2018 NFL Predictions

Offensive Rookie of the Year: D.J. Moore

He is a plug-and-play playmaker in what I anticipate will be a dynamic offense in Carolina. He is learning three receiver positions on the fly, so his speed of thought will have to catch up to his speed of play, but I don't think it will take very long. Cam Newton already trusts him, and he can be explosive in the slot and on the outside and will see plenty of run-after-the-catch with him, too.

While I love Moore, I don't think he will be a "serious" RoY contender, and that isn't a slight against him.  I think he will put up good numbers.  I just think Cam will have plenty of weapons that the Panthers will not have to rely on Moore enough to get RoY numbers. 

Cam being Cam (running it himself, even if they are trying to move away from it), Funchess, CMC, CJ Anderson, the rest of the WR corp that is amazing for a Panthers team...

I just think the numbers will be too split up between the targets for Moore to have a RoY season, numbers wise.  And this is not a bad thing.

I definitely hope he is, but o seriously doubt it. RBs probably have the easiest transition to the NFL of all positions and one of the best RB prospects in recent memory was in this last draft and then you have to consider that QBs get all the glory and that there will likely be 2-3 rookie QBs starting this year.

Just now, Cracka McNasty said:

I really don't see it happening. I don't think there are enough touches to go around. 

Agreed

He did look Real good in camp then in game 1 as well.  Had some people buzzing around here even igo, saying they thought he'd end up being our leading WR this year.  

Then the last 3 games, he's disappeared.

 

Meanwhile Samuel has looked like a Stud, Funchess is still Funchess.  Wright is going to get his catches "mr 3rd down".  Olsen is still among the best TEs and will get catches, as will Thomas.  Ron wants to get CMC the ball a Ton.  Smith has looked baaaad but Ron will keep him on the field until he gets hurt just because he's a "vet"

 

Just no Footballs to go around to him to get those big #s

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
