Judging the receivers coach

If you're measuring the worth of WR Coach Jim Hostler, which of these two things do you put more stock in:

- DJ Moore's development

- Curtis Samuel's regression

Obviously, you can also throw in other things like Jarius Wright's performance and such but these are the two things that are uppermost in my mind.

Tough to judge. Moore is coming along very nicely and seems to be quietly emerging as an elite NFL WR. Samuel on the other hand seems to be the same guy we drafted - a WR/RB hybrid who really doesn't fit either NFL role. Maybe it says more about Moore and Samuel as players than it does about their position coach?

At this point, I think we need to just go back to using Samuel as a gimmick player and find another starting WR. Samuel can be a useful part of the offense but he just doesn't seem suited to being a full-time starting WR.

I just don’t believe we take advantage of matchups like we should unless it involves CMC. I know that DJ Moore is developing, but honestly he gets an insane amount of one on one matchups, far less than most #1 WR in the league so we should expect good results from him. Samuel and Wright don’t even exist in this offense unless it’s a reverse run where CMC is a decoy. The entire staff needs to go and we need a head coach with a offensive background for once.

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
