DJ Moore

[PantherBoy95]

I read that he's about to set personal bests this year...
Trying not to be bias, or just thinking about the teams record.

How do you feel about his performance this year?
How do you feel about his potential in the future?

He is an asset, what he has been doing is encouraging through the BS. I’ve watched the games didn’t need to see the stats, he’s dropped some as everyone else and remained a threat like……

nobody else.
 

He isn’t elite yet but with the environment he has had to be a part of..can you blame him? 
 

What personal best did you read he would accomplish?

He has both been hampered by the terrible QB play, as well as not played up to his potential all at the same time.

"Moore is just 62 yards shy of recording his third straight 1,000-yard season. If he is able to play in the team's final four games of the season, there's a real possibility that he could notch career highs in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns in a single season. He needs 16 catches, 256 yards, and one score to set new personal bests."

I wanted to let a few others get their thoughts off without jading the tone of the thread.  I think I'm just traumatized from having Steve Smith, because while I know Moore is good, and has potential. For him to be setting personal bests this year is surprising.  I just rarely see that WOW factor from DJ or that DOG in him.  But he's definitely a solid guy, and I think he'll eventually just make a great #2 in his career.

With all the holes we have and making that decision to extend Robby before the season even started for whatever reason and having to pay Darnold we may have to let DJ walk or trade him.   He’s not worth elite money.  Go with Robby, Marshall, Shi, and a cheaper veteran and late draft pick.   Wait til we get a QB to start paying receivers again.

That man finds a way to produce no matter what and people complain about his “fire”

 

he definitely stacks yards while it feels like he isn’t but that likely has more to do with the other first string players and coaches on the roster losing these games along with him. 
 

I’d love to see our offense without Dj and see what people say… especially with when CMC is hurt

Those numbers are kind of impressive considering all

[pantherj]

Lock DJ up long term. He has a rugged build that helps him to take hits and keep on trucking. The last thing we need is to add another hole to a team that has holes everywhere. We have a number 1 WR on the roster and he needs to stay here. Rhule is not going to rebuild again, so there is no need to dump talent like DJ. Now this changes if Rhule is fired.

We will likely target another vet QB to come in and start, and draft a QB as well if we can find an ideal fit. The tear down period is over. If we let DJ walk then it's going to be a blood bath of dumping other vets and guys wanting new contracts. I don't see that happening.

He's a keeper.

[TheCasillas]

Id honestly extend him or trade him this off-season. No middle option. 
 

my reason for extension, talented player that would be elevated with solid QB play (see Chris Godwin) 

 

my reason for trade, he could get us potentially two picks, if not a mid to late first. Right now where the team currently is positioned for assets in the draft, this could weigh more than his Sunday roster spot.

I agree; there is just something about him that doesn't seem to be there that all elite receivers have.  And I could be wrong CB's around the league may look forward to matching up with DJ.  He just doesn't seem to have that 'IT' factor. 

The numbers are there though, and I mean those are what help get you paid.

Would love to see him with a real qb, but he also has a tendency to run some lazy routes. With that said, I want the ball in his hands as much as possible. He has an incredible motor and toughness.  

[JawnyBlaze]

He’s a great player but his effort lags when the going gets tough. More than most. He’s be one of the great ones if we had the QB, OL and coaching to keep him motivated. I do want to keep him but not at top dollar. Hopefully next year’s regime is enough to bring 100% out of him.
