Moore dominated at the collegiate level against lesser competition. Few of those guys are going to drop right in at the NFL level unless they are plus route runners. We've seen examples so far this season that show Moore is not yet one.
He isn't going to get separation and be a YAC monster at the NFL level without that... he's not playing in the MAC anymore. I don't have anything to back this up, but he seems to be a guy who will make plays with quickness and agility but isn't possessed with the kind of straight line speed that Hill had. (Not that anyone is, but I mean the sort of speed that allows him to run away from someone vs making moves)
I'm sure the team regarded Moore as a raw talent that will need to grow up, and still does.
