This is going to be the Seventh year with this guy...SEVEN!! 

It just dawned on me that Ian Thomas is the 3rd longest tenured player on offense/defense, only behind Taylor Moton and Shaq Thompson (4th if you include special teams' JJ Jansen).

In fairness he hasn’t had a great environment with how many different ineffective QBs throwing to him. Even Cam, it was his decline and never got any better after with the others. Still hasn’t. 

How many different OCs and position coaches? Oh well, he has a few games to turn that around while Sanders is marinating.

Yeah, it is the same story every year with him, so I expect nothing from him once the games start.  Hell, even Tremble makes poo happen in actual games with way less touches and opportunities...

 But, I will say this...  I think it's entirely possible that the staffs just did not know how to utilize TEs AT ALL in games, and maybe he will finally put it together under one like Canales, that does.  Just like I said earlier in the offseason that Tremble is a damn good football player, he just needed the opportunities...  I still maintain that as of today, Tremble is the best TE on the roster and has enormous potential...  but the fact that Greg Olsen still vouches for Thomas to this day tells you it's not just smoke.  He knows if a guy can play or not...  and think about how bad other guys on offense have looked the last few years because of how dysfunctional everything was.  

When it comes to Thomas, I'm not holding my breath.  But I also won't be surprised if he comes out of nowhere with a crazy productive year.

Ian Thomas, training camp HOFer.

Well, I know that if our rookie doesn't beat this dude out(over the season), we got another wasted pick on our hands. 

I know that if Canales buys into this BS, we got another bust coach on our hands.

This is one of the most predictable things in every Panthers pre-season. Ian Thomas somehow convincing coaches that he is an NFL player.

The thing that has always impressed me most about him is his inability to ever gain any yardage after contact. 

The thing that has always impressed me is how he’s regarded as a great blocker (that’s why we rewarded him with a 2nd deal) and yet every blocking highlight is when he gets beat like a drum by DBs and edge rushers.

This also comes back to our good friend Fitt. He traded, drafted and signed FAs so well that that talent drain has left Thomas to stand out because there’s nothing else. Who on offense has he had to outshine? Tremble? Darnold, Corral and Young? Hubbard and Sanders? Chark? Marshall and Mingo? We traded away DJ and CMC. We’ve never replaced Cam. Brooks hasn’t arrived yet. Legette’s been dealing with his hammy so far. Between the trades and health of the rookies, all you have to do is catch a ball or like Corral did, throw a ball into a net to get noticed.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
