The Panthers don't want Randy Moss's help

Apparently Randy Moss threw out an invite to help out the team (not sure in what capacity). Looks like it was declined.

The Carolina Panthers seem to be in a bit of a spiral downward this season. After finishing 15-1 in 2015 en route to a Super Bowl appearance, a 4-8 record in 2016 isn’t what anyone expected. The losses would be bad enough, but as they pile on, other nasty things are finding their way out of the cupboards as well.

Take for instance franchise quarterback Cam Newton sitting over not wearing a tie when the team traveled. That sparked immediate outrage and conspiracy theories abound. Now retired wide receiver turned analyst Randy Moss is making some news of his own.

Randy Moss on MNF: "I live in Charlotte ... We want the Carolina Panthers to get back on track. Whatever it takes."

 
 

 

Moss threw out a really great sentiment for Carolina that could have been turned into quite the motivation. Moss, known for being a bit of a prima dona during his playing days does have a certain fire to him that helped set him apart from others. That fire could in turn be used to get the Panthers out of their funk.

According to Moss though, Carolina turned down Moss’ advances.

@LibbyWeihsmann ive sent the invite and thts wht frustrating!#egos

Arrogant as hell. Despite Moss' diva reputation, coaches have raved about his football intelligence. Plus, when you're a young player and a guy like Randy fuging Moss is willing to come try to teach you a thing or two you fuging listen.

KB has regressed this year. Funchess hasn't improved. What's it gonna hurt to let Randy fuging Moss talk to these guys? Afraid you're gonna hurt Ricky Proehl's feelings or something?

I bet even Ricky would've welcomed this. He would've been a service to at least the WRs.

If he's offering to help the WR's, then yea, we could use his help. KB still can't run or finish a route to save his life, and Funchess definitely needs the help. 


Randy Moss was a terrible route runner, don't really want him teaching anyone how to run a route. Now if he can teach someone to be 6'4 and run a 4.2 in pads then I'm all for his help.

Lol, what?  Randy Miss is one of the best receivers of all time.  I'm sorry, I think he ran routes just fine.  Jesus.

Randy Moss ran like one route for the majority of his career, the streak and it worked because he was an absolute freak of fuging nature. If he had even half of the technical route running ability of a guy like Jerry Rice he would have shattered every damn receiving record by such a large margin they would have renamed the position after him. The dude coasted on his natural ability for a huge chunk of his career.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
