2018 NFL Predictions
 

Quote

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

      Meh… I wish there was a network that has all sports.  This thing will fail.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
