DJ is tops

Forget about just the past 5 games

He is 4th in receiving yards for the entire season, and people are still crying about him not being a 'WR1' because he's not a prototypical 6'3 Calvin Johnson mold.  The game has changed

If the 4th leading receiver in the NFL is not a WR1, I don't know who is.

DJ moore has more yards on the season than Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, Hopkins, etc.  He's only behind Michael Thomas, and the TB twins.

Between CMC's success and the team's failures I kind of feel Moore's accomplishments aren't getting the due they deserve.  

We haven't had a guy in the top 4 in receiving yards since Steve Smith, and in fact, most franchises can go decades without having a top 5 receiver

And he's doing this with a noodle armed backup undrafted quarterback, in a conservative run heavy scheme offense, with an offensive line who can't block for downfield throws.

And aside from just being 4th in total yards, his advanced metrics on Pro Football Focus are elite.  I am really baffled at why there is not more recognition that we have an elite WR1 already on the team.

If DJ Moore is 4th in receiving yards playing with Kyle Allen, you could argue he'd be leading the NFL catching passes from a real quarterback in a modern offense.

A Saint and 2 Bucs are 1,2,3.  Our I-85 rival has Julio and the other top receiver from the DJ draft.

That is why his production is overlooked.  He's quiet and the media ignores us, boom, no love for DJ.

    • If my reply comes off argumentative, that is not my intention so please don’t take it as such.  You said one word, probably subconsciously, in your post that immediately disqualifies him from being a QB in the NFL. You actually said it twice. Kid. It’s exactly how you see him, and exactly how the rest of the entire NFL sees him as well.  Yes, he is a kid, he looks and acts like a kid and that exactly IS the problem. The NFL is for grown ass men. Period. Hell, our kicker looks like he collects ‘taxes’ as a side hustle. These are straight dudes. Men.  Nothing in his persona changed from last year to this.  Nothing in his physical stature. Nothing. He has shown 0 development. 0. And he disrespects the entire organization, talking video games and Netflix in the offseason. Bro. Really. My man Chuba is busting his ass to look good for his second contract. Set himself up for life. How many RBs make it to even sign contract #3? First 2 games he has to run in to a brick wall continuously because Netflix can’t even get it over the LOS.  He’s a kid who pulled off the biggest heist in world history. He looks happier on the sideline goofing around than he ever has looked on the field. It’s time to cut bait. 
    • I hear you and I can imagine it's frustrating as a fan, but UNC-CH leaving the ACC would be throwing away over a century of history. It would really suck if y'all, or Clemson, or any of the other remaining charter members leave. I still think it sucks that Maryland left as well. Feels so wrong not having that rivalry anymore. Maryland fuging hated us and I loved it. Who's Maryland's rival now in the big 10? Rutgers? lol. Also, I think that the Heels are more likely to be Kentucky 2.0 than you are to get serious about football upon joining the SEC. Both UNC (and also Duke's) administrations seem very stuck in their ways with sticking to their ways and remaining basketball powerhouses. I do wish we could see NC teams actually competing in my favorite sport sometimes but alas. I personally value keeping our history intact over trying to become top flight CFB programs because nowadays it's just a pay to win sport anyways. Even if UNC-CH got serious I doubt they could compete with that Texas oil money, or that Oregon nike money, or that USC rich kid money. That's all top level college football really is anymore. You're either an established blue blood or you're willing to waste tons of money that could be spent on education rather than football. 
    • Maybe a move to the SEC forces UNC to be more serious about football?   I mean we should be making noise in the weak ACC and we can't even do that. How is Duke better than UNC in football right now? It's honestly sad and pathetic.   It doesn't matter if we get another great QB as you said a QB doesn't mean you have a great roster. A QB can only do so much. We lack elite guys in the trenches. That's how you build a program. It starts up front.
