no issue from me on Brycen.   I'm pro youth and potential.  
 

I don't even care about Renfrow getting cut in a vaccum.  But keeping Moore over him and just on the roster at all at this point......just highlights we are still poorly run.  Upgrading over Moore is child's play for a front office.  Yet we can't do it. 

I agree.  Moore is a marginal NFL player.  And the advanced analytics bear out that he isn’t very good, but in fact, is more of a minus than a plus.  But we always have to have those guys that we can’t explain as to why they’re on our roster for years.  Honestly, it was the same poo we just did with Plummer.  He should’ve never been on any NFL roster, let alone ours for two years.  Then he gets cut after this preseason, and not just cut, but cut first.  Like I took our FO two years to figure out he wasn’t just bad, but horrible.

Moore made it for special teams.  That's what he does.  Special teams and can step in last year for a couple games if players get injured.  If you are deep on the WR list and can't play special teams you aren't making the team.

I'm convinced this organization doesn't like receivers that can actually catch the football.

Mark my words; they'll trade Thielen for peanuts and trot out XL as our WR2 and have David Moore playing WR3 while Coker rides the bench.

Sadly this could be true

I get it. Games can be lost on special teams

I wish him the best in whatever comes next for him. Not right now doesn't mean never, it also doesn't always mean this thing.

Guy could take everything he's learned and move into coaching.

Yeah.  This feels like politics.

i also suspect they think they’re gonna be able to sneak him back on the practice squad and bring him up depending on what they need week to week.

He doesn't have to sneak on there. He can sign directly. 

If he does not, I would gather this was never meant to be.

[ProcessBlue2]

He’ll end up in Kansas City or somewhere and we’ll look like jackasses in about 2 months.

David Moore is cheap and does multiple things. He makes barely more than UDFAs

Moore is just a ST warm body.  Canales claiming he made it for special teams is just goobly goo for his guy that follows him at every stop.  Then it gets repeated.

He's not subject to waivers. Theres no sneaking

Not to mention he does have a lot of familiarity with Dave and Dan. 

I am not gonna throw a fit about Moore. Horn and Tremayne making it over Renfrow leads me to believe the Panthers did not value Renfrow nearly as highly as most thought.

You are talking about WR 5-6 behind TMac, XL, AT, and Coker.  Yes familiarity it something all coaches do.  They bring on players they liked from the other teams they coached at.  These players know the system with limited reps.  Moore is a NFL special teams player who can fill in and play some outside WR.  That's what you are at these deep WR positions.

This isn't exactly a rare thing, though. This does happen on a lot of NFL teams with guys they just know and trust. Rightly or wrongly.

Horn and Stephens are the ones that reallu made me think they didn't have a high value on Renfrow.
