Moore likes added twists in Panthers' offense

Our running game is great but it will be so much better if we can make defenses respect our passing game. We have one elite WR in Steve Smith but we have so many guys that are capable of making atleast 1 catch a game. If Smitty catches 6 passes and Dwayne Jarrett, Brandon LaFell, Armanti Edwards, Jeff King, Dante Rosario, Gary Barnidge, D-Will and J-Stew each catch 1 pass per game we would be really tough to stop. I hope Fox has finally realized that he can't run the ball 8 out of every 10 plays and make the playoffs.

Glad to hear they are expanding the passing game by replacing TE's with WR's in certain sets... but I'd also like to see us throw more passes to the TE's.

Barnidge showed last year that he can be a weapon in the passing game and the advantage to throwing to the TE is that it's easier to disguise what you're doing (run/pass) and easier to check out to a run play if the defense dictates that.

I am glad to see a greater focus being put on the passing game. With our running game, if we can have anything resembling a legit passing game we'll be tough to stop.

This has been on the observer all day, there were other threads that included links to this (i.e debate on roster spots and how many WR's we will keep - included a link to the observer on this particular story). You are late once again on news that everyone already knew about.

i hate people like you. it's a freakin' message board. i'm pretty sure there's enough room for a few repeat posts. and perhaps some people don't feel like searching for previously posted threads... ever thought of that? and if it's been posted more than once, people will eventually stop posting on a repeated post. however, if the other thread has been pushed down from other new threads, and people see this one first... does it really matter?

dick.

You realize this is the official "news bot" (it's not a bot but you get my point) right?

    • I love this draft because they picked the right OL.  It is possible that we have 2 rookies starting on the OL.  I would take Utah's Lomu as well, but for those who think you find the OL in free agency and not the draft, here is all I have to say:  We cannot give $110m to the 5 starting OL.  We need an infusion of youth on the OL as well.  If Ickey returns and can play, I imagine that he takes over for Hunt at RG--in 2027 or so.  Currently, our 2 guards and right tackle make up over 20% of the total cap.  We have to add 2 starters, but if Cade Mays was too pricey at around (anticipated) $8m, then we plan to draft a C, it seems. I think we draft an OT and C now because we will need a G or 2 and a RT soon.  While they were good in 2026, they were not elite.  For that kind of $$, we need elite.  Is starting a rookie LT and C ideal?  Nope.  But if we can get better than Nijman and Mays, we should be OK. I think we will pick up an ILB in free agency and add an ILB.  Who we draft (Mike or Will) will depend on who we sign.  Rodriguez is a favorite of mine, but if Golday is there, Morgan is going to take him.  Morgan will love him. I do not think we need to overpopulate the edge position right now because we have 1 edge returning from injury (Jones II), one rookie from last year ready to step up and could be really good (Scourton), and another who could be ready to step into the situational pass rusher role (Princely).  2 hold the edge very well and if we had a situational pass rusher to join Princely, we could be much better. I think rookies at Edge tend to jump considerably from their rookie seasons to years 2 and 3.  (Charles Johnson, Mike Rucker, and Greg Hardy were that way-and all became very good in time. Safety seems omitted, but we shall see.  That could be another free agent acquisition.
    • Id like Evans from Duke in the draft as a shooter for the second unit. And probably a more athletic big to replace all, he's good but doesn't really fit the style. White, Evans, green, Williams and center tbd is a pretty good second unit
