Gantt thinks they should: Panthers shouldn't look to Moose

We've talked before about Moose taking on the "Ricky Proehl" position. An idea which seems good, until you realize that it means elevating an unproven player to the number two role.

Wondering how many like this idea, and if so who do you elevate?

- Dwayne Jarrett

- Kenny Moore

- Dante Rosario (from the TE spot)

Keep in mind, you also have to replace Moose as a blocker, not just as a receiver.

Dumb idea. The only possibility would be Moore, but he needs some experience as a regular third receiver before we think about starting him.

100% agree. I wish someone would tell us why Moore is being used exclusively for ST when he showed so much promise in preseason. He would be ideal IMO for the #3 WR spot (similar to Ricky Proehl). I swear our coaching staff is clueless when it comes to running a competent offense.

im torn on dante to wr tho. but that does allow your true three best to be in wr slots. Dante might now start getting more attention especially in the seam which seems to be so open every play.

King as the TE could be a better safety valve.

But Moore and SS need to get thier hands on the rock more.

It would have to be Moore.

One big issue with our passing game is that we usually only use two WR's...and Moose is slow. We need another book-end to Smitty that can create separation and stretch the field.

I would vote for Moore.

It's bewildering that our offensive playcalling is so limited. We absolutely need more 3 WR sets and we have 3 good pass catching TEs that can stretch the field and its not like we don't have the weapons to do it. Moose may be slower due to age, but he's still a great blocker and decent possession WR. Moore should enough promise in preseason to at least get a shot at the slot WR spot and Goodson was supposed to be a good #3 RB that could receive very well. However, both of them are underutilized. If we could use more 3 WR set or our TE more, or even design some plays for Goodson, this would help our running game tremendously. We've got to somehow get our offensive problems fixed, and fast, if we are to salvage the season. What we're doing now is not working effectively or consistently enough.

Even Gantt has forsaken the homer role!11111!!1

:P

Moose is definitely a #3 WR at this point. It's something they have to scheme their way around, IMO because of his value as a blocker.

so basically we are fizucked.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
