Mosley and Livingstone are a wash. Not overly impressed with either.

Moore was not 100% and seldom-used until our offensive explosion in the SHSU game.

He averaged 3 catches for 44 yards on the year. He will be missed dearly.

People forget how horrid our offense was until Deandre Moore returned and started bailing Arch out on drives.

He catches nearly everything, plays very smooth, and keeps the chains moving. I don't give a shit what he's like off the football field. He was the glue guy when we needed it most this season.

 

Pretty sure Moore did have a concussion early in the season then missed the following game.  I'm too lazy to look up game threads but people were happy he was back when he made a tough catch to give Arch confidence despite the poor throw.  Hate that this forum craps on any player as soon as they leave and all of sudden the player is a diva and worthless. Just found an article about his return game.

I always wonder what makes kids try to go pro a year too soon?  Who is in their ear telling them a pretty decent season in college, is what NFL scouts have a difficult time finding?  Did Moore make some clutch catches this year?  Yep sure did.  But Enough to make real bank in the NFL? Probably not, unfortunately.  Then I think about two things. 1) Moore is already getting a decent check at Texas. 2) A season with a more seasoned QB a nd another year of development might get top NFL money, (If you can ball out like an NFL player in college)

With NIL I understand less and less jumping a year too soon.  And truly wonder which Uncle, mom, brother, sister, cousin, girlfriend, mistress, wife, MIL, SIL, BIL thinks they can get some of your NFL money, who is advising you on jumping to the NFL?

Moore didn't come here to play no skool

That’s great, but it a contemporaneously written article about how his return lifted up the offense against Sam Houston State. He was healthy for the rest of the year, did the offense (specifically the wrs) keep that momentum going for the rest of the year, buoyed by his presence back in the room? No, no they did not. Truth is we would have dog walked Sam with or without him. 

And to be clear, many in the fan base were crapping on him well before he left. He got plenty of crap for his late in the offseason renegotiation that was mainly based on his status as the only experienced returning WR and not on being any type of special talent. The season certainly showed that he’s not that.

Moore is definitely not day 1 pick but should go late on day 2 or early on day 3.

Moore if goes to NFL now is maybe late Day 3 or more likely UFA... He better wise up and find another college gig for 2026.  

Btw I also previously heard the same 2025 NIL crap Moore pulled as mentioned above by @someguy   

(Moore threatened to transfer near the end of the portal window last year and leveraged a pay bump)   

 

I'm glad Texas didn't elect to have Moore return for 2026 -- really hope we find a much more explosive WR to replace him.

Y'all turning on a very solid player for us simply because he's declaring for the draft is not a good look. We should want the best for him.

 Solid is a good descriptor. Nobody should be losing sleep over this loss or building a shrine to his midness.

No one is turning on him. The opinions on Moore have been pretty consistent around here all season - by and large a disappointment considering how much he's earning. 

I'm still convinced you're mistaking him for Mosley.

Why would I confuse a very reliable veteran player in Moore for a for a mid-level newcomer in Mosley?

If Arch was better to start the year and Moore was healthy his numbers would be fantastic.
