Chuba had a higher average than Foreman in that same game, and that's with Foreman even breaking one. He's certainly more explosive, and has the speed to boot.

Rewrite history? I haven't rewritten anything. I've explained to you why D.J. is a WR2 and not a WR1. As for Delhomme, much like many past Panther players, some Huddlers put past Panthers on a pedestal within an historical context regarding their game play that most other NFL types would not. I believe that some Panthers fans need to raise their expectations, or at the very least be more realistic.

Well looky there...I'm not going to state the elephant in the Huddle

That's about the size of it. I'm looking at it a little differently anyway. We'll have two shots at getting this right. The QB that we draft, and Corral. Surely one will work out.

This is Hill's first year playing with Waddle.

Say what you want. Smitty was injured. Sure, Pickles played a part, but Smitty was affected by the injury.

No. A 1 is a 1, and everyone knows what a 1 is. They really don't have to ask. There are probably 5-10 in the NFL currently.

Smith was injured in 2010; hence, the down year.

I didn't fawn over David Gettis. That's a lie. Secondly, stop giving excuses for the QB, a WR catches tbe ball when thrown to them. Smitty played with Jake Delhomme for the bulk of his career. It's not like Delhomme was Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady or even Matt Hasselbeck. first of all. Third, I like Moore for what he is, a high end WR2. I am sold on that. Moore is going to have to catch the ball way more consistently, run clean routes and be able to break the press down on his own way more consistently, and score not only more TDs, but more TDs in clutch time before I'm sold on the opinion that he's a WR1. People comparing him to 89 are simply out of their minds. At this point, Moore will likely be our third best receiver in franchise history. The Panthers haven't had a consistent, legitimate, and complete playmaker at the WR position since 89. Sorry if that hurts your sensibilities. And, for the record, I want to draft all the big time wide receivers. I was nicknamed the Wide Receiver Extremist for a reason. You think it would have hurt my feelings to draft Chase, Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper or A.J. Brown? Not. I want them all every year. That's my bar. If you don't like it, well, too bad.

Studs don't disappear for games at a time. 89 was a stud. Jamarr Chase is a stud. Jefferson is a stud. Adams is a stud. Kupp is a stud. They put literal fear in the hearts of the opposition from coaches to players. That's what separates elite receivers from the good ones.

First off, I think that D.J. is a good receiver. I think there are good receivers available most years. Elite receivers are a little harder to find, but it's certainly not impossible. We aren't talking LTs, CBs, DEs or QBs here, we're talking receivers. Just look at the ones who've come out the last five years, and you can see that mostly every team has a receiver worth his salt. As for following this team, there's a difference between Hurney, Gentleman, Rhule, and now Scott Fitterer (for the moment). Fitterer's specialty is identifying talent. I know that some like to bang on him, but he's done a pretty good job at that in my estimation. The coaches have to coach the talent up and get them on the field. There's no doubt in my mind that he could replace Moore with a good receiver if it came down to that.

Damn right. It's been stated weeks ago. I just remember the motherfugers that were talking poo about him. Players have to develop. They didn't even want to give the dude one month, much less one year. But it does let you know who doesn't really know the dynamics of the game.

We probably checked in, as we should have, but we were never going to pay for his services because we have bigger needs. Quality linebackers are honestly some of the easier players to get on defense.

I mean, I agree fundamentally about weapons, but your post assumes that we won't/can't get more receivers. We've seen teams get some deadly receivers during the past few years, and not just in the first round. D.J. is a relative value, but if the price is right...

I agree, but I guess that the passes looked kinda forced. That may have been because on those types of passes, you certainly need precise ball placement, and I'm not certain that P.J. has that in him which just frustrates the hell out of me because they tried the same play at least twice if not three times. I would've liked to see them have Tremble sell the block, then release quickly and go to the endzone to create some space like Greg used to do. It wouldn't have required such a high degree of accuracy and more in line with P.J.'s skill set. Don't mind me though; I'm just still frustrated over the loss.

How about using that 6'4" Tommy Tremble guy?

Rhule played favorites (figuratively and literally)! You can get away with this on a college level, where the discrepancies in talent between programs is obvious and expectations of programs are relatively dependent upon that fact. And, really, no one's really looking that hard because college coaches have way more control and latitude to play who they want to play and can create way more justifications for keeping largely unproven players benched or in the dog house based on whatever the coach wants to do (even a feeliing). In the NFL, you really can only get away with that poo so much before repercussions show themselves in the form of losses and consequences happen in the form of firings. Because the talent level of players in the NFL is a lot closer---sometimes razor thin---you can't afford to hold more talented players back. It just burns me up.

Ask yourselves what he did on the play of the interception. He made a great play.

Not what I saw, but people have their own perceptions.

Yeah, I believe C.J. was effectively picked by two of his own players.

Player development takes time, and has to be done correctly. It's obvious that Rhule's leadership was a lesson in consistently putting players into positions to fail.

This was D.J.'s first great (even "good") game of the season. It was a great play after a bad one.

C.J. Henderson had great coverage and an even better interception on what should've been the origin of the winning drive. He deserves a little respect this morning. If you're going to give Moore praise for redeeming himself, you should give Henderson some praise for redeeming himself. That was a magnificent play.

My life has moved on from then. I don't have any remorse towards anyone there. In fact, to me, this game was for (former Giants coach) Ben McAdoo and (fomer GM) Jerry Reese."

Well I don't believe that I've seen anyone say that he is our future. He has earned some respect though, and has proved that he should be on a roster. If we think about it, since being committed to, P.J. is playing his best football. Sometimes guys need time and opportunity. I believe that was only his fifth start. He can get even better more than likely.
