MAGA cult slayer hahahaha

Not saying he would be a target monster, saying he would see an increase in targets on a team who spreads the ball less and runs less than we do. He got 100 targets here with the injury and his pace was 110 targets had he played all 17. Even just 1 more target per game puts him at 127 targets eslewhere in an offense spreading the ball less between targets and running. I think its more than reasonable he could and would see an increase of 1 more target per game in another offense. His pace was 110 targets here - with 1 more per game elsewhere that takes him to 127 targets, which based on his 8.21 yards per target last year, that puts him at 1050 yards on its own. Now factor in how often we ran short routes/screens for hm just to use his RAC ability...if just a handful of those targets move to be 5-10 yards down field he could easily be looking at 1100 - 1200 range on those 127 targets. So people are underestimating what he would be on another team with literally just 1 more target per game in a less spread the ball offense.

Our own Big Mike Williams doesn't count as he retired on draft day

yup. He's an escape artist and perhaps the world's most successful conman. Waiting to see what the blockbuster newspaper story is. It can't be good.

This means the Steelers will draft at # 8 instead of #9 Big Progress here....

It’s a tradition up there with a game on Thanksgiving Day, Jerruh playing things poorly on the contract front.

They say it's the best run state in the Union...

Bengals folks had been hearing there’s been somewhat positive momentum on a Hendrickson deal. Have to wonder if this changes anything.

Well I can tell you first hand from contacts of mine he is more highly regarded and coveted in NFL circles than you probably think. All good, its a made up premise here, anyway, no right or wrong answers just all discussion. But to further the point - you just said WR is a stacked position, and you are right, its very deep with a bunch of guys who really don't separate from themselves in that 20-40 range where it gets highly subjective based on teams preferences, age, type of player, etc. Shakir in that range sticks out as one of the best at his position, a slot WR who could put up 1000+ yards in their system with less target competition. So is a team going to take a WR inside the first 30 that isn't much different than the guys in the 30's or 40's or instead take one of the best slots who brings intangibles others dont then grab one of those other guys later? Some of you are completely ignoring the strategy of drafting, weighing values now vs later, etc. You are making it all based on fantasy stats essentially quoting his totals, and that isn't how its going to work in a draft. There are several TE's that would go long before a lot of these WR's too on peoples lists for example.

the context missing is there is no place better for a wideout who would otherwise struggle to create for himself than an offense designed to manufacture you touches w a top QB who can extend plays downfield

He's done all right on that front in the past, some call him President.

I don’t know if he would somehow become this target monster elsewhere. He’s a pure slot who lives within 10 yards of the LOS. 100 targets is a lot for a guy like that. You could argue he’s getting more looks on average here.

They looooove waiting until just before Opening Day. Jerry just burning through his money being so stubborn.

100%. Someone mentioned me the other day that when Mahomes played well in the playoffs, the Chiefs won. They would lose when Mahomes had a bad game. So Chiefs defense is solid against quality opponent but not overpowering. Allen has played well, occasionally superb in the playoffs and the Bills still lost to top competition. That is the difference. We need a D that is capable to cause Mahomes to have a bad playoff game.

Yeah, nah. Top 30 is a bit of a stretch and bordering on homerism. Looking back at Roscoe's list, even if there are a couple I think Shakir is better than (McConkey, for example) there are others that would push him down. WR is a very stacked position across the NFL. He isnt going to be any GM's first choice, which is what would need to happen for him to crack the top 32 alone. For my (non) analysis, I wasnt necessarily saying "he was 40th in yards therefore he's #40", but was getting an idea of just how many other WRs there are and how many that are producing. I'm thinking that almost every #1 WR would go before him, and at least a handful of #2s, and maybe a couple of his fellow slots as well. So 35, 38, 40... seems to be a reasonable range.

Targets are targets - roles are roles. He got 100 targets in 15.5 games last year. He plays all 17 he flirts with or breaks 1000 yard mark here on a team that had many games with 9 or 10 different guys catching passes. IMHO there is no doubt what so ever his production is capped in Buffalo (as is anyone catching passes on this team) if we keep running the same offense as we did in 2024. And teams and GM's know that and know there is more to evaluating a player than just "totals" without context.

Venous insufficiency is a chronic condition. Scleotherapy is an option but most often treatment is begun with compression hose. Tight stockings to the knee or higher. Varicose veins are usually present. Maybe that’s why you never see him in shorts. There are many alternative causes. Congestive heart failure being the most serious. Covid can cause myocarditis which can cause CHF. Just saying…

Hot girls for Scelro. Nice

Correct This is likely near the statistical ceiling of Shakir much as it was for Diggs

Reminiscent of Bruce Smith sighing with the Redskins

The counter to the “situation” argument is that Shakir was the #1 WR by a mile on an offense QBed by the MVP and future Hall of Famer. He got 100 targets by a superstar elite QB. Thats probably a better situation than Darnell Mooney’s 100 targets by Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix, right?

Yeah from Wed at the ACC Tourney in Tahoe. I congratulated him on his recent wedding and he reached out for the fist bump. Sam Darnold did too right after this as he was right behind him when I told Sam congrats on the season and big new contract. Hahaha never grow up!

Intangibles are nice but talent wins in the NFL doubt any GM is taking him anywhere near where you think, just too many better players available
