Offensive Rookie of the Year Candidates Moore #9

Wouldn't this be awesome.  

It's possible.  If used properly by Turner Moore could surprise a lot of people.   I think we have enough weapons that Moore won't face double coverage too much.  His ability to gain YAC will improve his chances.

Thought?

I think he has a legit shot. Obviously the favorite going into the season is gonna be Barkley, but aside from him I don’t think any other rookie has a better shot than Moore unless one of the rookie QBs plays very well. 

Typical Dallas loving article.  Who would have thought they would list Michael Gallup #1 over Barkley.

If i will be happy. If a rookie WR is making an impact I think it bodes well for us. 

I hope so too.   I think it is more important that Cam spreads the ball around more.  The more he utilizes all his weapons the more potent our offense will be.

With the way that the ball is spread around in this offense, I don't believe that Moore will have a legit shot at OROY (which is fine with me). If he does, it will likely mean that he is balling beyond expectations (which is also fine with me). I am just looking for an impact. It's been so long, that I've forgotten what a Panthers offense looks like with multiple threats to take it to the house on any ol' play.  Moore, Samuel and maybe even Thomas should help that out tremendously, but as a unit.

In any given year, the top WR taken in the draft should always automatically be considered a contender for OPOY...regardless of what situation he’s coming into, unless he’s truly drafted entirely for potential. The fact that this article has him at #9, behind several mid-round receivers, is insulting if anything. Not that I care about asinine predictions like these, but I’m confused as to how you would be excited by an article like this.

Excited?  Where do you get that I was excited?  I simply said wouldn't it be awesome.  If used properly he could rack up some good numbers.  I think that is a fair assessment.

Ridley.... But that's simply because the system they run and Julio will always get the coverage rolled to his side

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
