KDIGGZ Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 After laughing ... I realized that this, sadly, is probably true! Tyrod would have to throw every single pass to Zay for the next 4 seasons to get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Graham Barfield @GrahamBarfield Zay Jones' 21.9% catch rate is the worst in NFL history for any WR with at least 30 targets in a single-season since 1992 Worst in NFL history since 1992? So worst since 1992, not in NFL history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 This isn't a mistake here and there, he is dropping passes at an NFL record high rate in the last 25 years. The team is not in a full blown rebuild, they are 4-2. If they were 0-6, I would say, keep him out there and see what he can do. Because they are 4-2, Matthews/Thompson or even Matthews/Tate gives them a better immediate chance. This doesn't mean I say cut him or let him sit on the end of the bench. Give him chances when the other starters need a break or if is a 3, 4, 5 wr formation. As he gains confidence, give him more chances. In the end I kinda got what Gug was saying......lets work the vet wr's we have not that it looks like we have a couple of good ones and move Zay to the slot and let him catch the safe high percentage passes for a while and biuld some confidence. I still say that this team is going to end up going as far as Marcel and Zay take us this year because they are not yet played up to their potential.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Worst in NFL history since 1992? So worst since 1992, not in NFL history? Threw me off too. I think they mean it's the worst of anyone since they started tracking the stat. Maybe they only tracked catches and not targets prior to that? Pro Football Reference drops the target stat between 1992 and 1991, so that's what I'm going with. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/1991/receiving.htm Edited October 24, 2017 by BuffaloHokie13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 This is the absolute last thing I think they should do. He got targeted 9 times and caught 2 passes in a near loss. He should see the ball far less unless it's garbage time. And this is the mark of a true Bills fan! ... has a better ring to it than 'a near win', though. ) Which brings me to.... why is there no retreat facility for us Bills fans? Some kind of place where we can go to get our heads screwed on straight for a bit, at least during the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domdab99 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 --------------- Starting WR? Statistically? Probably not. But I have no doubt he'll turn it around. He has the talent and game tape to back it up. He just needs a 7 catch 80-100 yard game to break out of this funk. TT should have hit down the left side on Sunday - wide open deep.

JohnBonhamRocks Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Of all the 11s, he does look a little like Bledsoe trying to play WR... Honestly not worried about him. He's got the talent, mindset, and drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Taylor can't throw him a good pass Every other receiver on this team has caught the ball, including a guy that had more catches than practices with this team... yet Zay is the only one that cant get a good pass thrown to him. Sound logic there. The team is winning with him in the line-up... He has the talent... Let him get the experience... Well they also lost with him in the lineup so.... Doesnt matter.....we drafted him in the 2nd round and gave up a pick to move up....cant give up on him in year 1 This is complete kneejerk reaction by you TJ Graham says hello. But no I don't think they should give up on him. Throw to him in the red zone and let him get that first TD catch. He needs that so bad right now They tried that too. Holmes bailed him out.
