Further, Hunter had Cordarrelle Patterson across from him. Volunteers in his senior season played NC State, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi State, Alabama, and South Carolina, among others. Better schedule? Sure, but they also stunk to the tune of 7 losses.
Yes, the SEC is better, but East Carolina still had NC State, South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Cincinnati, Navy, and Temple, among others, on its 2016 schedule - hardly AA.
Was Hunter the all-time FBS reception leader coming out of college reunited with his college WR coach and possibly only expected to be WR3 as a rookie?
I think my point is that Holmes doesn't need Decker's level of talent, but just needs to be that big-bodied WR who can haul in 4 TDs in the redzone, which he has shown he can do.
Point is that most of our WRs are above-average-to-big-bodied, especially considering how big Watkins and, if he decides to come here, Maclin play.
For those saying Decker because he's a big-bodied WR that we don't have: what about the 6'4" 210 Andre Holmes? Compares favorably to the 6'3" 214 Decker. Not saying the talent-level is the same, but why can't Taylor find Holmes with a similar consistency that he found the 6'4" 201 Justin Hunter? I'd take 4 TDs from Holmes.
Plus, it's not like the 6'2" 201 Zay Jones or the 6'1" 205 Sammy Watkins are all that small. Even the 6' 198 Maclin is at least average size.
Maclin. Just seems like a great fit. Could really help this offense take the next step.
When's the last time we had a solid WR1-3 anyways? With Moulds and Price/Evans, our WR3 was Josh Reed.
Really hope the Ravens don't ask if he would rather catch passes from the starter or backup that won it all in 2013.
Not even to stick it to them, but would hate for Maclin to make a play as a Raven around that AFC-wildcard-deciding time of the year that helps them to a big win. Would love for him to make that play for the Bills.
^He also had 157 rushing attempts in NFL Europe in 2006. Gave up on finding his carry numbers from 2004-2005 for indoor football. Maybe could have been a man among boys and not have sustained too much wear and tear, especially for the indoor league.
If he can prove he's as good as Jonathan Williams, then I'd consider it. Right now one of Eric Wood or Tyrod Taylor is probably the leader of the offense. Having Fred Jackson's leadership - again only if he is as good as Williams - could be invaluable. Similarly, while Kyle Williams is still pretty good and not too much younger, his leadership on this defense will continue to be invaluable. It is known that McDermott values accountability.
EDIT: But if we're going to sign an aging running back, then it should probably be DeAngelo Williams.
I think the distinction would be between "Buffalo" dishes, which typically just involve hot sauce and bleu cheese and can be found nationwide, and the actual food selection in Buffalo. There are many different restaurants, festivals, food trucks, etc., and they provide a great variety from what I have experienced.
