Calvin Ridley Didn't Have A Single Catch

I think Moore is Definitely going to be better

 

But I wouldnt laugh so fast about a Rookie going Catchless in his first game.

 

Moore has a very good chance he could do the same.

 

Right now he is behind

Funchess

Smith

Wright

CMC

Olsen

Ian Thomas

 

As far as targets go. 

a number 1 pick behind a number 4 pick that's a backup tight end. Guess we should have went Thomas in round one. We will see. Hopefully Moore has a coming out party.

[RumHam]

Still should cut Torrey Smith

How it goes with rookie receivers, especially outside guys. I really wouldn't worry about DJ Moore though guys. He's a different player than Ridley and Norv will try to get the ball in his hands to make a play early. Maybe even the first offensive series.

The Colts drafted some scrub WR toward the end of the 1st round back in the day. I think his name was Reggie Wayne or something like that. He also went without a catch in his first game. Hell, he had less than 400 yards his entire rookie season. I wonder whatever happened to that guy? Surely he was a bust.

Yeah we just had a thread on here last week about whether or not Moore would even be active week 1 so lets not start sucking each other ***** just yet about a lack of 1st round pick production.

Were running more 2 TE sets under Norv, hence why Thomas gets more target

And slim to none 4 WR sets, hence Moore getting less targets

@CarolinaSunday just posted this in the game day thread.

WR is a tough position to transition to. Isn't it usually year 3 when these guys take a big leap?

That's DE. Usually WR is one of the easiest transitions.

Feed the stud.

Really Matt Ryan is just overrated and a shitty QB. Jalen knows what's up.

We need a sarcasm button btw.

Seconded.

Way way way too early to judge Ridley, and a bad idea to start making comparisons when we haven't seen our own rookie receiver yet.

When they're supposed to be a playmaker, it certainly is.

You better curb your expectations for Moore now, or it's gonna be a longggg season bud.

I can't wait for Sunday! From what I've seen our offense would have done better than the Eagles last night. The game against us is even bigger next week. They've got a lot of work to do because starting 0-2 at the hands of your division rival is even worse.

The guys gotta handle business Sunday. I really think that the type of player DJ is translates better into the NFL and am confident that he will have a better first game. He is Smittyesque and I hope he studied #89 and continues.

Really don't think we should be throwing stones here until we see what our #1 pick does in his first NFL game.
