I think we need to quit getting so worked up about the numbering of WRs and look at performance.

That’s funny. He ran away from the Jets DBs. But our WRs have no speed. Maybe it was an optical illusion.

Of course you can argue it. You’d be wrong but that hasn’t stopped folks before.

Double dipping for who? Give me a name. It’s easy to just throw that out there. And OJ is a 3rd or 4th option at this point and isn’t that fast anymore. kind f like Diggs will be at best the Texans 2nd option, more likely their third.

For God sakes people. It is pretty clear that the top 3 WR on the field will be Coleman, Samuel, and Shakir. And you’ll also have Kincaid. So what you’re all carping about is a 4th guy with speed. Because supposedly we don’t have a guy that can “take the top” off the defense. With this signing you now have 3 guys that potentially can do this: MVS, Claypool, Hamler. Even though statistically the league threw about 1% of total passes last year where the ball went 40 yards or over last year. But that’s still bad in some eyes here. That begs the question: what the hell do you want?

Bills fans: We HAVE to get a guy with speed that can go deep!!! Beane: Here’s 3, Claypool, Hamler, and Valdes-Scantling. Biils fans: Not THOSE guys!!!

To all obsessing about having to have a “true” #1 WR, and whom to trade for: I f a “true” #1 is so necessary and valuable, why would a team who has one trade him?

I’m not even sure what WR stands for. I grew up with split ends and flankers.

Definite hysteria elsewhere, not here. I tried to word it that way. I guess I just don’t swear kickers that much. If Bass doesn’t do better they’ll make a change. And I think as Josh gets older he will get wiser, not run as much, take check downs when they’re there, and have a good 10 more years of stellar play.

We clearly just don’t mesh in opinion. I have a stats background but I don’t spend a ton of time trying to get into the weeds of things because the Bills are entertainment to me. So I’ll just refrain from comment now. If you don’t see that a blanket statement suggesting the team has no plan on offense is silly then there’s no sense attempting to converse. Go Bills!

I skim your posts because they seem to provide confirmation bias.

I just looked quickly and the Bills were 4th in YPG last year. Is it possible you’re overreacting?

Challenging your assumptions is not stalking. To presume there is no offensive plan is silly.

No they are not lacking that at WR. Or TE. You say that simply to confirm your negativity. Let’s see how they play.

Thankfully one can hope Brady is more imaginative than the fan base.

This is silly. No clear plan in view? You have no idea what Brady wants him to do yet. There’s some context for you.

The kid is psyched to play with Josh, and has his own skill set. He doesn’t have to be Diggs or Davis. How about just being Coleman and see how that works?

Only if by doing so it would have stopped the OP from going on and on and on about the WR position.

Is it factually accurate? If one looks at the age of SB winning QBs a few were younger than Josh is now, a few around the same age, and some in their 30’s such as Elway, Staubach, Brady, and so on. I would argue the hysteria in some minds about Josh’s window is overblown. As for Bass, the impact of a holder is hard to measure. He has Haack now so we’ll see if that helps. If not and he continues to struggle they’ll move on. But assuming they’ll find someone who can kick better in the Ralph with how the wind swirls around in there is a risky assumption.

Who can also catch. Who can also pass protect. And so on.

Davis seems like a solid addition. Get 4 years out of him then draft the next guy. Such is the worth of the RB in the NFL

Mitch wasn’t the holder

Good discussion with you and Shaw. I wanted to comment on the value of expertise. One of the truly dangerous things going on in the country today is the lack of respect for expertise. We saw this most vividly during Covid on social media. I am a scientist with reasonable knowledge of virology and had hairdressers among others tell me on social media they knew more about Covid than me or other trained professionals. Front offices in the NFL have way more data than folks on TBD, thus a better chance of picking correctly. More data always is better than less. There are a few folks on TBD who really dig into as much film and that as they can, and I fund their assessments more worth a read. But the vast majority base in on maybe one YouTube video, if that.

Thanks for the detailed reply. My position is pretty simple: let’s see what happens.

There’s only one cut this year I think. If he acts up, cut him. No big deal.
