Argument the other way would be…to this date Moore has still never played with a very good passer.   

and the Panthers play style who leaned to the ground game. 

I mean, 89 who is our GOAT….in reality didn’t score a lot on per season basis.  He had 2 seasons scoring more than 7 TDs in a long 16 year career and one of those was just reaching 8. 

89 is probably the most underrated WR all time. If you look at how little he was targeted verses his contemporaries it’s not hard to imagine he would have broken records if he got to play with Manning, Warner, or Brady in his prime.

I mean Moore really struggles to score and that imo takes him out of the #1 conversation. But a lot of people think there are 32 #1 WRs just because technically there are but I feel the standards should be higher.

You absolutely cannot have or call a WR a #1 if they cannot make something happen in the end zone imo.

If you take away one game vs. the god awful Commaders, he had 5 TDs all season. Theilen had 4 and a few hundred less yards. 

That said he still was still was not overpaid and is a solid offensive peice. It was stupid to trade him, unless we got Stroud.

Now the CMC trade and this franchise’s dumbass ability to use properly, along with the majority of the huddle saying he was just a running back that could be replaced by Foreman, and before that, Mike Davis (lol) was a millions times more baffeling.
 

 

Ehh I disagree. Julio Jones was a notoriously terrible TD and red zone guy yet he was not only a #1 but one of the best weapons in the league period and demanded a ton of defense’s attention. Moore is a low end #1, probably a top 15 WR.

Smitty? Moore? 

One is great, one is good. I'll let y'all figure it out. And don't make excuses about passers, QBs, blah blah blah. That's what WR1s do: they produce on a consistent basis regardless. 

89 averaged 5 TDs per year in the NFL.  The point was merely TDs aren’t the end all be all for a WR. 

Moore and 89 played for teams that believed in running the football in when you got close.  Just running period. 

and even if you cherry pick out 89’s rookie year and the year broke his leg….he still just averaged 5 TDs per year in the NFL. 

DJ Moore is without question a #1.  He has finished top 11 in 4 out of his 6 years in yards.   One of those he didn’t was his rookie year.   If DJ Moore isn’t a #1 then in reality there are less than 10 in the NFL by that skewed framework

SOOOO many people on this site were adamant he wasn't a #1 WR lol

I dont know about 'SOOO" many, probably more like 1-2 vocal people.  Many people here, myself included were upset that we traded him. I actually dont even recall anyone saying he wasnt a #1 WR.

Pride and ego. 
 

You know folks don’t like to be wrong lol

That one hurts either way. Four 1000+ yard seasons out of six in this dumpster fire but he isn't a #1 WR...

A WR doesn't have to be insta HOF material to be good. Trading up for a QB and getting rid of the only good WR was so incredibly dumb. I hated that trade when it happed and still find it mindboggling. That's not even brining up watching Burns walk lol

Those people don't know football. Look at the QBs he was playing with. Hell people trash Fields and he had a career year with him at QB.

 

Moore is the real deal. If he had a Mahomes/Burrow throwing him the ball he would probably be the best WR in football.

He was constantly compared to Smitty and that’s not exactly fair

      Moton Meets the Press

      Moton is the man through and through. 2 things I'll always give Gettleman credit for, 1 is drafting Moton, the other is building a SB contending roster and blowing it up in one off-season

      The Carolina Huddle

      Kurb is still alive and well.  I’m still friends with him on all of the social media.  He truly is a great man!  That’s my bro!  He always looked out for me since the early days of the huddle.  It definitely makes me sad that he just quit posting here, but that’s life.  He still shares his takes on social media and X, but a lot of the huddle vets just grew tired of this format and the environment, I guess?  It’s a lot of guys that were valuable contributors here that just stopped posting but are still alive and passionate Panthers fans.  Blindsite used to post huge write-ups and was a well-respected poster and then just disappeared.  We had one of these type threads several years ago and he checked back in and explained he just lost the motivation to stay active here.  It was amazing hearing from him again…   I signed up in 04 after coming over from the Charlotte.com boards and been here ever since.  (For those that don’t know - this is Proudiddy - had to change the name very recently due to ‘ol tootsie roll penis and the bad press 😂).  I’m forever thankful for all of you, even those who I haven’t had the greatest history with, I still appreciate yall.  Many have come and gone, both figuratively and literally, and that has put a lot into perspective over the years.  I went from a young, newly married, wide-eyed twenty year-old guy with a baby on the way, to a now forty-two year-old guy, recently divorced and newly re-married guy with my oldest baby now an adult and 5 more kids since.  And what ride it has been!  You guys have been a much bigger part of my life than I really care to acknowledge.😂
