Kenny Moore has been the star of TC, what are his regular season expectations?

Besides the guys you would expect to be looking great like DeAngelo and Beason, Kenny Moore has impressed the most so far.

What do you think we'll see from him when the games start to count though? Assuming he's the #2 (which you can never do knowing Fox, I wouldn't be surprised to see Jarrett as the #2), what kind of NFL player would you compare him too? When I see him practice, I see a Patrick Crayton-like guy. Looks like he has great hands, works very hard, very intelligent guy that knows exactly what he's doing out there.

smith on one side, jarrett/lafell on the other.

moore will be the WR3 at best. lafell will be on the field more just because of his blocking ability.

still not sold on moore this year but i'm warming up to the idea. i'd like to see him first hand first and then in preseason games before i come anywhere close to being comfortable with him.

Moore is more comfortable with Moore than with any other receiver out there. That will mean Moore will get plenty of playing time and throws.

Here is a pick from today. Moore seems to be tight with Kenny, talks to him frequently and seems more outgoing with him.

Kenny is one of the most likable, down to earth guys you could ever meet. Well-grounded and will outwork anyone else out there. Spent some time working out with him prior to his senior year at Wake and his work ethic was unbelievable. I have no doubt that he will be a significant contributor to the Panthers this season!

I don't think there's a chance in hell that LaFell starts, at least not early on this season. A 3rd round rookie starting at receiver right away, especially with him having a fair number of drops so far? I don't see that happening.

I think your gonna be shocked then. He will be out there for his blocking alone. LaFell will prob hold down the #2 spot.

One of the things that people don't realize about Kenny Moore is that he didn't play WR exclusively in college and had a ways to go as a WR once he made it to the NFL.

He did have enough elusiveness to play RB on an overachieving BCS bound Wake Forest team, so the talent is definitely there. He is also an honest to goodness good guy, so I hope he makes the cut and contributes to this squad. The similarities between KM and Ricky Proehl run much deeper than collegiate ties- they are both hands guys that could fill in nicely in the slot.

Ultimately, I don't think more than 3 real WRs are going to be active on game days. So that leaves Smitty, DJ, Lafell, and Kenny Moore battling out for the 3 jerseys on game days. Obviously Smitty gets one jersey. That leaves DJ, Lafell, and Moore fighting for the two remaining positions.

I liked K. Moore a lot at Wake and was excited when we picked him up. Too bad we had Smith/Moose/Jarrett in front of him so that he barely got any playing time at all. All it takes is an amazing preseason game and he'll show the coaching staff what he's got. I can't wait for preseason to start.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
