Moore's concussion is a blessing in disguise

I'm a Moore fan and I'm not celebrating the fact that he got a concussion, but if this concussion forces him to sit out against Tampa then this is a blessing in disguise, because we'll get a chance to see how Clausen does with the first team against a reasonably tame opponent without pulling Moore out.

If Clausen does well, Fox could use the "hot hand" excuse to leave him in there and if he does poorly, or so-so, then we can go back to Moore without any hard feelings.

I also think if we resign Rhys Lloyd it could help Moore with being comfortable again as the starter. Lloyd was Moore's best friend on the team since he's been here and could offer the guy some much needed support.

Agree, anything to make Matt more comfortable is a good thing.

But if our oline doesn't play any better than it did against the Giants, then Pike better be ready to play.

Yes, that was a pitiful display for a line that is supposed to be top 5 in the league. Pitiful. At least during his one series Sunday Clausen did show good pocket awareness in his own freaking endzone and shook off a safety sack from Tuck and just threw the ball out of bounds. I was cheering that play, thats literally how sad it had gotten.

Ofcourse you would say that, I haven't seen you post since the season started...Coincidence? I don't think so. :D

Yes, but Tampa is a familiar foe and it's early enough in the season that there's plenty of time for that work to get done if we go back to Moore.

Pshhh I posted a couple times. Trying to curb my fanaticism about the Panthers since then end of last season. Isn't working very well though.

...and yea, I was a little disappointed when they cut Lloyd as we share the same first name. :D

I even made a new wallpaper, but no one cared. :(:(:(

      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.
