Ridley is definitely a more advanced player right now, but they didn't draft Moore for what he is currently.

You can argue about taking a project player with the makeup of the team this season, but you shouldn't be comparing the two draft picks yet. 

Agree everyone knew Ridley was more pro ready coming out. Moore will be way better.

 

And honestly I wouldn't put much stock into Ridley today... Against the Aints' born again secondary with Julio drawing their only good player in Lattimore. Jackson overall arguably got the better of him last week if you take out those bullshit penalties.

Ian Thomas - 5 Targets - 3 receptions 20 yards

Dante Jackson - 7 Tackles (all solo) - 2 Passes Defended - 2 INTs

In my opinion doesn't give all of our rookies a fair opportunity to produce.  Good stats but most here understand that is the exception in spite of the norm.  Besides, who is going to play TE if Thomas is not there.  Injury gave him the opportunity.  But keep playing with stats.  Do you believe he got full potential out of McCaffrey last year.  I don't.  He continued to give the ball to an unproductive and old Jonathan Stewart.  So your stats don't change what I believe is the philosophy of our head coach.  He favors vets and always will irregardless of production.

Jackson is a starter, he had to come in and start we didn't have any other valuable option

As far as Ian, you're forgetting Olsen is out

This.  Exactly.  Those stats don't mean squat lol.  You have to look at the situation.

No it's not.

So it's ok for us to make DPOTY threads about Jackson, but when our guy is struggling on offense we use the schemes excuse.lol

 

Just be straight up about it Ridley looks like the better WR so far. He is making an impact with guys like Julio and Sanu in front of him on the depth chart. He is earning his recognition. Hopefully DJ breakout is around the corner because I still believe in his talent.

Dpoty threads are different than scheme and how a player is used threads.

Most people during the draft would've wanted Oliver and not Jackson but one guy has 3 ints and is bringing attitude to a unit and the other can barely get on the field. If Ridley was here we'd still be playing the vets over him

I’m a little biased on this topic because I was essentially creaming my pants watching CR drop to us...I felt heartbroken when we went with Moore.

Agreed we haven’t seen enough from Moore yet but I do think CR will agitate us for years to come. I just wish that someone in a different division would have picked him up.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
