I Think We Will See More of DJ Moore

Would just like to remind everyone that a year ago today Alvin Kamara was hardly playing and was a third string RB behind Ingram and AP. Everyone needs to relax about DJ Moore. He's only 21 and came from a very simple offense in college. His talent is obvious and any week now he'll start seeing much more touches and hopefully burst onto the scene.

And for anyone that is worried about Torrey Smith or for those of you who think Rivera is too loyal to vets, think back to Jason Avant in 2014. After it was clear that him and Cam just didn't have good chemistry together, Avant hardly played and eventually got cut. It's starting to look to me like Torrey Smith is like Avant and just doesn't fit where Wright is more like Cotchery. With Moore emerging and Samuel back soon, I can guarantee you that Torrey Smith will start seeing less time on the field unless he starts consistently producing

I hear ya Ron.

Whether you like it or not, it's true. Trying to teach him all three positions rather than throwing him out there to be purely a slot receiver is a long term play for a guy who is going to be here and be very successful. Again, I suspect the training wheels will be taken off in Week 5, while they may be loosened up in Week 3.

I should have done this for you: :tongue:

But sure, I get being prepared - that's good. But there are always ways of simplifying plays / calls for the rookies. For me it's risk vs reward. If you've got a player that can change a game with their talent, you find a way to get them on the field in a capacity that they can handle.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.

      Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.

      as a starter, Shough is better this year in all the aspects I shared with you.  Facts. You disputed nothing I said because I’m talking starts and my numbers are right
