Do we need to worry about #2 WR

To answer the question, no.

We have Moose, and if anything, the loyalty to Moose is going to hold any other receiver not named Steve Smith, back. Jarrett has been catching almost everything thrown his way. Hackett is good when used also.

A late round pick to develop wouldn't be bad though, cause we all know Steve Smith ain't going to last forever.

But apparently McCown had passed Matt Moore on the depth chart. Can anyone explain that to me in detail why this occured? I expected Moore to have beaten McCown out. When I think about McCown being considered better than Moore, I am troubled by what I see after Delhomme. I'm worried that we have no potential starter after Delhomme?!?

Moore was injured at the beginning of the season. Pretty sure he was anyways.

You should know that Fox will go with a Vet over a youngster when it comes to QB. That being said, Moore got a year to sit on the pine, which is what any good QB needs. Moore has the tools to get it done, and to lead. IMO.

Thank you, Pantherclaw. You're right.

August 28, 2008 - Backup QB Moore injured

PITTSBURGH -- Backup quarterback Matt Moore hurt his left leg late in the third quarter of the Panthers’ NFL preseason exhibition Thursday against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.

Moore, who started the game and had completed 15-of-27 passes for 164 yards and two interceptions, was hit by Steelers safety Anthony Smith.

Moore didn’t return and was taken to the locker room by the team’s training staff.

Moore was a solid No. 2 on the Panthers’ depth chart after playing well in Carolina’s final two games of the 2007 season. An undrafted free agent out of Oregon State, Moore was in the Dallas Cowboys’ training camp last season before signing with the Panthers. --David Scott

I'd love to read more about how Moore is truly a "solid No. 2 on the Panthers’ depth chart". I think any change we make at WR, and not necessarily to WR2, should be built around whatever particular strengths our future starter has, be that Moore or someone else. Shouldn't we expect that from our new QB position coach Scherer?

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
