Smitty's broken arm has been a blessing in disguise...

Thats a ton of reps that the other guys are getting, and man do they need it.

Smith commands such respect on the field that he usually gets the ball. That means now in 7 on 7 drills other players are actually getting thrown too more often and not just running the routes.

Moore had a good night tonight and may be pull ahead into that #2 spot.

I have told friends for some time that Moore could have a good shot at being the Panthers #2 WR.

Seems like he is playing good,while making a good case why he should,or could be the # 2 WR.

I actually think it hurts us badly but not how most think....

the biggest questions mark coming into this season is how the DL plays in regards to pressure.....if they can get enough pressure so teams don't pick us apart. Well, if all we have to test the defense is Dwyane Jarrett, LaFell, and Moore.....the defense might not get a true test how effective they are. I mean, you can probably give Jarrett and company more time to run there routes and the secondary still survives and looks effective. No team we play is going to be attacking us with the caliber of WRs our defense is currently seeing. I think not having Smitty hurts the defenses ability to gauge where they are.

wow. how many people actually thought Kenny Moore could start on this team? especially after the dropped punt debacle

I did. The punts is something different, but I realized in last season pre-season he was catching everything that hit his hands

Not too concerned about Moore missing reps with his go-to guy though?

Naw, Steve is one of the best in the league. He's worked with Matt in several games, that'll be fine. They dont have what Jake/Smith had yet, but honestly I wouldn't get nervous over missed practices with each other

ProFootballTalk now reports that insiders at Panthers camp say that Matt Moore is already relegated to the backup spot and many in camp are glad Steve Smith (not the good one) is hurt.

At least he's not gonna punch anyone this time!

What?

Don't know if he has the size to be the opposite of smith. Not that have to have size, but more often than not, ya have a bigger receiver play opposite of the speed guy.

But he should see the field a lot

is kenny fast enough to take on the X receiver role?

if so then that would allow smith to fall into the flanker or slot receiver role where it seems he would more like to be.

i do think that unless lafell is a whole lot of fail, moore's best hope is to be the 3rd receiver. lafell just fits the moose role better than anyone (except for maybe jarrett if he gets a clue).

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
