NFL.com says Darnold to Moore will be one of league's most exciting new QB-WR combos

Recommended Posts

According to Brandt:

Robby Anderson will ease new quarterback Sam Darnold's transition to Carolina, given that Anderson was a favored target of Darnold's in 2018 and '19, when both players were with the Jets. And you couldn't ask for a better pass-catching option coming out of the backfield than a newly healthy Christian McCaffrey, who twice set a single-season record for receptions by a running back (in 2018 and again in 2019) before losing much of 2020 to injury. But I really like Darnold's chances to build a rapport with DJ Moore, who is coming off a second straight 1,000-yard season. Moore figures to be a key deep threat for Darnold, given that he ranked third in the NFL in yards on deep targets (440) in 2020, finishing third in yards per deep target (18.3) and catch rate above expectation on deep targets (+16.9%) among those with 20-plus such targets, per Next Gen Stats.

DJ will be one of the best wrs in the league if he has a QB who can get him the ball deep. Hopefully that is Sam. If he does I’m expecting 1500-1800 yards and 10+ tds. 
 

I don’t understand how some parts of this fanbase underrate him when he’s produced with qbs who should not be starting in this league.

DJ has the 4th most yards in NFL History before the age of 24.  Only Randy Moss, Mike Evans and DeAndre Hopkins are ahead of him in the entire history of the league.  DJ is criminally slept on.

I'm really excited to see what Darnold and Moore will team up in terms of yards and touchdowns. 

What I am even more excited about is the total weapons we have.  If Darnold can isolate who is being singled covered on each play.  I anticipate that player winning a lot of those battles.  There is no way you can double everyone.  Whether TE, WR and RB someone is going to be singled covered.

It's gonna be fun to watch.

The only thing I could see holding him back from another 1k yard season is the number of targets he'll get because of attention he will be garnering and a solid WR corps presenting more open options for Sam. 

But it's looking like DJ is about as money as Smitty was where you don't need him to be totally open...just get the ball near him and it's his. 

This offense is going to be a 'pick your poison' type of deal, though. Defenses have to worry about DJ, CMC, Robbie (hopefully), Terrace, Ian Thomas (j/k...but seriously Donald and Tremble) and Shi (I'm a believer). And then there's Chubs who will probably see the field a lot.

And also Sam is a threat to run so they've got to watch that as well.

With all those weapons...DJ could find his coverage just thin enough that he can do even more with what he's got. The guy is a YAC beast already and with a spread think defense he could hit 1k fairly easily.

I never saw DJ as the consistent deep threat.

Robbie?  Maybe

Marshall?  Sure

DJ always represented the guy who did not have blazing speed but ran like a RB once the ball was in his hands adding yards to each catch.  Will be a pleasant surprise if he makes it to a consistent long ball threat.

Keep in mind with the multiple targets will will have on the field, DC's will not know who to double team and if Darnold is a quick thinking, and has the time in the pocket, it should be a fun season.

    • Why do I think Bill B has a shot at GM President of Football Operations all of a sudden? A more fun question is, could you imagine Tepper’s reaction to the same situation?
    • Here is how I see the first part of the second round going down: 33. Buffalo:  They need a WR above all else, but they could use DL as well.  Johnny Newton has to look like the best value here, but I expect the pick to be Adonai Mitchell, WR Texas. 34. New England:  They would ideally like to add a LT here, but that would be a reach.  Johnny Newton would also fill a key secondary need, but since Maye is likely to start in September, a WR might be the pick.  WR Ladd McConkey Georgia seems to be a Patriot if you think about it. 35. Arizona:  They need a true stopper at CB.  Cooper DeJean CB Iowa, your wait should end now.  This pick could be Kool Aid, and that would be more appropriate in the desert.  I feel 60% confident that DeJean is a Cardinal if he survives Buffalo, but I feel about 30% confident this could be Kool Aid. 36. Washington:  A team with so many needs is hard to gauge.  They got their QB.  This pick could be Kool Aid, but they could also use OT, WR, TE, and Edge.  They have 2 picks in round 2, so they should take the best available player in a need area:  Kool-Aid McInstry, CB Bama. 37. LA Chargers:  Hard to say what Harbaugh will do, but he needs WR and he could go Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State.  However, I think he could use a bit of DL help, and Johnny Newton DT, sitting there with a mid first round grade is too much value to pass up.  They lost Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, however, and they must be replaced.  The Chargers need multiple WRs.  Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State is the pick. 38. Tennessee:  If Johnny Newton, DL Illinois is there, they RUN to turn in the card.  DL is a huge need.  However, I expect a trade up to snatch Newton before he falls this far.  If he is not there, they could take Jackson Powers-Johnson, C Oregon, giving them 2 stud OL.  The pick is very important because the Titans do not have a third rounder. 39.  Carolina: The Panthers definitely need CB and ILB.  There is some debate over C, and there is a quality C on the board--I do not see them going that route, however.  I think they love Cooper and Wilson, ILBs.  I think they like CB Saintrisil.  All are Dawgs.  They could double dip at WR, but I doubt it here at 39--with 2 LBs on the board and a few CBs as well, they could trade back a bit.  Instead of picking a player, here is a list of Best available that seem to be fits and positions of need: EDGE Marshawn Kneeland.  C  Jackson Powers-Johnson CB Enis Rakestraw LB Edgerrin Cooper LB Payton Wilson CB T J Tampa LB Junior Colson CB Max Melton CB Mike Saintrilsil CB Kamari Lassiter DT Brandon Fisk WR Ja’Lynn Polk WR Jalen McMillan WR Troy Franklin WR Dez Walker WR Roman Wilson WR Brenden Rice WR Malachai Corley     DGE Marshawn Kneeland.  C  Jackson Powers-Johnson CB Enis Rakestraw LB Edgerrin Cooper LB Payton Wilson CB T J Tampa LB Junior Colson CB Max Melton CB Mike Saintrilsil CB Kamari Lassiter
