Saw an earlier post before Fields was injured. DJ Moore was on pace for 1800+ YDs and 17 TDs. Was a dream BUT he could still potentially break some Bears records this year.
Heβs now on pace for close to 1300 yards and 9 TDs (I rounded up). Averages deflated due to Bagent. 1500 yards and 12 TDs is not impossible with Justin Fields.
The only WRs to break 1500 yards for the Bears are 2012 Brandon Marshall(11 TDs), 2013 Alshon Jeffrey(7 TDs) and 1999 Marcus Robinson(9 TDs).
1970 Dick Gordon and 1947 Ken Kavanaugh hold the single season Bears TD record at 13.
DJ Fucking Moore.

Might already be the best WR the Bears have ever had lol.
Every time I see comments like these the more and more Iβm convinced that 90 percent of the people here started watching 2 years ago. DJ isnβt anywhere near what B-Marsh was for us
Marshall was a legit Top 3 WR and he was only top 3 because he played at the same time as peak Calvin and Andre Johnson
There were a lot of great #1 WRs in the league around that time. The two you mentioned, plus Fitz, Julio, AJ Green, Demaryius Thomas, Jordy Nelson, Antonio Brown, Josh Gordon. I'm sure there are others, but those are just a few of the WR1 names that come to mind.
In his era, Marshall is firmly Top 10 and probably Top 5, but it's hard to say he was the best of his generation when his generation included so many incredible players.
