Bear's side of getting Moore


Recommended Posts

Good dude. For me, he always lacked that killer instinct and that was the main issue holding him back from being elite. If he could have channeled even a quarter of that Steve Smith mentality I’d probably regret our decision to move on much more than I do now.

He’s gonna ball out. Gonna have to make a reminder to watch some bears games this season. 

Doubtful. DJ ain’t bailing Fields out of bad situations, he’s not that receiver. And he damn sure isn’t going to fight for the ball or have YAC.

Now if the opposing teams starts playing soft due to being up a couple scores, except big numbers from Moore with a couple/few clutch catches sprinkled in before disappearing, especially when you have to get open in tough situations, you know like in the end zone, where Moore can’t get open to save his life.

Of course that’s if there isn’t an average+ corner on the opposing team who can shut DJ down.

Shall I continue with his blocking and giving up on routes?

Y’all seriously overrate this guy. He’s not worthless but he’s not a #1, or close to it either.

DJ Moore will apparently never play with a qb that can throw the ball. Hasn't had a good one since high school and the trend will continue with Fields.

What was the common denominator for all those qbs?

They played on teams that were stuck with a) DJ as their #1WR and b) a coach dumb enough to put him there.

Dude is just not that good. If he hits 750/5 playing in a stadium designed to prevent modern football from happening, Justin Fields will win the MVP!

Who knows how good he could have been since he was obviously held up by bad qbs, but it makes sense to go get a good wr in the draft on a rookie deal. I think having a lot of different options at wr might be better for Bryce than having a true #1 since he is so good reading the field and finding open guys. You have a true #1 wr and then a drop off and the other team has a true #1 cb to neutralize him.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
