Our team prefers to run the ball when we get into the redzone. Story of the Carolina Panthers. It's why Steve Smith's TD numbers never looked great.

That may be true but it doesnt make 10 TDs for another player less impressive.  Just pointing out why it's a close comparison even if Moore has a few more yards

After they drubbed us last week I saw many fans saying we clearly made a mistake picking Moore before Ridley. At the time It seemed like a reasonable assessment. Not knowing much about Moore before the draft I to was in the Ridley camp. He was a bigger name and put up superior (speed) combine numbers.

After listening for weeks leading up to the draft to the talking heads,I came away with the impression Moore was the superior route runner and a yac beast. Year one Ridley made it a easy 1-0 his favor and I thought To myself I knew it, the Panthers found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again.. I mean only we could have our choice out of any wr in the draft and come away with second best. 

This year I believe it looks closer than one might think. Ridley hasn't slowed down his production but moore is picking his game up. He looks stronger period at the point of attack and after the catch. Ridley is still give him a crack and he's gone fast. Moore didn't have a bad 40 time but, him getting caught from behind is starting to vex me a bit.

I do believe Moore makes more happen with less, but does Moore benefit from wr 1 targets or does having Matt Ryan and Julio Benefit Ridley by drawing the lesser of 2 defenders and single coverage more often? 

What say you... 

Moore had a better combine...:liar:

I thought he did too, which was a big thing in DJs draft process. 

Once he showed up bigger and just as fast it put to rest questions about his size. 

He must be talking about Ridley's 3 cone, which is the only combine number that could be better than Moores

I also liked Ridley more coming out. 

But I think they really wanted a WR that could excel at the underneath routes and make some easy completions to Cam. So with the 2 being similar in talent DJ fit the scheme better. 

 

Ridley has had a better situation around him (QB and Julio) while DJ has had to earn everything himself. I think this bodes really well for his future development.

I put speed on parentheses. Yes 3 cone, Overall Moore did with all workouts and drills.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
