billsfreak Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I'm kinda surprised he didn't have get signed before now. Me too, but there are alot of different things this off season with no agreement between the owners and players this year. There was talk of T.O. signing there, but I guess they thought Josh Reed was a less expensive insurance policy in case Vincent Jackson doesn't show up.

renfruzetz Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Honestly, I don't get all the Josh bashing. 8 years, only missed 12 games. Much better rookie production than fellow second round WR's Parrish and Hardy. 39 catches/year primarily as a slot guy on mediocre teams. He's no Pro Bowler but he wasn't a bust either. It's hard to fathom his blocking skills are worse that our current #3 (Parrish) Time will tell but I believe we have plenty of upside with Hardy/Johnson/Jackson/Nelson. I would have been happier with Reed and (Jason Fox/Geno Atkins/Eric Norwood/ AJ Edds) instead of Easley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Good luck, Josh. We'll miss you on 3rd & 4. fixed Broken, more like. Reed did pretty well when the ball was thrown to him. Reed wasn't the checkdown reciever, the RBs and TEs were, they were the ones Trent threw to a yard behind the LOS on 3rd and eight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Excellent news, I was afraid the Bills might re-sign him if he remained free going into the pre-season. I believe now only Kelsay, Lindell, McGee, and Moorman remain from the disgraceful 2003 team of losers. Hunh? So next thing you're hoping to see Moorman and the others out of here too? Makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Highly overrated and this shows that. If he was as good of a blocker and possession receiver as everyone claims, he would have been snapped up ASAP. Average receiver at best, and won't do anything spectacular in SD... if he plays. Doesn't show he's overrated at all. Shows that for lots of reasons, he wasn't an urgent need. Slot recievers simply don't get snapped up early very often.

Thurman#1 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 come on tell me you aren't being serious. You don't think anything about his age and character concerns don't have anything to do with it Oh, well, if there are reasons, that's different. Wait, aren't there reasons for Reed, too? And for pretty much everybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpl6876 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I am here in San DIego and know the SD team pretty well. He will beat out a WR named Buster Davis who has done very little since joining the team. I don't really know how many throws he is going to get with them having Gates and (Jackson when they sign him to a learn term contract). No way they will let him go! IMO, Josh will be way more effective in the high powered SD offense. I believe his numbers will shatter the Bills numbers. I am happy for him because he was a class guy throughout his Bills career.

billsfan89 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 He is a great guy to have as your #4 WR a depth chart guy who is a capable slot receiver if called upon. The guy is an average slot receiver who run blocks really well. BUT that's all he is he wasn't a dynamic play maker or a guy who did his role phenomenally. For San Diego it makes sense to have him be a #4 WR his run blocking and capable slot play make him of value to an NFL team. As for Buffalo we needed the playing time to see what we had in the young guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsWatch Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 QUOTE (DrFishfinder @ Jun 11 2010, 04:13 PM) Good luck, Josh. We'll miss your 3 yds on 3rd & 4. fixed I wondered who was going to do this...... I guess some people are better at being stupid that others or they try harder. Good luck Josh you were a dependable even if not spectacular player. Very few WR were willing to block like you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammered a Lot Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'm kinda surprised he didn't have get signed before now. From my source, so was Josh. Patriots and Rams were the only ones showing interest. He was wondering if his agent lost his number. This past week the Pats called him and later the same day the Chargers called.
