When DJ Moore came into the NFL he had Cam Newton as starting quarterback and hauled in 55 passes for 788 yards in a season when running back Christian McCaffrey caught 107 passes for Carolina.
One year later with Kyle Allen starting 12 games and Will Grier and Cam Newton splitting the other four, Moore caught 87 passes for 1,175 yards. He made adjusting from throws by a running quarterback to a rookie who was more of pocket passer look easy.
In 2019, QB Philip Rivers played his 16th and final season for the L.A. Chargers and Keenan Allen caught 104 passes. A year later, with rookie Justin Herbert at QB and offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt getting fired at midseason, Allen caught 100 passes.
Obviously the Bears veteran receivers are the type who have seen it all and done it all. They’re not going to be bothered by the new quarterback, new offense, new anything.
And the new Bears wide receiver has them to learn from, if his own quarterback is lacking the experience to help with adjustments.
