Big Monday: Moore, Connor, Davis to IR


Laetitia

Recommended Posts

Just another Monday at Bank of America Stadium.

Panthers coach John Fox announced that QB Matt Moore (torn right labrum) and MLB Dan Connor (hip surgery) would be placed on injured reserve, knocking two starters out of an already thin lineup.

As to this week's game at Tampa Bay, Fox said either Jimmy Clausen or Tony Pike would be counted on to start, while the team would look to add another passer to fill the roster spot.

The crowd on the street at the moment isn't good, headlined by JaMarcus Russell, Joey Harrington, Patrick Ramsey and Brian St. Pierre (the best of the rest are locked into UFL contracts).

Fox even suggested that he might give Armanti Edwards some looks as the emergency quarterback this week.

Without Connor, the Panthers will move Jon Beason back inside to MLB, and let either Nic Harris or Jordan Senn (and perhaps even newcomer Jason Williams) compete for time at WLB.

Oh by the way, they're not going to activate WLB Thomas Davis from the physically unable to perform list, ending his attempt to come back from two torn ACLs in less than a year.

one has to wonder if fox is making as many attempts as possible to divert this season's failures away from himself. jerry handcuffs his personnel decisions, won't sign veterans, cuts veterans - and now the team's starting quarterback and two linebackers are done for the season, otah's probably next.

    • More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?
    • That is literally what I am talking about. Those were 53 man cuts. Not at the beginning of camp.  I would say the odds of Barno being back are extremely thin.
