Will DJ Moore become a solid weapon for Cam Newton?

[Shocker]

Well Saca hates Landry who has 400 catches in 4 yrs so, no he wont live up to Huddle standards.

People probably won't be satisfied. I would be very surprised to see him eclipse 1000 yards.

On the stats sheet, I doubt he'll be one that will light it up his rookie year. Unless he fixes up all his technique issues by the season start, he'll relegate a role in the slot and help fill in for Cam's easy lay-ups. Now, he will make big plays because of his explosive nature and YAC ability, but I don't think we'll see him be someone who'll stretch down the field deep. I see Torrey Smith and Curtis Samuel given that role. 

However, he will be a weapon Cam needs. Christian McCaffrey last year was pretty much the only one who could effectively be used in the short-intermediate range. While he's versatile and good at that, it's not ideal to keep using your runningback in that role without some help. Moore helps ease CMC back into the primary runner role while helps fill in for CMC's short-intermediate impact.

So, by solid, I primarily mean someone who makes an impact and positively helps the offense. DJ Moore's floor is precisely the role this offense lacks. Success = solid, and I expect DJ Moore to achieve that.

I would agree with that.  I'm just afraid too many people get caught up in 1000 yards being some artificial threshold that defines doing well.

 

I posted this in another thread but I'll put it here also,

In the last 3 drafts there have been 13 WRs drafted in the first round.

Only one has had more than 65 catches in a season or more than 800yards.  That is in any season , not just their rookie season.

Only 3 have had more than 50 catches or 650 yards.  (maybe Funchess wasn't as bad as a pick as some on here thought)

 

I don't expect him to put up so called #1 or maybe even #2 numbers but I think he has the chance to add a dimension to our offense, which in itself that would be a success.

What nickname will Cam give Moore? Maybe DJam?

what makes you think that?

Our history with the wr position. I hope he does well not getting excited until I see him in a real game.

His combine was similar to Sammy Watkins.  He ran right at the same time as Percy Harvin and is 15-20 lbs heavier.. Dude has sick talent and workout numbers cannot deny that.

I don't see how garbage affects ones ability to run a route effectively. Route running is route running. You either know it or not. Garbage time doesn't affect how a person runs his routes against situation x. Sure, you can argue the playcalling differs based on garbage time or not, and the type of routes run, but realistically garbage time is not a variable in one's ability to run a certain route.

it is when the game is so out of reach so it's just basically stat pading because the d isnt trying. same poo happened with bortles a few years ago.

 You have been repeatedly saying this.  Aside from being totally ignorant about the guy, you also seem to be totally ignorant about being a fan.  You said this once, we disagree.  No need to repeat it every time his name is mentioned in a thread.  It simply makes you seem as if you are hoping he busts so you can tell everyone "I was right. Told you."  That is sad.

The fact is, many WRs bust.  Nobody knows who will and who won't.  A lot of football IQs evaluated Moore and determined him to be either the best or the second best WR in the draft.

Thanks for your red flag alerts.  Every player drafted has them.  We get it.

>repeatedly saying this

in what, two threads?

 

>totally ignorant about the guy

certainly more knowledgeable than the majority of people here

>No need to repeat it every time his name is mentioned in a thread.  It simply makes you seem as if you are hoping he busts so you can tell everyone "I was right. Told you."  That is sad.

lmao you are sad if you think two threads is constantly repeating myself. im sorry that people are too retarded to read my arguments in the thread i made so i have to constantly repeat myself, not my problem. that's mostly why i havent responded to the posts in that thread as of late.

Not seeing the football acumen you profess to have.  You started a thread about  your opinion. A thread dedicated to some theory about the #1 draft pick being a bust.  Then you repeated the theory.  More than once is repeated, by the way. 

I am no newb here and I surely don't pretend to know more than the scouts, coaches, and GMs--much less everyone else.  I stand by the post---if you want to predict busts, go to a competitor's thread with that high IQ of yours.

I was wondering if Saca will ever become a better thread starter?

[rmoneyg35]

Asking this question now is stupid. Maybe miss Cleo will know. 

 

Anyhow, you can have all the talent in the world, high football IQ, work ethic etc. then end up being a bust because of some rare injury.

Yep. Could even be better than Harvin tbh.

Great write up brother.

 

I think DJ will add a somewhat non existent consistency we haven't had but early on it could be rough.. maybe a lot of INTs from Cam going his way. I see Sean Payton spending hours on a simple scope put on Cam to DJ throughout the game. Which opens up big plays for CMC, Samuel, Byrd, or even a new game for Cams running to fake a pass with eyes downfield and get a first down.

 

I hope Norv isn't changing every god damn thing to screens, mad short passes. If he wants to be all about "efficiency" with Cam Idk if he can force it into our play style. I feel early on defenses are going to expect the short game and just keep everything down in the box, sending LBs to mess with our O line since Norwell is gone. Im excited to see what DJ can do but I will be patient. Im more curious/excited to see this years Panthers offense than I have in sometime. We have no idea whats new, who's playing, who's sitting on the bench, how the division reacts. 

 

Going to be a fun seasons boys!
