Jesus, take a fuging snap first.

I think Ian Thomas’s goal was to just take a snap. And here we are. 

The young man is just vocalizing aspirations.  No harm in that

He may be a good kid, he seems to be. If he can play, okay. 

I know what he’s sayin, know what I’m, sayin”? is about what I got out of it.

I know that Cam and Olsen tore some mofos up on a regular basis. And they knew it was coming. If he can be that, all we need is someone to get him the ball.

I legit think he has Greg Olsen potential.

[Manna]

I hope he accomplishes that goal, you know what I'm sayin' 

[Aussie Tank]

Greg Olsen is very lofty target I love that mentality. I can realistically see him being a David Njoku level player though

He and Olsen both really good with seam routes, might look alot more like him than people realize.

Greg was only second to Kuechly when it came to football IQ. And that’s a close second.

Greg was literally everything you could want in a football player. Physical attributes, drive, can’t stand losing and his intelligence. He and Luke were mirror images of each other. Bro played every snap like he had something to prove.  I would argue that he was a more complete TE than Crumpler, who is probably the best TE ever in the South. NOBODY liked it when they had to cover Greg. 

I love this young man’s energy and aspirations. I hope he truly understands the gravity of his statement, and achieves it. 

Not trying to derail the conversation, but I can’t stinking believe the level of talent we had in 2015. If Greg Hardy hadn’t come unglued and kicked off the team, we go undefeated in 2015 and murder Peyton Manning.

Welp, the door is wide open.

Yes, how dare he set his goals high and his expectations of himself and his play high. That's just terrible to strive for someone who was a great Panther. Damn him!

[Ricky Prickles]

I think it's a great thing that he is setting high goals for himself and striving to be like a Panthers legend. Not one damn thing wrong with expecting a lot out of himself. To me it shows he gives a poo and we have been on some short supply of some giving a poo the past few seasons.

Olsen was a damn warrior. 

Go be a warrior kid.

At least he didn't say he wanted to be like Ian Thomas.

Hopefully he gets in the weight room and can be a blocker and receiver

You realise Tony Gonzalez played for the Falcons, right?
