Carolina Panthers: Starting the decade with some encouragement

A surging Moore

Then there’s the silent killer of the NFC South. A bright spot of the season undoubtedly came from the team’s leading wide receiver. “Mr. Keep-the-drive-alive” plays with heart and focus, and he’s actually comparable to the number-ones in the NFC South despite the lack of recognition .

You can’t get mad at someone who can throw a good block or make a tight catch when he needs to. A breakout year is on the horizon for DJ, and this time it’ll be for the “all” and not the “nothing”.

The real question is who will be the next to step up? Mr. Samuel showed his focus and ball skills with some good endzone catches this year, even winning a coveted “toe drag swag” award on GMFB. Wright has been pretty quiet this year and Hogan was injured for most of the time, but an older veteran is good to have around in a room full of young guns. And, of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Mr. Zylstra who showed off his nose for the ball in week seventeen.
