Bear's side of getting Moore

[DennisM1]

I honestly think Thelin is much better..

[Herb]

I think dj would’ve thrived with young, but fields is not good. Moore is basically gonna go his entire career without having a great qb throw him the ball. He deserves better. 

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

I was a fan. The talent was there, but the drive wasn’t. It’s honestly hard to blame him with how shitty this team has been. 

[ForJimmy]

He was a good young player on a decent contract. I understand why we wanted to keep him. Subtracting him and adding Thielen, Chark, and Mingo makes our WR room better overall. Throwing in a great QB prospect in Young should make them even better. It’s sucked at the time but I’m thinking it was the right move.

Shame they didn't want Chinn

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. 

True #1 WRs dont get neutralized very often, guys like Adams, Jefferson, Hill. Moore is not close to that level, he is more like a brandin cooks.

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. 

Well stated. I fully agree.

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. 

Had a down year for sure in terms of YAC last season but from his rookie year 2018 on his YAC rankings placed him(12th,8th,16th,#12th) respectively. Ironically he has placed elite among receivers in YAC, probably his best trait. Probably need to throw on some more game tape before you say something as illogical as that.

Y’all some haters lol. DJ for his age has like the third most receiving yards all time and he’s done it with absolute trash throwing in the ball and idiot coaches.

He is a legit young talent. There is a reason he is one of the 3 players the Bears wanted and we were hesitant to include him. 

[pantherclaw]

Moore might.niggt have been an true elite receiver but he was our best, and still young.  He'll be missed by me, BUT, we have the talent to be a better receiving core this season.

Another consideration: if Bryce Young's elite processing translates to the pros, it helps neutralize the need for a true #1. He can quickly scan his top 5 options and find the open receiver. Think about Mahomes. I realize Kelce is one of the greatest tight ends of all time, but Mahomes actually had a better year without Tyreek Hill.

Kind of like what happened when we traded CMC. We were forced to look elsewhere. It makes the offense less one dimensional and harder to defend.
