Where does DJ Moore's first NFL reception rank among the all time greats?

Great breakaway speed, terrible tackling effort

DJ Moore ain't no average dude.  He is 89's spirit animal for a reason.  He didn't go down in college like no punk either.   That terrible tacking effort brings down a lot of our WRs. 

I am no fan of Jennings the commentator but he was spot on about a critique of Fun Fun.  Not to jump topics.  But a lot of our players make catches with the intent of going down when they catch it.

Yeah, we’ve always had a YAC problem around here with 89 being the exception, Smitty would drag dudes for YAC.

As many comps as he's garnered to Smitty, this play just reinforced it.  His first ever NFL reception goes for a huge gain and TD after breaking a tackle.  Well, do you remember what happened on Smitty's first touch in the NFL?  A KR for a TD.  Sure, DJ had a couple of touches before, but for that to be his first reception and he does that?  It puts him in that same class of player to take the first touch of any kind and score.

Also, the way he accelerated past the defenders in traffic after turning up field and everyone else looked like they were running half-speed...  that was a trademark of Smitty.  Haven't seen it in a player here before him or since him on our team, until DJ.

    • Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.
    • I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.
    • Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
