I certainly hope he does as Moore playing great for us in 2018 would be a needed boost to our receiving corps. My only point is that carrying him around because he might be good in 2019 doesn't make any sense as he isn't under contract to us then, and you correctly note that other teams can sign our promising players if they aren't under contract.Sun Tzu":2rvjrivy said:I think, and the coaches seem to agree... [Moore]... has serious potential.
Of course I agree with you on future performance, but I don't think anybody is suggesting Brandon Marshall should be awarded a spot based on his past accomplishments. If the Hawks think he could provide good competition in training camp then that's what matters, and if through that competition he wins a spot then we're better off for including him. If he loses the spot but plays well and lights a fire under Darboh then we're also better off for including him.
Overall, I love the optimism around our young receivers and I'm not trying to bash them too hard, but I just can't fully go along with it. Every NFL team has a surplus of young raw receivers this time of year that the fan base gets excited about and most end up out of the league or on a practice squad. It could very well be that a key 2019 receiver for us is a guy like Steven Dunbar who ends up on the 49ers practice squad until we sign him in September and replace a guy that we spent the entire training camp developing.
