Odd man out?

An Athletic subscriber asked Joe Person what the odds were that the Panthers extended Robby Anderson and Curtis Samuel, leaving DJ Moore the "odd man out".

Person's response: "More likely than they were two months ago".

He also added elsewhere that the Panthers view Anderson as their "#1 receiver" rather than Moore.

This isn't a scenario that I've seen raised before, but Person seems to at least think it's plausible.

If that's the case then we need to trade him. To be clear, I think that would be a massive mistake but I've become numb to watching us make massive mistakes.

I don't think that's a mistake at all. Both Anderson and Samuel have flourished under Bridgewater and the WCO. Moore while not bad at all has been the third best WR and has never had a mentality to become a beast. He reminds me of Brandon Cook's in our system. Good but not great. I think a trade would be a very good idea.

I know he and Bridgewater don't seem to be on the same page sometimes, but Moore has such great run after the catch ability and that's an extremely valuable thing to the type of offense we run.

Joe Person did say that both Matt Rhule and Joe Brady love Teddy Bridgewater, so if there is a question between those two, I wonder.

I'm fine with them loving Teddy. Honestly, he seems like a great guy. But if they think that he's "the guy", well... we're good and proper fuged.

I think he's (Person) reading it wrong.

If they *really* thought Samuel was the guy, seems like they'd list him on the depth chart in front of DJ.  They don't.  They actually list DJ in front of Samuel.

Who tends to come out of the game with more highlights though?

That they're happy with him now doesn't necessarily mean he's "the guy".

Person does seem to believe that they have a higher opinion of him than some of the fans do, though.

I think Teddy is fine for right now. Honestly, having him in the roster allows us not to force a young guy into action before he's ready. But I'm really hoping to see us go the Alex Smith/Patrick Mahomes route though. Ideally, we land an elite prospect he sits and learns behind Teddy for a year and Teddy plays well enough that we can trade him for a decent pick and he gets extended by his Jew team as their "the guy". Everyone wins. Well, everyone except for Teddy's new team, but oh well. Sucks for them.

lol Poor DJ out there getting open every week but TBs lack of ability to get it to him is going to get him off the team. So stupid.

Far from certain. Still just a potential scenario at this point.

Gotta say it's a scenario I wouldn't have imagined, but apparently it's possible.

We see flashes with DJ but Dj, as far as I can remember, never has that game winning catch. More often  than not he will make a circus catch and then drop an easy one 

he is no Steve smith and that’s what we all hoped he would be

i just feel like there is not enough fire in him. He strikes me as someone who plays football for the money but doesn’t love  it   Not a sin it just seems that way from the outside looking in and maybe Rhule sees that too as his mantra is basically ‘work hard  be passionate  but be smart ...and I believe Moore went into the dog house a bit with that 15 yard unsportsmanlike in the end zone a bit ago 

he is a big of an enigma

      Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
