@frankw and @JawnyBlaze thanks for taking the drama out of the discussion and providing your honest assessments. Wasn't my intention to piss off some of the people on here. Hopefully both teams come away happy with the trade.

Moore certainly had his critics here, with the most common complaint probably being that some felt he was more of a #2 receiver that we were trying to make into a #1.

I had a former co-worker (Cowboys fan) who wasn't exactly a fan of Moore when he was drafted. His statement to me was that we would come to regret it.

Can't say I ever came to that point, but I do understand some of the criticisms.

Yea, well when you come out slinging words like “fleeced” it’s gonna happen lol. We’ve already gotta listen to 75% of the national media describe it that way despite according to the trade chart it’s pretty much an even fair trade (with Moore as a mid first round value).  Definitely a win-win situation imo, same as the McCaffrey trade earlier in the year. Just something that had to be done.

Saw some comments I thought were unfair. My apologies if I ruffled some feathers.

Not sure if DJ noticed but we need a QB 

He was sort of asked to throw the Panthers QB situation under the bus a few times during his interview and he took the high road. 
 

It’s less than ten minutes long, folks should listen to it before feeling offended about something he said in the interview. At no point did it seem like he was being a drama queen.

I don’t know why fans have to act this way whenever a really good player is traded. DJ had some of the worst qbs his entire career here and still produced 1k yard seasons. DJ is a beast and I think he’s gonna help with Fields’ continued development. I wish dj nothing but the best.

Acting like we wanted to get rid of him and he wasn't valued here ain't exactly the high road in my book. He's taking it way better than DWill and Benjamin atleast.

He said he understood the business side of it and moved on quickly. Going to miss the housing in Charlotte though.

Not sure, saw the same thing happen in Chicago when they traded Roquan Smith. He was a tackling machine and an all pro but Bears fans were talking so much smack about him after he was moved. Suddenly he couldn't tackle or make impact plays so good riddance. Really sucked to see him go.

I’m a huge fan of dj. I think with an above average to great qb he’s a 1500 10 td type of receiver. He got so much crap here because he “couldn’t take over games” with Sam Darnold, Kyle Allen, baker mayfield, pj walker, and Teddy bridgewater throwing him the ball. I don’t know what these people expected. A lot of this fanbase shits on fields because we passed over him but I think Fields is going to love DJ and they’re gonna do some damage. Especially if y’all fix that oline.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
