What most people have failed to realize is that Matt Moore has been able to complete passes to Steve Smith in the time that he has been given to perform. He's taken every single opportunity that he's been given and has turned in outstanding report cards. Of the million quarterbacks that we've brought in over the past five or six years to back-up Jake Delhomme, Matt Moore has been the only one to complete a multitude of passes to Steve Smith. Yeah, a lot of quarterbacks have gotten the ball to Smith, like Vinny Testaverde for instance. Yet he only did it a few times, and never was really on the same page as Smith. Even the deep ball he threw to him during that Cardinals game back in 2007, he thought he had over thrown his man. Matt Moore doesn't over throw Steve Smith, he puts it on the numbers, or in a place where Smith can make a play for it. And he's done it consistently. It's not gonna be hard to get Smith the ball for Moore, but doing it consistently takes time, effort, and a lot of film review. This is why I believe Matt Moore will be successful in Carolina. Not only will he be able to get the ball to Smith, but he'll also know when to check it down or get it to his second or third options. See highlights from week 15 when Moore tore apart the Vikings defense http://www.nfl.com/videos/carolina-panthers/09000d5d81523594/WK-15-Matt-Moore-highlights or pretty much any of the games he played in at the end of last season. I just really like watching Antoine Winfield pout like a little baby when Smith destroys him on that deep throw!

we'll see after this season. i am not sold on matt moore yet. i hope that everyone here is right about him, but the truth is that none of his opponenets had any film to study. this year, our opponenets will know what to expect. will he still be able to make plays after that? i hope so.

he played 3 games in 2007, and it's not as if teams couldn't look at the games he had played in 2009.

Minnesota and New York weren't surprised when he took the field.

I'd HOPE our starting QB can get the ball to our #1 consistently, and know when to check it down. Jesus ths post is stupid.

And... you're a douche for not understanding the post. I was trying to make a valid point as to why Matt Moore will be successful here in Carolina, where other quarterbacks that our FO has tried to bring in have failed. Some quarterbacks (ie. Jake Delhomme) don't know how to get the ball to their #1 guy and/or how to check it down when necessary. And a lot of people keep saying that we need to trade for a quarterback or draft one.. when it's pointless to do such a thing because we already have a QB who will be successful in our system. Now I know why I hate coming on these dumb ass discussion boards... because of redneck retards like you!

The numbers don't say he got the ball to Smith consistently.

Tampa-3 receptions for 78 yards

New England-2 receptions for 83 yards

Minnesota- 9 receptions for 157 yards

New York Giants- 5 receptions for 60 yards

New Orleans- did not play

What the numbers show is that Moore was able to get the ball down the field to Smith on a couple of big plays and that in one case had a big game against Minnesota.

But consistently means more than a few catches a game interspersed with one big game. In order for your statement to be true they need to have several big games each season and every week average 6 or more catches a game.

So far there is little to suggest that he can consistently get the ball to Smith. Delhomme was just so bad that the bar was set very low.

I was impressed by how Moore spread the ball around when he played last season... something we didn't see from that other guy... Get the TE's involved, get Jarrett involved (who I think is going to have a good year) and get another speed guy out there involved.

This is basically what I think. I really feel that Jarrett will be a solid #2/3, and that the biggest problem was that Jake rarely looked his way. Also, when he was in the game, it was usually as a blocker, but I did see him open several times where he was not targeted. So while many look at his low catch total and judge him a bust, I look at it and see a guy that has not been fully utilized. So with Matt coming in and already displaying the ability to spread the ball around, I fully expect Jarrett to have a very solid year.

With that said, I really do think we still need a receiver with good speed, and it doesn't necessarily have to be blazing straight line speed, but a guy that is very quick and has a good burst to give him separation from the DB. That's why I am probably leaning toward Mardy Gilyard as my #1 target (realistically since the Golden Tate's will likely be long gone by our pick). Another guy that I am intrigued by is Taylor Price from Ohio. He has good size and speed, and he was beating all the top CB's at the senior bowl practice, and caught just about anything that came near him. I have never seen him play, but based on his measurables and what I saw of him at the senior bowl practices, I think he would be a solid pick-up in the 3rd or 4th round.

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
