In his first 7 games, he was averaging 66 yards per game and had zero 100 yard games. That's not bad. That's still on pace for a 1000 yard season.

But, on Halloween Smitty publicly called out our WRs saying they couldn't beat man coverage and questioning their effort.

Since then, DJ is averaging 105 yards per game and came 5 yards short this past Sunday of recording his third straight 100 yard game. 105 yards per game would be on pace for a nearly 1700 yard season. Maybe the timing was just coincidence, but I'm sure DJ knew about what Smitty had said.

DJ Moore is quietly on pace for 1,246 receiving yards.  Not too shabby for year two, in a running offense, with Kyle Allen as your QB. 

The 1 TD is a bit of a head scratcher. 

not really when you remember how much allen struggles with deep balls. moore's 1 td was on a 10 yard pass where he created a lane for himself to break it long off a crossing route. when the routes go much deeper than that things tend to fall apart quickly.

Touchdowns are fluky anyway.  Julio doesn't score a lot of TDs, Andre Johnson didn't have tons of TD's each year either.  Tt's his 2nd year with average QB's and run in the red zone offense.  If CMC wasn't about to set a record for yards in a season you might hear more about him.

I still maintain 89 was calling out Samuel and just refused to single him out.  Samuel was the WR that looked so bad in SF. 

I think after SF Moore and Samuel had comparable targets on the year.  Ever since the WRs were called out Moore has had an increase in targets and Samuel a decrease.  The targets haven't been as evenly split. 

Was 58 to 54 after SF.  Since SF Moore has 36 to Samuel's 21

Moore is pretty dynamic as a YAC WR and physical after the catch.  Think he lead all the NFL last year as a rookie in yards after contact.   So deep ball really isn't needed. Just surprised he hasn't found a way to reach the endzone more.  Law of averages considering how much he has touched it.   Gotta think that will course correct at some point.

He doesn't have a demanding loud personality so people like Smith at him weird but when they've actually made an effort to get him involved he's produced. He's also make several contested catches, so I'm not sure why people are saying he doesn't attack the ball--catches against GB, yesterday, and Jax come to mind.

He is a tailor made number 2 WR.  We still need someone reliable on productive on the other side of him.

I've always chuckled about the ridiculous expectations this board has of a #1 WR. If Moore maintains the pace he's currently on he'll have over 1200 yards. If he maintains his pace of the past three games he'll have WELL over 1200 yards.

It seems like some of y'all think that the only WRs worthy of being called a #1 WR are literally all-time great WRs.

More on Samuel, he's pretty much what he was at Ohio State and probably fits the role of trick player, occasional outside speed guy better than full time starter. He's got talent and a role but they're probably just misusing him. Everyone wanted Tyreke Hill but that dude's a mutant, lower them expectations. I blame this on the coaching staff, of course

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
