Bu..bu...bu....but Ridley

 

 

 

Just looked at Ridley's stats

 

He only has 192 yards and 1 TD outside of the 2 big games he had back to back. While playing a good chunk of their plays

 

Its not a sprint.  DJ is Just now getting a decent pct of snaps while Ridley has been getting over 50% all season

 

 

 

The only game Ridley has had under 54% of the snaps is when he went down with a ankle injury

Been on this bandwagon since the pick. He is special. He's got to get the ball. Him and Samuel have developed into quite the problem for the NFCS to have to figure out.

I'll say it again, I'd love for him to train with Smitty this next off-season. There would be no better teacher for DJ. Smitty was what DJ is but became a great route runner and starred in many a John Gruden nightmare having beasted on his defense twice yearly.

I’ll probably have to make a thread on this soon, but a large part of Moore’s production has been from Norv scheming him open.

As a true WR from the X on a few snaps, his route running was...um...very sub-optimal. There’s a reason coaches want to bring him in slowly. He’s still learning the WR position as a whole.

I’m grateful Norv is using Moore’s strengths to its utmost. Moore is very productive how they’re using him. However, I understand why the Panthers have limited his snaps. Simply because, as of now, he’s limited.

Much rather would have Samuel get a large number of WR snaps. He’s far far more polished.

I love the Huddle.  One day we are screaming fug you to some stat generating site and the next day we are quoting them to reassure us a Panther is going to be great.

Selectivity is a universal concept.  You choose what you like, and disregard the rest.:tongue:

We can just assume PFF is like a broken clock when it comes to their top graded rookie WRs.  Even a broken clock is right 2 times a day.  Just way of on Cam.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
