I didn’t watch, how did JT Sanders look?

[frankw]

Considering the wasteland that the TE position has become here over the years outside of Olsen he's doing alright.

But when he's your leading receiver that's a damning sight.

Trade AT and Diontae Johnson for whatever you can get at this point.

I said that last year when I focused on him.  He was slow to react and not a good blocker--if he were, he'd play some Hback and help block edge rushers or he'd lead on ISO--we don't do that.

AT is not coming back regardless--offer him an extension, and if he does not take it, shop him.  This business of announcing a player is not for sale when that player is a cornerstone of a franchise that has won 3 games since August 2023 is ridiculous.  

Apparently the QB position at Carolina is haunted--we should not have laughed at Darnold.  But when your QB sees ghosts, who ya gonna call?

Sorry.

To me, he looked like his head is still spinning. Once he gets some experience and doesn't have to think so much, maybe he'll look more than JAG. There haven't been any real flashes of dominance in my opinion.

We need a dude like Kelce... he wants to prove hes the best all the time...and he does.. that is the mentality that is missing on this team...we have pzzys...

He has above average hands, seems find soft spots in the defense, but nobody is going to mistake him for a WR after the catch.

Thomas is garbage. Sanders should get 1000% more reps over Thomas. 

They are both garbage cut them both sign practice squad players maybe they get lucky how much worse could they be.

Thomas is a survivor. Like the cockroaches under the fridge surviving and atomic blast kind of guy. 

His greatest strength is his ability to have his name turn invisible on the chart when they are looking to make cuts. He's made a heck of a career out of being on the depth chart without attracting attention. 

Just astounding.

He is even more perplexing than Brenton Bersin.

Probably a perfect #2 TE.  His blocking has been better than I thought

He's a 21 year old rookie. If we can give Thomas damn near a decade of playing time we might want to give the kid a chance before we jettision him.

I was wondering the same thing actually. I heard he was a blocker but Ive seen some pretty bad attempts at blocking from him so far.

Seriously...? Sanders is a rookie and shows signs that he can develop into a regular contributor and you want to cut him now not even half way through the season in his rookie year?
