Ridley would have been just fine as well...hes a great player in his own right, but I am very happy with DJ.  He just need to find the end zone more and he will start to get that national love. 

Yea, I think that Ridley is very good as well.

Glad DJ is getting some love.

Won't lie... When we drafted DJ Moore I almost put a hole in my TV. I definitely preferred Calvin Ridley. But glad I was wrong and glad to have another reason why I am not an NFL analyst.

Ridley is just as good as DJ, the difference is DJ is two years younger.

I had a co-worker tell me a couple of years ago that the team was going to regret drafting DJ Moore.

Hasn't happened yet, but can't revisit that discussion with him since we're no longer working together.

The most memorable thing about last season though is that Moore never really seemed to have good chemistry with Bridgewater. It'd be nice to see that change with Darnold.

You’re right. There were countless plays last year where DJ had his guy beat and Teddy didn’t even glance his way. If Darnold can get some chemistry going with DJ imagine what kind of numbers he can put up! One thing is certain, and that’s Darnold won’t be afraid to launch it down the field to give him a chance.

DJ's flourishing talent is a pleasant surprise.  One of the more exciting developments I have witnessed from him is his mastery of the route tree and better movement. He shows much improved ability to get open on his own in comparison to previous years, a positive development I was doubtful about. 

Certainly love that DJ has proven me wrong and shows promise to be an absolute menace to defenses.

I am hoping that consistency in the QB position will unleash him into the monster he now can be. Hopefully Darnold is the answer and we get to see a beautiful connection between them. Or, at the least, just a simple improvement over the atrocity that was Bridgewater.

Tell me about it.

Last year I didn't even want to watch and couldn't wait for the season to be over.

I can't wait for this year to start.

    • agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it. 
    • I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.
    • I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
