They traded for a WR midseason. You may have heard lol

We need to shut down TBD WR threads until we figure out what is going on

That’s why you trade for Amari lol

They never have. I don’t even know if they watch highlights lol

Yeah Brady and BB never won an ugly one by taking points lol.

are you joking? Josh breaking two free rushers tackles to throw a dart on the run for Coleman to drop it is clearly just an example of his elite supporting cast and playcaller.

They have 0 points. Hard to blame a defense for more lol

Win and rest and who cares

I don’t even know who you are.

I too also voted for Ladd to have the best rookie season production-wise. He was stepping into a team without any receivers at all with a known good QB and good coach. It wasn’t much of a stretch. But the difference between production like his as a rookie and Chase’s as a rookie is still really stark. Because one of them is a boundary guy and one of them is a slot guy. Also, not extending Shakir is a no-brainer. Paying him $20M+ AAV when CB1’s making less like Humphrey can erase him is a total mistake.

Ahh so clueless! The Chargers have the 22nd best pass offense, 12th in total points and 22nd in yards. With the Elite Slot Ladd! And the Bills are the 9th best pass offense, 2nd in total points and 8th in yards. And they don’t have elite slot Ladd? How could it be? Diggs/Allen were moved the slot because they were declining physical players. Because it’s an easier position to play. Rookies see more time in the slot. Because it’s an easier position to play. They get paid less. Because it’s an easier position to play.

Our OC can’t figure out how to get Samuel/Cooper and Shakir involved. Now you think he’s gonna figure out how to get Ladd 70 balls too when he’s already got another a lot guy on the roster? Ladd would not be having this kind of year on the 2024 Bills. I think that’s pretty obvious at this point

Where are you getting extra 3 to 4 years? Are you under the assumption that we are paying a slot WR big bucks right now? Or that we need to? FWIW, Ladd will be more expensive than Shakir in cap dollars this year and next. Sure if the Chargers called and said they would trade Ladd for Shakir straight up, I think that’s probably a no-brainer. If they said they would trade us Ladd for 2 seconds, I would not bother. as good as he is been, I think we are seeing around his ceiling as far as production goes. The Chargers will of course target more receiving help and if they are successful, they will eat into Ladd’s numbers. Slot guys are nice. Great running backs are nice. Great linebackers are nice. But that’s all they are.

His skillset is the same as Shakir’s. That alone limits his value to this Bills team.

It’s why Burrow has had a far higher cap hit than Josh the last two years despite signing his contract later. Poor owner

I agree with this lol.

Well that’s quite specific. Why don’t we compare Amari to WR’s drafted top 5 or 10 in the last 25 years? Or even last 12? Where would he rank then? Here’s the top 10 WR’s from 2022 to 2010: London Wilson Chase Waddle Smith Corey Davis M Williams John Ross Amari Kevin White Watkins Evans Tavon Austin Justin Blackmon AJ Green Julio Jones Where is Amari on that list? Julio, AJ, Evans, Chase all clear him inarguably. He’s obviously better than the busts on that list. He’s in that Smith Wilson, Waddle tier to me. Anywhere from 5th to 7th in the last 12 years of top 10 WR’s. But definitely not in the top 4.

He was SUPPOSED to be elite. He was the #1WR in that class by a mile. It’s been confusing honestly why he hasn’t been better.

So just to be clear, you ARE arguing that are lying, for no reason, about it being broken now?

So your argument is that he had a hand injury, they called it an unspecified hand injury for 14 weeks, and they are now lying that it was broken?

The class of guys that he was supposed to be in when he was drafted #4 overall? You are right that the predraft expectation of Cooper is a little irrelevant at this point because it was 10 years ago. But the reason he is on his 4th team and been traded 3 times is because while he’s a good WR with the ability to put up monster individual performances, he’s never shown the ability to be as consistent of a producer as he should have been.

Cooper is the best boundary WR on the roster, by a mile. Feel free to dispute that lol.

We know, because he was wearing a bionic hand cover after Week 1. I said, at the time, his hand was broken and now, 15 weeks later, he admitted it was broken. They hid it and didn’t come out and say it was broken, because on a 4th and 1 QB sneak, they didn’t want to give the opposing teams any more reason to grab his hand and twist it. Like all teams do.

He broke it week 1. Safe to say it’s no longer broken.

Do you feel like Cooper disappears more than the other big name WR’s though? I always kinda felt that way in Oakland or Dallas. I say that all to say he’s still clearly WR1 on this roster by a mile, but he’s probably WR3 in Cincy.
