    Mack Hollins posted 57 catches for 690 yards in Las Vegas 2 years ago.

     

    He had 378 yards in Buffalo in 13 starts.

     

    Not to slight Mack at all, but we have evidence of what Gabe did with Josh and what Mack did with Josh and it’s not close.

    In a system where the ball is spread around more than ever it's not surprising. But is that all you're basing your stance on, is just yards? When you look at more than just his yards he made some really good catches and didn't have a lot of drops like Gabe did. 

     

    I think if Gabe came in this offensive system under Brady, we would likely see much of the same with drops and probably injured again imo

    Trevor Lawrence is not very good and I think JA17 can get more out of him. If we’re talking about $6M-$8M on a one year deal, why wouldn’t you? He’ll probably take less because Josh can restore his image..

     

    Personally, I don't think Josh can get anything more out of him than what he's gotten already. As for the 2nd sentence in bold, I wouldn't because we've been there and done that story. Moved on from the drops and should stay that way

    I think there’s a 50-50 shot he’s back in Buffalo.

     

    Well, Yeah like with every team except Jags , he has a 50-50 shot in he will either sign with a team or he will not sign with said teaam.

    Why? He’s an actual better version of Mack Hollins, good in the locker room, and certainly not good enough to demand a high target share.

     

    He ain’t perfect but no one on the Bills is either. 

     

    I'm not sure I'd agree with your statement in bold..... I'd argue Hollins had better hands, I'll give you blocking was pretty close, hell saw many plays from Hollins blocking that were top notch blocks by a WR. I might would even give that to Hollins too tbh....

     

    You have to acknowledge Hollins didn't really come on until he came to Buffalo with Josh Allen....One could easily argue that Gabe Davis's play took a  nose dive the last couple years with the Great Josh Allen. Maybe it was more of the initial injury Davis had but I don't see it myself, You can excuse the route running issues to an extent due to leg/ankle injuries...

     

    But you can't use it as an excuse for all the drops he was starting to be known for the last two seasons for sure....Oh last but not least, as far as your statement about good in the locker room, I'm not sure Hollins doesn't have that one in the bag too....??!!

     

    So all in all, I'd strongly disagree with your opening statement in the 2nd post in bold, I'm sure there's more ppl that would say Hollins is thye better version of Gabe Davis than the other way around at this point, imo

    Amari Cooper anyone?

    Beasley/Brown 2.0 was a joke.   They did nothing at all.  It solidified Beane's cluelessness at recognizing when FA WRs are walking around with a fork in their backs before he signs them.

     

    Yeah I don't really recall what other players that was available at that time, but I can't imagine it being anything much. So if that was the case then I can understand the reason he felt Brown/Beasley familiar in the offense was the better of all the bad options.

    This is more BS in my opinion.. what do they call catchable.. is suspect. when you have bad QB's throwing to you all the time and half of them are barely within reach... you stop trying after a while.. Pro or not. 

     

    Yeah for sure, honestly I question those who see stats with prior teams and that's it. It's simply one of the "common senses" that comes with watching football

    I would say it was both. The Chiefs have fallen behind by at least 10 points in every single Super Bowl they've played in, and in all but two their offense eventually found its groove and completed the comeback. But Philly's elite WRs allowed them to build a lead that was insurmountable so by the time KC started moving the ball it was too late. That 2nd half deep TD to Devonta Smith was the dagger that ended any chance of a comeback. Tampa Bay also had an elite WR corps when they beat KC.

     

    But the other factor Philly and Tampa had in their Super Bowls was not just one elite pass rusher but waves of pass rushers that they were able to relentlessly send after Mahomes. So in that sense I like the way Beane has attacked the DL this offseason. A lot will depend on how well the three rookies develop and/or DeWayne Carter improves, but right now it looks semi-realistic that we could be 9 or 10 players deep with legit DL talent. That's the formula that has proven successful to harass and ultimately beat Mahomes in the playoffs so on paper at least I like the strategy.

     

     I don't see where one could argue it wasn't, You're correct both were big factors. That being said, I think the way the Dline performed so well to set the tone for the entire defense as a whole was what made the most difference by a good margin imo.

    Cook is happy and excited bc he knows what it means for him. Any hope that we could meet halfway between what we want to pay and his asking price of 15m per just went flying out the window.

     

    Honestly, I think it's way more likely that he asks for more than 15 now than it is he comes down from it

     

    I don't think that changes anything as far as that's concerned really.

    There are fit issues with Amari imo. Despite his physical profile, we seemed to use him mostly on passing downs. Guys need to be able to excel both in run and pass game to really work in this offense, with Shakir being a notable exception. 
     

    If Amari is prepared to take a short-term role player deal then sure. I doubt he’s going to do that. Sometimes it’s best to just move on. 
     

     

     

    I don't know how much it had to do with his age now and being injuried had more to do with it
