Stinger226 Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 All the top Free agent WRs are getting 11 mil a year. We have Claypool at 3 and a true number one at 17.5 apt, I think that's outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted March 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 I don't know if people realize how good DJ Moore is. Since his rookie year (2018), there have been 11 WRs with a total of 300 receptions and 5000 yds, with Moore being one of them. However, if you sort those 11 by Yards Per Reception, Moore is 2nd only to Mike Evans. Tyreek Hill is 3rd. Here is the list sorted by Y/R, now think about the other WRs and the QBs they had over that span and what Moore had to deal with in Carolina. He is also the youngest of this group. 1. Evans 2. Moore 3. Hill 4. Cooper 5. Lockett 6. Adams 7. Diggs 8. Godwin 9. Hopkins 10. Kupp 11. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearFan2000 Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Liked his sit down with Jeff Joniak. Comes across as a down to earth chill dude who’s a hard worker. I love his toughness and desire to do all the little things. Whatever it takes attitude. Definitely the type of vet you want around the locker room and WR group.

Just show up and work, and do it the right way. He should fit in with Fields, Mooney, and Kmet very quickly. If Claypool had issues with route running or maybe not focusing on football as much as we'd like, I think this group is going to pull him up to their standard. A rising tide lifts all ships.

With how they’re re-building this team, a lot of young players and others from other teams, having a guy like this is key to success. I’m blown away with how mature and low key (personality wise) he is. Great character kid. Will really be a stabilizing force. In another interview he was asked about how he feels coming to Chicago with a consistent figure at QB rather than the “mess” he experienced in Carolina. He snickered and said he ‘wouldn’t call it a mess’ and said he’s looking forward to what will happen in Chicago. Perfect answer. He’s not necessarily the big bodied WR I prefer but “more better”. (Phrase a friend of mine always uses). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 It's summer and quiet while everyone is away but Dan Durkin put together a good breakdown of what DJ Moore brings to the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 I always liked Durkin, was wondering where he ended up, started at the SCORE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
