    Building him up. McDermott knows what he’s doing. I’m sure Claypool is working his butt off but McDermott is trying to get the best out of him by boosting up his confidence.

    Yep. Throughout his tenure McDermott has been very selective of who he praises and when. We see it with rookies especially every year. Heading that, to me it indicates that McDermott feels Claypool needs to hear it in some regard. Hopefully it works out.

    Historical Fiction: How would drought coaches have fared with Josh Allen?

    You cannot be serious with this take. 

    Marrone's choice of OC would have sunk that marriage. A rookie OC to pair with a rookie QB would have seriously hampered Allen's development and probably destroyed his career. 

    Who knows, unless you can point to a history of rookie OCs and rookie QBs together to show a trend. Who knows if they even stick with Hackett in this alternate reality.

    Well let's see we have ...

    Coleman

    Shakir

    Samuel 

    MVS

    Hollins

    Claypool

    Kincaid

    Knox

    Cook.

     

    If all of them got 500 yards that's 4500 yards. 

     

    I would expect the average of that group to be higher.  Fans still try so hard to predict what can't be predicted.   We will not have a " #1" wr in this offense. Many of us said what Beane just did, from week to week #1 may change, and I expect it to.

     

    Believe it or not that is a really good thing, and fans need to grips with this concept fast because beane confirmed this is the approach this year.

     

    Lastly, where were the majority of Allen's it's last year % wise?  Davis and Diggs.  That happens when you force the ball vs throwing it to whomever is open and not worrying about egos.

    Kincaid is the closest thing to a number 1 with the way he gets used. They work him around inside and out and he's a potential mismatch anywhere. He should get a ton of targets.

    What if AD and Troy Franklin totally suck? Then our WR corps still sucks AND our defense sucks. You just wasted picks.

     

    At the end of the day, just trust your draft board and all the work you put into it.

    THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Receivers are a Dime a Dozen

    Maybe Kincaid will turn into an ALL PRO TE.  That isn't without the realm, I think there was enough that we saw out of him this past year to at least be optimistic of how high his ceiling could reach.

    Definitely. I'm super optimistic. He had an awesome rookie year and should be the Bills' number 1 receiver.

    You know what the Chiefs and Patriots, arguably the two most dominant football dynasties of the 2000's have had in common?   They won most of their championships without top tier WR's.   

     

    The Patriots best wideouts in their Superbowl dynasty wins was probably Julian Edelman.  What followed him was very meh, but they did have a great tight end in Gronk.

     

    The Chiefs, aside from the one year they had Tyreek, the past two Super bowls was JuJu Smith and a rookie Rasheed Rice.   They also have had a not too shabby TE in Kelce.

     

    This clearly proves that it's not necessary to have dominant receivers to win.  You just need smart, heady guys who can make catches and to have a bigtime elite QB who can make the right decisions when it counts most.   

    Clearly you need to have the best TEs in history.

    I think the shift that is happening is not that you don’t want stud skill players, but you need to have as many on rookie deals as possible, and then keep recycling that talent through the draft every year.  The value in re-signing a bunch of these guys after the rookie deal is being outweighed by drafting new talent on rookie deals.  Teams like Miami are going to really feel the pressure soon, when they decide to pay Tua, need to really pay Jaylen Waddle soon, etc., except that a QB like Tua will probably never live up to what the Dolphins will decide to pay him.

    That sounds great in theory, but will never happen in reality. There is plenty of money to go around and there are only 11 spots on offense, so a team with a franchise QB combined with a stud WR/TE/RB is gonna pay that skill player the big bucks.

     

    They can replace every other role player through the draft if they want to, but the big money contract for skill players (the majority being WRs simply based on numbers) is not going away.

    WRs in the traditional sense...yes. They are probably becoming a "dime a dozen."

     

    However..."receivers" are still super valuable and will be paid big big money. A receiver can be a WR, TE, or RB. 

     

    This is a QB/offense-driven league and there will always be mega-star receivers (no matter what position they play.)

     

    Looking to the Bill's future, I could definitely see Kincaid and Cook getting the big money contracts alongside Josh because they are great receivers (even though they play TE and RB). Like you mention McCaffrey, he has paved they way for the modern RB.
