Bears would have accepted Moore, Burns or Brown.

Most valued positions:

tier 1:  QB

tier 2: protection of QB(LT) and pressure/rush on QB(DT/edge)

tier 3: defense against pass attack non-rush (lockdown cornerback)

tier 4: passing weapons (WR/TE)

it’s easier to find competent WR and TEs when you have the other tiers in place…thus Moore was the right one here.  There are outliers like a Kuechly you could place into tier 3 I think but general rule of thumb outline

As much as I think DJ is a great guy, the team made the right decision. DJ wasn't playing up to his contract. Yes, there were QB issues galore and game planning issues, too, but DJ wasn't giving it his all every time he got out on the field.

We cleared a big cap headache for the future and secured some defensive building blocks in the same move. I think they made the right decision and DJ will grab some big paychecks and use them to buy heavier coats.

Good luck to DJ, though.

DJ played with one of the worst series of QB's/Coaches in the NFL over the last several years.  IMO, and with all things considered, he outplayed his contract.

I did some back of the napkin correlations between post season success and position rankings.

Obviously there is a strong correlation between QB and success but weak regarding the defensive line, (not the entire defense).  Most of the top ten defensives lines did not make the playoffs.  WRs rankings had a stronger correlation than the defensive line but not by a lot.

Going in I thought Moore was a better trade than Brown, but maybe not, especially with a young QB.

He absolutely did. Those who've attacked him on here will be the ones creating "We Never Should've Let DJ Go" threads in September.

I actually would have let Burns go.  Largely looking contracts and timelines.  And I am largely assuming the Panthers are going to sign him to a massive deal. 

We just extended DJ Moore.  Contract was decent given what he was.  DJ Moore was an overall complete WR that got it consistently done in the worst of times.   We are drafting a rookie QB we hope to develop. 

Burns is a one dimensional DE.   I think the Panthers are going to pay him like he is a complete and dominant DE.  Which he isn't.  And he isn't a freakshow out of this world pass rusher.   Fine player that I loved to have....but that was rookie contract Burns.   I'm no longer thinking of that dude.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
