Rob's House Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 1 hour ago, CountDorkula said: UM what? Entire bills Roster - 5,700 Yards receiving Dez Bryant 5,500 yards receiving. Dez Bryant is absolutely pulls guys out of the box. He is a proven NFL WR, and a good one at that. But you know he doesn't run a 4 second 40, and he wants money, therefor he is not good. In fact the Bills would probably be better paying Rod Streeter and Andre Holmes nothing and getting zero production out of them. His average stat line over the last 3 years is: 13 games, 678 yds, 6 TDs Maybe he's poised for a bounce back season, but it's been a minute since he's been a difference maker, regardless of his 40 time.

Clyde Smith Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I remember word out at the time that Sammy was a speedster that can take the top of defenses. Well, Zay combine numbers was practically identical to Sammy. If Zay shows up this season then we have a speed receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Best fits are probably the Titans or Colts. They have the cap, the quarterback, the need, and coaches who spent a lot of time in the NFC East. The Niners make sense as do the Texans. Maybe he could be convinced if we drafted Rudolph and Washington in the first round...Then we could run Mike Gundy's offense.

CountDorkula Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 1 hour ago, Kirby Jackson said: I specifically said, “he’s better than what we have” so don’t twist my words. I don’t think that the Bills record improves, even by a game with Dez. He’s a possession receiver at this point on a team that only has possession receivers. 2018 Dez isn’t 2012 Dez. If the Bills signed him I would expect about 65 catches for 650 yards and 6 TDs. That doesn’t move the needle. I’d rather add a young guy that can potentially add the big plays that the Bills desperately need. With this OL you aren’t going to be pounding out 16 play drives. You are going to have to make some chunk plays. Wouldn't this be the opposite? Get the ball out quickly to bigger possession guys and let them make plays so your QB does not have to wait for the downfield plays to develop.

HailMary Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 No chance and we should be happy about that. Big name but the big numbers are behind him especially if there's not a top 10 QB tossing him the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineforty Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) I've read in the past 12 months analysts suggesting since his last injury he is not the same player. One article compared him to Boldin after an injury and boldin reinvented himself late in his career to elongate his career. Assuming you accept all this, who knows if Dez can evolve. If you accept this analysis, I don't want to be the team to pay to find out. Also, is it possible bills don't want him or think they have no chance so they float our interest for other reasons?

Sure, but he is still a highly productive wideout in the NFL. Dez Bryant at 70% is better than many many many rookies coming out this year at 100%, don't get it twisted. Benjamin and Bryant would be awesome for Josh Rosen if we can move up to get him. Would you really want a prima donna receiver yelling at Rosen to throw him the ball every play though? I don't.

If not, would we get value out of him? He's not worth it if the Bills have no way of getting the ball to him. Negative thinking I suppose but I just can't get guys like Woods, Goodwin, Chris Hogan out of my mind. All WR's that seemed more valuable once away from Buffalo.

TheFunPolice Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Big money WRs are almost never worth it. Draft them, get your 4-5 seasons out of them, then cut bait when they want huge $$ and repeat the process. Same with RBs. Unless you have the second coming of Jerry Rice there's no reason to pay big $$ for a WR. You can find a RB in the later rounds of the draft or pretty cheap in free agency who can provide you 90% of what your star RB can.

Dez likely will sign with them also and the suck in Baltimore will continue.
