I liked the pick a lot. At this point though I would give Zay up for Ju-Ju without blinking. He would have certainly been a better choice.

That's the coach's job. Never once said he was bad. Hes just not a number 1 receiver and I think a lot of us including the Bills over valued him before the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers draft WRs as well as the Bills draft RBs. They have quite a track record. That’s what my issue was with dumping Sammy. They underrated the value of him on the field. That’s the past though. When I think of that play specifically I think “who on the Bills could do that?” You need that answer to be about 3-4 different guys. In the Bills case it is Shady. That is why the WR group is not good. Outside of Benjamin’s contested catches they don’t do anything to help the team. They don’t have good route runners, they are terribly slow, don’t catch very well and teams can load the box. It is a massive area of need. The odd thing is that Carolina has always undervalued the position. They favored guys like Funchess and Benjamin over more explosive guys. That is not the philosophy that I believe in. I think that you need to make explosive plays. Benjamin is a fine NFL player but he needs a playmaker on the other side of at least his quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 1 hour ago, Captain Murica said: Doubt he'll even consider coming back here and I don't think the FO/Coaches really want him back due to the price he is probably commanding. Plus, I'm pretty sure we have enough possession wide receivers on the roster already. They rather have the cheaper option in Zay to play the slot. Why? Are they planning on picking a QB who cannot throw over the middle? I really hope Jay's issue was the coach for if he had a bad shoulder which was not reported in injury reports I think maybe he just cannot handle NFL speed. He had plenty of chances to catch ball even with QBs from last year. 1 hour ago, Clyde Smith said: You all forgot we had a Qb that refused to throw to the open receivers, IJS. That is right, no WRs actually caught balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manther Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 4 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: He stinks and the market is proving that true. The Eagles had him as 4 on their depth chart and threw him in on the trade. He can’t separate at all. Remember when people here thought he was an “upgrade to Sammy?” One guy got 3 years $48M with $30M guaranteed and the other guy is sitting out there probably staring at a vet minimum deal. I guess NFL GMs are smarter than TBD. Good points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the Bills should consider upping their offer for him, he has had 1 free agency visit to the Cardinals and nothing else activity wise. I think that considering the fact that even before the incident Zay was a questionable player to count on an upgrade at WR is a huge need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real McClappy Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Mathews is now feeling the Tyrod affect in FA. Only playing in 10 games last year does not help either due to injuries. Even in the games played he had less than 3 receptions on average. Same applies to Benj who only had 16 catches over 6 games. Luckily he has another year to prove himself before FA with a different QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys all signed at the beginning of FA (except Watkins who was traded) and were paid above their projected market value. Matthews isn’t signed because he’s not a good player. He has no skills that differeniate him. He’d be smart to go to GB on a cheap “prove-it” deal and hope Aaron Rodgers can make him look better than he is. As of right now though the league is speaking pretty loudly on their thoughts regarding him.

Landry will be going from 100 catches a year to watching Tyrod bounce around like Micheal Jackson for 8 sec, only to dump it to a for 2 yds on 3rd and 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And immediately after woods, goodwin, and Hogan left Buffalo they put up way better numbers. I'm not saying Matthews is a top-tier wide receiver but he had decent production with Philadelphia before coming to Buffalo.
