I've always loved dhb as a player pause* so I hope it's him!
But either way I'll be happy as long as they both keep improving and keep getting better! Better years from both would be great!

DHB with catches, yards, and touchdowns.

Moore with big play shenanigans when he's not hurt.

In terms of proportion/percentage of catches, I think this is pretty spot on, but I'd bet if Moore gets 65 catches, he'll have over 1,000 yards. If you take his receiving average last year and multiply it by 65, you get 1215 yards.

There's a lot to be excited about for this receiving corps. I don't think any other team in the league has two young guys starting for whom we could say the sky is the limit (it's funny though, Nicks and Cruz are so much more accomplished but have basically the exact same experience in terms of games played--that's a great duo)

DHB's been #1 since the day he was drafted; he's coming along slowly but surely. Moore is a great addition; didn't like seeing him sidelined on Wednesday, though.

The thing about DHB, he improved with each season, tripling his production over that span. It's a little bit more difficult to gauge, considering the changes every season, and the fact the unit as a whole sucked.

I also sense that he's taking it personally that he is one of ol' man Tootle's last "laughter" picks - if you will.

DHB had a "quiet" great season last year. Finished better than 32nd in most (if not all) receiving categories, an indication he probably would be a starter, if not the #1 on some other teams too.

A twit asked Fantasy Douche ‏(@FantasyDouche) what he thought of D. Moore:

I like Denarius Moore quite a bit. But he is not in the mold of a true #1 I don't think. Requires long field to use his speed.

But I do think D Moore's upside is like in the Greg Jennings territory. But the problem with that comparison is that GB throws... a lot.

Wow - seems like we went down this road already. That said, my mind has not changed. The WRs for the Raiders will surprise this year as very few around the league really give the Raiders WRs respect.

I believe DHB will once again improve dramatically on his performance from the preivious year. In 13 games last year he almost hit 1000 yards - if he played a full 16 games, statistically means he could have had 1200. I think this year he has a shot at closing in on 1500. Yep, I know that sounds ridiculous. But last year, DHB had to deal with a three QBs - one who could not throw the long ball accurately to save his life, another who was a complete bum and is no longer in the NFL and the last - right off the couch and did not know the playbook nor his receivers. Factor in that DHB STILL produced almost 1000 yards in 13 games with those weaknesses at QB - I think with a Palmer who is actually in shape and will know the playbook and has worked with DHB - Bey will have the breakout year that will surprise not only most of the NFL but most of the Raider Nation.

Moore will have a great year and will continue to make circus like catches on long balls. But DHB will have a lot more catches, will move the chains more and will garner a lot more yards over the season. Though, I would not be surprised if Moore approaches 1000 yards.

Yes, given this, I am expecting big things from Palmer. He will win comeback player of the year.

Who is the #1 WR this season...Darius Heyward-Bey or Denarius Moore?

It don't matter just win baby.

It don't matter just win baby.

That about says it all!

signal- thats a bold prediction, but i like it. When it comes to DHB. People like to ignore his H-W-S. but it is very real. 6'2", 4.30 40. 4.18 short shuttle. 38 vertical leap. DHB is very much a physical specimen. that combined with hard work. His desire to be good. you can not judge a mans heart. He will be unstoppable. 95% of DBs can not run with him. (DVD can stay with him because of his 4.28 40). Steve Corkran said he is bigger then you think in person. I have seen him in person his rookie year and he was big then. long arms etc.
