The guys that win the jobs

If Brady designs things well and Josh makes good reads, we should have different WRs with the most yardage game to game as we will take advantage of what a specific defense gives each week. Lot of ifs to be sure but that is the ideal.

I suggest you submit your list of good ones to Beane for his consideration. And I’d suggest to quit using 1, 2,3 etc for WRs as if we’re in a kindergarten counting lesson.

Ok let’s just do this. Sign 30 WRs and play like flag football. One guy snap it back to Josh, everyone take off, and Josh can throw it quick to who he wants before he gets buried. If we sign enough WRs everyone in Mafia land can get their favorite.

Why does it have to be all or none?

You think your version of an NFL offense is the only one. Imagine that.

Others like me think they’ll be fine on offense.

YOU and several others are debating this. Others want to see how the team plays before worrying.

I can see us drafting another WR next year, but we are not going to trade for another guy this year due to cap and such. While you can have what you describe, it is harder to do so and manage the cap. I would alter your statement to say you need a difference maker on offense in general. It can be a WR but also a TE or a RB. Or a couple in combination. The Pats when they had Gronk and of course the Chiefs with Kelce as examples. I’m hoping Kincaid is that guy.

Hysterical exaggerations only weaken your position

I fundamentally disagree. Brady’s offense looks to spread the ball around to open guys. I think Josh can thrive in that vs. having to worry about feeding a guy like Diggs. If Brady does his job well we have multiple targets plus a better run game.

I’d rather have several good guys vs. 1 great guy

My point is that this numbering stuff is artificial.

Nope. Sorry. A lot of people talked about double dipping but names are rare when push comes to shove.

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.
