Panthers coach Ron Rivera said the team "has to put more on D.J. Moore's plate."

Moore has played just 17 snaps each of the first two games of the season, but he flashed with a 51-yard touchdown against Atlanta in which he made a few defenders miss on his way into the end zone. Cam Newton seems to like Jarius Wright, but Moore simply gives the offense more upside. He needs to be used more moving forward. Sep 17 - 10:47 AM

 

 

This proves that Ron is aware that DJ Moore needs to be targeted more often. It also says he is aware that Funches is not the guy to rely on.

Wright has been our most reliable WR so far. Moore needs increased opportunities, but they shouldn't come at the expense of Wright.

Welp Ron’s the Head coach what’s he waiting on. He says this stuff like it’s a new thing or something. Moore shoulda been involved more from the onset. Not Torrey fkn Smith

There is no one guy to rely on. You have to get your best playmakers the most snaps, and put each individual of the receiving corps in their greatest positions to succeed. The guy to rely on is the guy whose number is called on any given play.

Good on Ron. There are plenty of pig headish coaches in today's NFL that would be reluctant to admit something so obvious. Ron does a good job correcting flaws with his teams and before you know it we rip off 4 or 5 wins in a row instead of dropping the next 4 of 5 like many feel this team may do.

Wright is a slot receiver, pretty much period. He is not an outside guy, and he doesn't put fear in the opposition. Moore and Samuels should.

Yeah didnt get that

Its like yeah we know we have to get Moore on the field more

But were going to keep to 2 guys that are struggling and replace the only WR that was producing with Moore

Ron doesn’t normally call out the staff or players, wondering if he’s doing this because he knows there’s a new owner lurking in the shadows

Samuel as 1 Funch As 2 Wright/Moore as slot. 

[Varking]

Wright has been no more reliable than Funchess, that is just a hot take. Cam is 10 of 14 targeting Funchess against a #1 DB. Wright out of the slot against a #3 or LB and Cam is 8 of 12 targeting him. That is a 71.4% completion rate to Funchess and 66.6% for Wright. 

Wright is 10.6 yards per catch, Funchess is 11.8. 

Wright also fumbled the ball ( we recovered ) in the first game against Dallas. 

Torrey Smith needs to sit for Moore. And when they are all healthy the starting lineup needs to be Funchess, Samuel, Moore as the 1-3. Smith and Wright can't handle the #1 spot and Moore isn't ready for it just yet.

But face it, do we really  know Moore isn't ready for the #1? It's always after a frickin injury that we find out.

No we don't know for sure. We can only, as fans, judge from what we have seen of him when he was on the field in preseason and thus far through 2 games. 17 snaps a game isn't going to get him ready for being #1 later this season or going into next season either and we need to get him more reps in general.
