWO TEs that made the list.  OUCH!

Panthers TEs absent in rankings

FYI, I was willing to draft Goedert, Andrews, Gesicki or Hurst that 2018 draft.  Beating the damn drum for Goedert, but any of them I was willing to take.  Now look at these dudes: Andrews #2, Goedert #7, Gesicki #10 and Hurst #22.  I had them ranked that draft: Goedert#1, Andrews#2, Hurst#3 and Gesicki#4.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
