Looks like a reasonable deal. Good for him. Hoping to see him get the best opportunity to ball out. This puts the passing offense under even more of a microscope now. We better field a top 25 unit this year....

I'm of the viewpoint that in no way should David Moore push out any younger up and coming receivers no matter how much people may talk up his value on special teams.

Knicks definitely have diehard fans. Unfortunately the average joe types are priced out from the playoff tickets. So the celebrities get the recognition more often than not which is a shame.

Yeah one big factor has been he is surprisingly quite durable. But the reality of that aspect is much of it boils down to plain dumb luck more often than not. Big guys get hurt smaller guys get hurt it happens across the league to anyone to varying degrees. The issue is we are staring down the barrel of a possible top 10 QB salary and Bryce Young is one of the least physically gifted starters in the league. That is not a shot at him it is simply a rational acknowledgment of circumstances. There is a legitimate question to be asked if his window as a starter in this league is smaller as a result because what is going to happen when those hits that he has previously popped right back up from with a smile on his face begin to accumulate as they do for every player that has been in this league? These are just things to consider.

David Moore is 31 years old and averages 352 yards per season at peak form. I really doubt we would have to concern ourselves with someone swiping him off our practice squad.

It's more noticeable below. But he's definitely still looking lean so that's a good thing.

That fanbase really took an easy layup and incinerated any shred of goodwill that they might have accumulated. I've largely been indifferent to them. But those people going around just beating up others like neanderthals deserve only the worst. The Knicks can tumble right on back down to the cellar where they belong.

Apparently TMac has been nursing a "foot issue" that the team has been rather vague about. But he did say that he put on 10-15 lbs in the offseason. Brazzell continues to impress for a rookie. It's unfortunate we are so limited to updates at this point in time. But there is a summary from yesterday on the Panthers website.

I liked Tim Duncan with the Spurs but other than that the franchise can get bent. They are only in the Finals because the league orchestrated it. Go Knicks.

Historically it's always been this way for the Panthers. The Tepper era certainly hasn't helped.

Yeah this is going to be the general sentiment from outside observers who have actually dug into the real data (not made up fluff metrics) until the Panthers go out and answer multiple key looming questions about the team from top to bottom.

This WR market is an absolute mess. How many people remember the conversations about DJ Moore before his first contract extension here? Three consecutive 1k yard seasons and a revolving door at QB and he only got $41 million guaranteed back in 2022.

In 2021 the Panthers were 15th in sacks in 2022 when this trade offer was supposedly made we were 25th and by 2023 we were dead last in the entire league. By comparison our offensive output was 30th in 2021 29th in 2022 and 32nd in 2023. Simultaneously in 2021 we had given up the 5th most sacks in the league. And by 2023 we had given up the 3rd most sacks. As much as people can rightfully say Fitterer was atrocious beyond words as a GM and talk about how much they wanted those picks. For one thing we were anywhere from awful to mediocre at best in drafting. And for two. No one actually wanted to wait around with the worst pass rush in the entire league and a bottom 3 passing offense paired with one of the worst offensive lines in the meantime. Either way you cut it with or without those picks at that time under that plethora of additional circumstances we weren't going to accomplish anything meaningful anytime soon.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
