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

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
