It would be interesting to see what DJ would do if we had a legit franchise QB on the roster. We know he can get deep, but he's also an excellent runner after the catch. He'd be an all-pro candidate if he had Brady, Brees, Rodgers, or Mahomes throwing the ball to him in stride. 

Still that ranking isn't terrible. Each team will usually have 2 WR's on the field at all times...some even use 3 for the majority of the snaps. If we multiply 32 x 2 we get 64. The PFF ranking place DJ well above the top 50% in the league (24/64=37.5%)

I just hope we can get him a QB before he decides it's time to move on to greener pastures.

No he’s not, Adams gets perfectly placed football by the mvp.  DJ had to make circus catches every time Teddy threw deep

To be fair, Adams is much better in the red zone. The red zone is where Moore can stand to improve the most but Teddy is absolutely not the right fit to help him do that. Teddy's limitations as a QB are most evident in the red zone.

Who throws the ball has nothing to do with how PFF grades receivers. It's based on a play by play and individual basis, and graded on if the receiver had a positive play, a negative play, or a neutral play. 

If DJ had to make a dope ass catch because Teddy threw it like crap, he would be rewarded.

Adams was the best WR in the league this year. His route running is Elite and he caught anything thrown near him. 

DJ's routes are OK, and he did fine but Adams was a monster all year.

You're not thinking it through.  There were plays there for DJ that Teddy simply couldn't or didn't make.  Those don't figure in to his grade from what I understand.  The grades are based on plays where he was actually the target.

This is why an NFL arm is required to allow DJ to really be his best.  There were numerous examples of plays where DJ was in great position to make a big splash play and Teddy didn't even look at him.  An NFL arm will really make that offense scary because the deep threat is 100% real with our WR's.

      We had so much dead cap-- When Dan Morgan was promoted to general manager and president of football operations for the Carolina Panthers in January 2024, the team was facing a substantial $69.3 million in dead cap space for the 2024 NFL season--that is like taking the annual salaries for three or four elite players and throwing them away. Most teams only have about 6-8 elite players (Hunt, Moton, Horn, Brown, Lewis, Ekwonu, Young for now) and these are the players that win games. Imagine being able to rip 3 players off any opponent's roster before playing them--that is how handicapping this is. Morgan had the challenge of keeping the core together, protecting Young, and filling other positions through the draft and not free agency.  Our WR room is young, our TEs are generic, our LBs (yikes), our edge people are discount low-budget and rookies--We lucked out with Mike Jackson--but his drafts have been solid--yes, he drafted XL, but that was because it was a desperate move--but he also signed Coker.  Yes, he drafted Brooks--but he also signed Dowdle.  Aside from those draft picks, our rookies and sophomores are making a difference.  TMac, Coker, Horn Jr (WR), Evans, Sanders, Wallace, Jackson (DT), Scourton, Tremaine, Princely, Smith-Wade,  and Ransom have made a difference.  When you consider that only 50% of first rounders work out--he is 1-2.  About a third of second rounders work out--he is 1-2 (at this time).  But when you consider that about 30% of all draft picks make a roster, Morgan's rate is incredibly high.

      I don't hate him, I just don't believe he is an elite player at all.  I agree that Cristobal is a far better coach than Smart. Miami definitely has the better weapons but they are not the better team. I would be fairly shocked if they can keep it within 2 scores.
