Calvin Ridley today - 7 catches 146 yards 3TD's

[SOJA]

We knew when ridley was drafted he had a higher floor and was more day one ready. 

 

But it's ridiculous to make any assumptions about Moore at this point, he literally hasn't gotten the chances

Who's discrediting anything that Ridley has done? I haven't knocked his production to date. 

All I'm saying is if you flip Moore and Ridley, they would both be in the same pecking order. Moore would be number 3 in Atlanta and Ridley would be number 4 here. It's less top in competition but if you've been penciled in the top 3 and your team runs more 3 wr sets then you'll see the field. poo our staff has a long history of playing vets above better talented players all the time. 

Only difference is that they probably wouldn't have Ridley learning 3 wr positions here, since we didn't view him as movable of a piece. 

How do you know Ridley would be a #4 WR if he was drafted here?

You are discrediting him right now. Man just call it like it is. Ridley looks better right now.

Why is that hard to admit?

Who is making assumptions about Moore, this thread is people defending him. Im the only one holding Moore accountable. Learn the playbook and routes and get on the damn field. Don't tell me we don't play rookies bull crap. There is a reason why Moore is not seeing the field.

Because he's a rookie

Ron loves vets not rooks

 

 

That simple

We could have the next Julio, AB, or ODBj as a rook.  And he is going to ride the bench to a vet Brandon Lafail to start

 

 

Always has been he11go back to Norwell.  Dude was a undrafted FA but looked good.  While Amini looked like........well typical Amini.  And it took a injury to Amini before Norwell would get PT.  

Theres a reason why people thought Manhurtz would be start over Ian Thomas this year, despite Thomas tearing it up in camp and preseason.

This isnt the only example.  Thats just how Ron runs things.

Bro how is saying Rivera would play vets over him if he was here discrediting him. We played and all-pro guard behind amini just because 

I anticipated him having the better rookie season: passing scheme and playing alongside Julio. Every analyst pretty much said Ridley was in the better situation. 

Ridley balling isn't hard to admit in the slightest bit 

[jumpman910]

And since we speaking of learning playbooks, it must be an easy transition that Steve was Ridleys OC in college.

Are people really shitting on DJ Moore only 3 games in?

Give him more reps at WR, and then we'll talk. This bring em' along slowly 1950's football bullshit from Ron Rivera is the issue.

Frankly some of you guys act like scorned lovers in your grudges you hold toward different players just because they were drafted before one of your favorite prospects. This is why I hardly post here around draft time.

Man I really thought we all knew this poo by now but I guess not.

If anyone thought they were going to trade for Torrey and then bring in a guy that's ran  Norvs system for 3 years and they weren't going to get the nods with funchess then you simply haven't been paying attention to how we operate 

[Mr. Scot]

It's gonna be a long long time before that question can be adequately answered.

People were saying the same mess last year with CMC. After today? 

Moore is going to come along slowly, sadly...whether he should or not.  Atlanta throws the ball a ton more, has Julio, etc. 

Exactly. When we're running for 200 yards a game, forcing turnovers and winning, who gives a damn? Moore is ready when his number is called. When it isn't, and we win, people should get the sticks out of their asses.

False!

Do you remember a rookie by the name of Kelvin Benjamin a couple of years ago was a starter day 1?

Bro if you going to post at least post facts. Ron plays rookies. They just have to earn it.

Im not even going to mention the past few rookies we started on defense the past couple of years.

DJ Moore has to earn his playing time it's that simple. Im thinking it is playbook or practice relate to why he hasn't seen the field as much. An organization just doesn't bench a 1st round rookie for no reason unless it's a QB.

 

So you can miss me with the bull. Sell that crap to someone who doesn't know football ya heard!

[PleaseCutStewart]

Looks like it's time for the annual "X player is a bust because they aren't putting up elite numbers in their 1st year" rants.... Same thing was said about CMC last year and now everyone will say the same thing about Moore this year. When we start giving DJ starting reps, then we can decide.
