I'd like to see steve smith play with a busted cam newton or kyle allen.

dj moore can be a #1.  is he? hard to say, because fuging kyle allen was throwing him the ball.

Smith made Delhomme look like a pro Bowl QB. Moore isn't Smith but Brady is going to make him look good. I also think he fits a WCO/RPO offense better than a Coryell imo.

no doubt smitty was a beast, but Delhomme was a probowl qb in the early/mid 2000s.  Arguably his best season statistically was when smitty was injured even, lol. 

and again, Kyle Allen wishes he was Jake Delhomme of the early 2000s.  Or at least, I do...

Smh so much hate for a kid who was thrust into a horrible situation. Delhomme has the arguably the best WR duo of that time in Smith and Moose. Jakes best season was a result of Moose ripping apart the league. Unfortunately we didn't have enough juice to push for a SB that year. Just like when Smith got the triple Crown. Always the bridesmaid never the bride in Carolina.

D.J. Moore had almost 1,200 yards last season while missing a game. He did this on a team without a quarterback, and in an offense that revolved around force feeding a running back touches. If he's not a number one, then what is he? Is a number one reserved just for the elite? If so only a few teams in the league have a number one, and trying to find one is a luxury.

So Hurney's last two 1st round draft picks are a #2 WR and a back-up (but very talented) DE who may not have a scheme-fit unless played as a 3-4 OLB.

I don't k ow why that's a bad thing. 

A #2 WR is still a starter.

Does it? 

If that’s really the opinion coming from the organization it does. Moore is on his way to being a top 5 league wide premiere WR who’s gonna get a huge payday. Even if they are just saying it to motivate it shows the “program” is dumb.

Who knows if it’s true or just Smitty and the host hyperbolizing. But if it is. Dumb.

A 1000 yard WR in today's NFL is not an overwhelmingly awesome WR.  that is about 6 catches and 74 yards per game.  He will be 23 in April, so he is on the right track.

He had 1175 yards when the offense was not good---a bad line and bad QB.

To compare, in 2010, with Clausen and not Kyle Allen at QB, Steve Smith (in 14 games) had 554 yards an averaged 39.6 yards per game. 

Regardless of the #1 or #2 status, and top WR in the mix is going to take pressure off Moore--less S cheating over the top, less #1 CB attention.  And a better OL and better QB should equate to better numbers. 

I think Moore is fringe, but he is on track to be a solid #1 if that is what you call it.  Bring in a #1/2 WR and move Curtis S to the slot, and we are dangerous.

See my post a few seconds ago about Smitty and Moore--it supports you.

When I hear anyone, be they huddler, former all pro WR, NFL team owner or a somehow still hanging onto his job after a mostly losing career resume GM, say that they view a WR who was top ten in yardage last season despite playing with backup quality qb's at best, missing a game and playing on a team with an awful record as a #2 WR, what that tells me is their definition of a #1 is something very few teams have, and therefore is not really essential. Did either of the two teams that just played in the SB have a true #1 by any definition that doesn't include Moore?

No?

Then who cares?

Dude was a top 10 NFL WR with Kyle Allen throwing him the ball. If the Panthers' organization feels he's "only" a #2 then it seems as if the Panthers' organization agrees with the Huddle's opinion that the only viable "#1 WRs" are mythological beasts the who consumes his opponents with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse.

Yeah but I want one of those arse firing Mfers on this team.  How long has it been since a WR actually scared a defense?

    • They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.
    • I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there. 
    • 10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
