    Do the Bills Under Appreciate Gabe Davis?

    Um, do the math.  There are 32 teams, remember?   So, that's 32 receivers who should be #1s and should be better than Davis.  34th in yards per game, that's high #2 receiver yardage.   81st in receptions?  That means there were a lot of receivers who were catching nickel and dime throws, because they weren't getting anything like the yards Davis got.  Catch % is one of those stats that people get hung up on that are not a measure of football production.  Of course, it's relevant to coaches, because it tells them where someone can improve.  But it isn't a true measure of performance that is of any real significance if the guy is getting 850 yards.   Yards and touchdowns are what matter, and in Davis's first season as a full time starter, boom!, yards and touchdowns.   

     

    Davis is not a problem.  

    I did the math. That’s why I made the post.

     

    81st in receptions per game. Not receptions. That’s WR 3 worthy.

     

    34th in yards… yeah, cause he got 1/5 of those in one game. Otherwise he’s around 48 yards per game. And yeah, that’s how stats work sometimes but he was realllllly a non factor in most games.

     

    He had 2 games with more than 5 receptions. 2.

     

    He had 8 games with under 40 yards.

     

    Unless he improves, he’s not WR 2 worthy and Buffalo should look to upgrade.

     

    I like Davis, but we’re not jumping chasms here. He’s just kinda meh.

    I disagree with not being genuine. He’s enamored with Bills fans and Buffalo.

    Yeah it makes good TV and gets people like you to buy in.

    Give Brandt a break.  Don’t you guys remember non one, and I mean no one but boomer as a bills fan in the nfl national media.  At least we have Brandt, Schein, and as always boomer ( no one circles the wagons) and even a couple others as rooting for us.  It provides a little more balance than the constant hate for the bills.

    Only Boomer is the actual Bills fan.

    This is a great example of how people misunderstand the reality of pro football.  Other than QBs and maybe a dozen or two dozen other skill players, pro football players do not make meaningful co tri unions in every game, or even half the games.  They do their jobs, and sometimes that results in nice days and sometimes not.   Most running backs aren't over 80 yards every game.  Most receivers don't catch 6 balls every game.   

     

    The season stats are exactly the way to measure contribution, because every guy, other than the stars, make plays sporadically. It's their totals that matter, and Davis's totals are healthy.  Not great, but healthy.  

    He was 81st in receptions per game

    He was 34th in yards per game

    He was 186th in catch % right between MVS and Tutu Atwell

     

    If he was a 3 then yeah, they’re healthy. But for a number 2, which this team desperately needs, they are not good enough. Which is why the Bills should be looking for a proper 2 unless they feel Davis can improve quite a bit.

    And would look pretty cool too. 

    It would look terrible.

     

    28 is great. 33 for his brother was great as well and he went ahead and ruined that. Same with his teammate Alexander Mattison.

     

    Single digits outside of QB’s and kickers is so gross I don’t even know where to begin.
