I mean at the end of the day it didn’t have to be that dire. Nobody put a gun to our head and forced us to trade DJ Moore.

No diss to DJ, but even with him, I feel our room is much more talented right now.

He wasn't making or breaking us as talented as he is.  He also can't do it all.  I don't think he was happy here, either, after Curtis left.  Something changed.

I don't think anyone who is not associated with the team can say whether or not he was happy being here. All we had were rumors about his personal life.

Regardless. He is still 4th on our all time franchise receiving yards behind only Greg Olsen. So while folks are free to diminish that we still need to see these younger WR's take the reigns and exceed his numbers here.

Moore has been on 7 consecutive losing teams. Its not like he's making much difference.

I only watch Panthers ball, so correct me if I am wrong, but he hasn't been setting the world on fire since leaving either.  He is 20th on the rankings from a quick Goog.

I know he was talented, but he never struck me as having that "dawg" as we like to say.

I hope the young room we have totally change the landscape of our view at WR.

My guy. We shipped him off to the Bears. Yeah it's gonna be tough to win in Chicago.

As for our Panthers. I mean we've had many great players here that have lost a lot. Does that diminish them too?

He was 6th in receiving yards in the entire league the year we traded him.

I don't know why you guys are making me defend this dude lol I still have PTSD from him and the Bears absolutely dragging our defense up and down the field last season. I mean it should be a forgone conclusion that the guy can play regardless of how we feel about him and want to justify the trade.

I don't think there were many happy players on those Panthers teams.

We aren't making you defend him lol

I just view him in a different tier than you do, I feel.  He ain't that guy.

You would have preferred us keep him and stay on the trajectory we were on?  It was a necessary evil in the situation.  We are better today.  (on paper)

Shoot... I'd have taken that 2024 Bears WR room: DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, Deandre Carter, Tyler Scott, Collin Johnson, and Velus Jones Jr (who funny enough, would end up on the Panthers' roster).

Meanwhile, the Panthers had just started the WR room rebuild would end up marching out Diontae Johnson, Adam Thielen, Jonathan Mingo, Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker, Deven Thompkins, David Moore, and Dan Chisena.

Going from Diontae, Mingo, Thompkins, and Chisena to TMac, Horn Jr, and Renfrow is a dub imo.

Diontae and Mingo. There was so much hope with those 2 and Marshall. We really thought we had a receiving room. Hopefully this one turns out better. Still think we're a year away with them. Same room. Just another year of development.

Oh for sure. I'm expecting improvements from XL this season while TMac finds his footing. I'm almost giddy thinking of how 2026 is going to look if the team continues building off of the second half of last season.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
