but a good offensive coordinator

I think I found the fatal flaw in your logic.

 Good point. I was specifically thinking of Dom Capers while I was writing that... classic example of a guy who fits players to his scheme rather than scheme to players.

Wow so Olsen is going to have a Carolina career low targets (excluding last year when he played only 7 games)? I'd be much inclined to take an over/under 85 targets aside from injury for Olsen. I'd take the over. Every day, all day. 

CMC below 100? After he had 113 last year? That's crazy. He's a lock for 120. He's their biggest offensive weapon. What reasoning is there for CMC to drop almost 25 targets from last season? Moore? 

I'd be absolutely shocked if a rookie WR leads the Panthers in targets this season. Not going to happen, although I can appreciate the input from those who think it will. FTR I do not think Moore busts. I just have realistic year 1 expectations. 

Like I said, rough guesses. The distribution is going to change when talent comes in. RB targets went from 70 to 135 when CMC arrived. There is wiggle room there in the numbers I put up. A big assumption I am making is that Funchess and Olsen cancel each other a bit. This was a popular narrative last year but we never got to test it much. How about an adjusted list as follows? Could be a really powerful offense. Anyway I'm not planting my flag on Olsen vs Funchess. Perhaps you're right about Olsen continuing his larger share, but I would see it coming at Funchess expense, not Moore's.

CMC 105

Moore 105

Olsen 100

Funchess 80

Other WRs 50

Other RBs 30

Other TEs 30

Still 500 targets

I think you're forgetting Torey Smith. I think he gets about 50-60 alone. and maybe 30-40 to other wrs. 

the only way Moore gets 100 targets is if Olsen falls at or below 100 and funchess is below 75. I'm not sure I see that happening, but I'm sure it could. it'll be fun to watch I guess
