Panthers sign Adam Thielen

[Sam the Cat]

Whoever we pick...it seems more likely Young than Stroud now...they want to win now mode...

2022 Thielen + Sanders + Hurst = 2477 yds 19 TDs

2022 DJ + Foreman + CMC (6 games) = 2498 yds 15 TDs

It sucked to lose DJ, a fan favorite, but....

• We moved from 9 --> 1
• A new franchise QB1 is finally in our sights
• A competent, loaded coaching staff at the helm
• Still room to add another WR and/or TE
• Cap flexibility in '24 (though it is starting to dwindle)

It's a great time to be a Panthers fan. Thielen will thrive here as a WR2 in '23 if he can stay healthy....probably becomes the WR3 in '24 and then is off the roster in '25.

No reason to think he can't put up 50-750-7TD next year.

Meh….

This move doesn’t excite me, rather have Chark. Thielen is at best the the third option on a good receiving core.

I know this doesn’t always mean anything, but TMJ and Adam both follow Chark on Social media. Someone on twitter said they are recent follows. Again, probably nothing.

Whooooaaaaa Uncle Ray wasn't expecting those contract details...I think the only other WR we're getting in FA would be one like Jamison Crowder

 

no body talks abt it but AAI2 is one of the best plots in  the franchise

also don't worry this still puts us in play for someone like Chark, but I rly wouldn't rule out another CB.

It really is; love how that story played out. Probably has my favorite characters out of all the versions too

I'm kind of surprised at the overjoyed reaction to this signing, but hey more power to you. I'm worried about finding a #1 WR, and the mother of all decisions coming up in the draft. 

You’re not finding a number 1 Wr in this draft especially with the 2nd round pick.. Maybe 1 develops but it won’t happen this year.. This is a weak class with most of the talented guy being slot guys and then they will be picked in the 1st round.. So let that dream go.. Or hope that TMJ takes advantage of his opportunity..

This isn’t a good WR core right now and there isn’t a can’t miss number 1 available.. Some of you need to come to grips with that..

Why are people upset with the contract? He’s still better than guys like Lazard, JuJu and Meyers and making less than them.

They don’t understand how NFL contracts work..

Dude is a 3rd WR at this point in his career. I still want them to double down on rookie WRs

Number 3 receivers don't put up stats like his. 

Y'all need to stop using fantasy thinking with real football
