Panthers fans who are feeling down about their team and are looking for things to be thankful about today should reflect on D.J. Moore.
About a month ago, Moore was having a mediocre second NFL season. Despite consistently moving the chains, he wasn’t making the kind of impact one usually expects from a top-notch prospect. Some people were openly wondering if Moore was really worth a first-round pick to begin with.
Over the last four games, Moore has utterly destroyed that idea with a string of fantastic performances.
Offensive coordinator Norv Turner told reporters today that he’s becoming a complete receiver, per Alaina Getzenberg at the Charlotte Observer.
On film, Moore’s improved route running is what jumps out most. The separation he’s getting is far better than it had been in his first season and a half in the NFL.
Here’s a look at what Moore has done over the last month.
| Opponent | Catches/Targets | Yards | Yards/catch | Touchdowns |
| Titans | 7/10 | 101 | 14.43 | 0 |
| Packers | 9/11 | 120 | 13.33 | 0 |
| Falcons | 8/15 | 95 | 11.88 | 0 |
| Saints | 6/9 | 126 | 21.00 | 2 |
Solid stuff. Moore is now up to No. 5 in the league in receiving yards.
