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

      ESPN showing some love on out draft class!!

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
