Smitty's broken arm has been a blessing in disguise...

Thats a ton of reps that the other guys are getting, and man do they need it.

Smith commands such respect on the field that he usually gets the ball. That means now in 7 on 7 drills other players are actually getting thrown too more often and not just running the routes.

Moore had a good night tonight and may be pull ahead into that #2 spot.

I have told friends for some time that Moore could have a good shot at being the Panthers #2 WR.

Seems like he is playing good,while making a good case why he should,or could be the # 2 WR.

I actually think it hurts us badly but not how most think....

the biggest questions mark coming into this season is how the DL plays in regards to pressure.....if they can get enough pressure so teams don't pick us apart. Well, if all we have to test the defense is Dwyane Jarrett, LaFell, and Moore.....the defense might not get a true test how effective they are. I mean, you can probably give Jarrett and company more time to run there routes and the secondary still survives and looks effective. No team we play is going to be attacking us with the caliber of WRs our defense is currently seeing. I think not having Smitty hurts the defenses ability to gauge where they are.

wow. how many people actually thought Kenny Moore could start on this team? especially after the dropped punt debacle

I did. The punts is something different, but I realized in last season pre-season he was catching everything that hit his hands

Not too concerned about Moore missing reps with his go-to guy though?

Naw, Steve is one of the best in the league. He's worked with Matt in several games, that'll be fine. They dont have what Jake/Smith had yet, but honestly I wouldn't get nervous over missed practices with each other

ProFootballTalk now reports that insiders at Panthers camp say that Matt Moore is already relegated to the backup spot and many in camp are glad Steve Smith (not the good one) is hurt.

At least he's not gonna punch anyone this time!

What?

Don't know if he has the size to be the opposite of smith. Not that have to have size, but more often than not, ya have a bigger receiver play opposite of the speed guy.

But he should see the field a lot

is kenny fast enough to take on the X receiver role?

if so then that would allow smith to fall into the flanker or slot receiver role where it seems he would more like to be.

i do think that unless lafell is a whole lot of fail, moore's best hope is to be the 3rd receiver. lafell just fits the moose role better than anyone (except for maybe jarrett if he gets a clue).

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
