DJ is tops

Forget about just the past 5 games

He is 4th in receiving yards for the entire season, and people are still crying about him not being a 'WR1' because he's not a prototypical 6'3 Calvin Johnson mold.  The game has changed

If the 4th leading receiver in the NFL is not a WR1, I don't know who is.

DJ moore has more yards on the season than Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, Hopkins, etc.  He's only behind Michael Thomas, and the TB twins.

Between CMC's success and the team's failures I kind of feel Moore's accomplishments aren't getting the due they deserve.  

We haven't had a guy in the top 4 in receiving yards since Steve Smith, and in fact, most franchises can go decades without having a top 5 receiver

And he's doing this with a noodle armed backup undrafted quarterback, in a conservative run heavy scheme offense, with an offensive line who can't block for downfield throws.

And aside from just being 4th in total yards, his advanced metrics on Pro Football Focus are elite.  I am really baffled at why there is not more recognition that we have an elite WR1 already on the team.

If DJ Moore is 4th in receiving yards playing with Kyle Allen, you could argue he'd be leading the NFL catching passes from a real quarterback in a modern offense.

A Saint and 2 Bucs are 1,2,3.  Our I-85 rival has Julio and the other top receiver from the DJ draft.

That is why his production is overlooked.  He's quiet and the media ignores us, boom, no love for DJ.

    • Bryce Young has recorded 4 game-winning drives through nine weeks, leading the Carolina Panthers to crucial victories in tight contests. The 12-play, 58-yard clock-killer versus the Packers in Week 9 (16-13 upset). This pace positions him as the team's most clutch performer in years, with a 68.4% success rate on go-ahead drivesalready surpassing many franchise benchmarks early in his career.   Young's early 2025 surge (top-5 league-wide in clutch EPA at 0.28 per dropback) not only outstrips the debuts of Newton (2 in 2011) and Delhomme (1 in 2003) but hints at him climbing this list quickly if the Panthers sustain their wildcard hunt. Data underscores his growth: no other Panther QB hit 4 GWDs before Week 10 in a season.   The energy fans pour into the stadium directly shapes Bryce Young’s performance positive support has been shown to elevate his fourth-quarter efficiency by 12%, strengthening team cohesion and execution under pressure. Criticizing or booing the starting quarterback fractures morale, disrupts focus, and undermines the very resilience needed in clutch moments. When fans stand firmly behind their QB and team, they become a true home-field advantage, amplifying performance and accelerating the path to sustained success. Now are you a Carolina Panther fan or a Panther hater? 
    • Bryce would have extended some plays scrambling with his legs but then again he also has a high number of fumbles so you never know what you're going to get and the way the Bills were getting after Andy (sacked 7 times) it stands to reason Bryce would have been under duress often. What exactly do you want here? I mean I'm going to go by the gameplan I saw after Bryce turned the ball over against GB. Clearly Dave Canales was deliberately trying to limit the opportunities for him to make a catastrophic mistake. And didn't Micah Parsons log zero QB pressures? So with that in mind if you are asking for anyone to argue our offense with Bryce would have had much if any success against that opportunistic motivated Bills defense while we were also splitting carries between Rico and Chuba who had the majority of them which ended up being a situation resulting in a weeks worth of scathing criticism and deservedly so then I'm going to just have to say we can agree to disagree.
