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.
What is DJ Moore doing well? According to Norv Turner: He gets out of breaks, goes hard through every route and has strong hands.
“He’s becoming a complete receiver.”

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.
