Chuck Wagon Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Twitter question from NFL- Who has the best "receiving unit" in the NFL. I threw out the Bills and got laughed at while the consensus seems to be leaning Green Bay and Denver. Maybe it's the homer in me, but I really believe 1-4 we have the deepest group in the league. Sammy hasn't posted the big seasons some guys have, but guys like Belichick have said they treat him the same as they treat other guys. Clay blows away the TE for either Denver or Green Bay. Depending on how you slot Harvin & Woods as 2 & 3 I struggle to come up with 3rd WRs clearly better than ours. Am I a biased homer or are we getting slept on hard?

Until the Bills win 11-13 games in a season and make a serious run (I think this is very possible this season) the public will still just consider us a bad team. I wouldn't trade our WR corps for any other team's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 WR is crazy deep, but if your counting TE's #1- GB #2- DAL #3- ATL #4- DEN #5- INDY #6- DET #7- NE #8- PIT #9- CIN #10- BUF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricojes Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 A good WR corp turns to great with a great QB under center. It's very difficult to rank the Bills WR's after the QB play last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafter Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 GB man. Jordy/Cobb > Watkins/Woods. Probably but I could easily see that opinion reversed if the qbs do. The thrower just matters too much to objectively consider this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 GB man. Jordy/Cobb > Watkins/Woods. Not sure that is a definite. I'd like to see how each WR group does with the other's QB situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 What we have on the roster is different then most teams. We have the kind of potential most teams would dream of having. Young players like Woods and Watkins, speedy dynamic Harvin, on the bubble to emerge to a true NFL WR Hogan and possibly one day we will see him as a top 100 player, Clay who is truly going to be viewed as a potential superstar and as hyped as anyone, and then our RB's and other guys. We have a lot of people that do not get the headlines but we know their name. These guys are very good but we are little high on them because we are fanatics. also 21,000 .

Chilly Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Given that this is a male only league I would expect San Francisco to have the best receiving unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 This years final cut down will be very difficult. I sure hope the owners vote to increase the 53 roster limit. Who Goes? Locks: Sammy, Woods, Harvin Probably: Hogan, Goodwin?, Easley? Thigpen? Long Shots: All the others . . . But note: If another WR emerges, look for Easley to be let go; Why? Notice all the special teams ability the Bills have picked up this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how you slot Harvin & Woods as 2 & 3 I struggle to come up with 3rd WRs clearly better than ours. Am I a biased homer or are we getting slept on hard? I agree you are a biased homer. We are not in the top 25. If during the season we find that the line has been significantly upgraded (hard to say at this point), QB play will be better (again hard to say yes to this), Sammy doesn't quit on the QB the way he quit on EJ (and that was probably justified), play calling is improved (the emphasis on the run means less touches in the passing game). At best we will have a top 20 passing game. Sammy is a good receiver, not great yet. Woods is okay, a number 3 or 4 on many teams, Percy had a down year in 2014, with Cassel, Ty or EJ tossing likelihood for better year is slim, who's our 4th Hogan or Goodwin, neither are much more than role players. Clay is better than Chandler but doesn't make that big a difference with our QBs. I'd say we are about 25th and that is being kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
