I Think We Will See More of DJ Moore

[panthers34]

Would just like to remind everyone that a year ago today Alvin Kamara was hardly playing and was a third string RB behind Ingram and AP. Everyone needs to relax about DJ Moore. He's only 21 and came from a very simple offense in college. His talent is obvious and any week now he'll start seeing much more touches and hopefully burst onto the scene.

And for anyone that is worried about Torrey Smith or for those of you who think Rivera is too loyal to vets, think back to Jason Avant in 2014. After it was clear that him and Cam just didn't have good chemistry together, Avant hardly played and eventually got cut. It's starting to look to me like Torrey Smith is like Avant and just doesn't fit where Wright is more like Cotchery. With Moore emerging and Samuel back soon, I can guarantee you that Torrey Smith will start seeing less time on the field unless he starts consistently producing

I hear ya Ron.

Whether you like it or not, it's true. Trying to teach him all three positions rather than throwing him out there to be purely a slot receiver is a long term play for a guy who is going to be here and be very successful. Again, I suspect the training wheels will be taken off in Week 5, while they may be loosened up in Week 3.

I should have done this for you:

But sure, I get being prepared - that's good. But there are always ways of simplifying plays / calls for the rookies. For me it's risk vs reward. If you've got a player that can change a game with their talent, you find a way to get them on the field in a capacity that they can handle.
