Interesting take on the Panthers WRs

Game play is different then camp practice. Moore is absolutely deadly with the ball in his hands. It’s awesome to hear Chris is playing so well but Moore is in a different stratosphere athletically. He, like Curtis can take it to the house at any given time. 

Moore definitely has things to work on. But norv can mask some of that with designs that give him the ball in space. 

I would be shocked if Chris outproduces Moore this season. I think of him more as a 3rd down, safety net type player. Moore is the homerun player. If/when Moore catches up to Curtis, hopefully by next year. Look out.

Moore has played a season in the NFL. A season.

Much of the season he was a gadget and lacked reps. 

He showed he could be productive when given the opportunity despite being green and having some deficiencies in his game as a rookie receiver.

If he is 2A and 2B with Hogan (which i believe was one the top receivers at creating seperation) then it sounds like Moore is about to take a 2nd year leap. Combine those extra yards of seperation before he gets the ball with his RAC ability.

Moore will be the #2. Hope we can have a WR tandem soon where Moore and Samuel look like 1A/1B.

Whata strange is how little we have heard of Wright who has been virtually mr reliable. I haven't seen many if any tweets about his camp. Samuel has always been my projected number 1. Seems to work harder at his craft at this point. You could see it with the purchase of the jugs machine, and all the work he put in in route running.

Seems reasonable to me but I don't think it will last much longer.  Hogan is very highly rated at getting separation according to analytics.  Moore still needs help in route running and his release but he's also only entering year 2.

Definitely would be a fan if the top 5 ended up that way though.

Its not always about athletics 

If you can get open 

 

Hogan got dubbed the nickname 

7-11 from former teammates for always being open

Think his only issues have been are injuries

I'm not buying that.  Camp is still camp.  Now I do think Samuel might be the best WR this year.  But Moore is a much bigger playmaker than Hogan IMO.   When games start I think that will be obvious.  That ain't a knock on Hogan as I like the pick up.

I appreciate the shoutout @ncfan! My ranking was based on production. Someone mentioned camp vs game production and that's a valid point. But so far, Ive simply observed that Hogan has outperformed Moore. They're kind of 2A and 2B. They'll be used differently. And Moore has a knack for YAC that I haven't seen from Hogan so the tables may yet turn.

FWIW

Hogan is no slouch athlete either 

"he showed out for his Pro Day, where he ran a 40-Yard Dash in 4.40, had a vertical jump of 36-½ inches and bench pressed 225 pounds 28 times. In the video below, Hogan runs a 4.39 40-Yard Dash while training with Joe DeFranco."

Agree with this. DJ's deadliest trait is YAC. In TC there isn't much hitting and plays get blown dead so that obviously isn't showing up. DJ just has that home run ability to break a 7 yard slant for a long TD at anytime.

      Panthers Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
