he is sick of the bullshit, we have literally killed his love for the game. thanks Rhule!

If bad years kill your love for the game you never had any. Larry Fitzgerald played years and years with crappy QBs and still put up solid HOF numbers. Not once did that man coast and it's why he was fun to watch. You can literally see DJ give up on a play after a defender touches him. Coaches see that and when the new coach starts rebuilding the WRs DJ might not be there.

For all the folks defending him, please rewatch the tape.  Getting open is a matter of high effort on every play, regardless if you are the intended target or not.  DJ is not doing that, and it's not the first time he's been lazy.

DJ has the ability to be Steve Smith.  But he's not playing NEARLY at the effort level of 89.  He's not even playing at the level he has shown in the past.

If we see these sorts of metrics, the coaching staff sees them.  And then it becomes a loop.  Staff sees he isn't getting open, they call fewer plays for him, so his effort goes down, and he gets open less, staff sees . . . etc. 

DJ can control one thing:  his effort.  It's currently not there and it's very fair to call it out, even when we like the player.

This. It's the funchess metric. Dude was a good WR but if he didn't get the ball it was coasting all game. I remember seeing a quote from a DB in the 90s and he said he would always know when the cowboys were running the ball because Irving wouldn't Velcro his gloves together because he knew he wasn't getting the ball. This is the same for DJ Moore. The reason the Ball is going to CMC way too much is because DJ isn't getting open and doing his job.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
