DJ vs OBJ - Combine / Field Translation Talk

You guys keep really reaching with these comps for Moore.

Moore is a very fluid athlete and moves a lot like Funchess. They run their routes very similar as well. 

They don’t have that sudden foot quickness like the Ridley’s and Beckham’s of the world. That’s why they struggle with certain routes but excel in others.

Its the same reason why Ginn sucked at the curl route. Unless the CB was giving Ginn cushion due to his deep speed, Ginn doesn’t have the quick twitch in him to run the curl effectively.

As long as Norv recognizes this there’s plenty of stuff Funchess and Moore do well to make it work. However if Norv pulls a Shula and tries forcing a square peg in a round hole (Ginn running a curl) there will be issues

Odell was a more polished route runner. Odell had longer arms and bigger hands. My biggest concern with DJ Moore is weather or not he can win downfield and turn 50/50 balls into 70/30. That would make him special. 

I have no doubt he can catch the ball in space underneath and get a few YAC. 

if he starts catching everything hes going to be a 1300+ yard receiver

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
