He was a QB in the wildcat his freshman year. He played WR/RB the next three years. 

He was recruited as a QB. He was one of the top recruits in the country. It wasn’t really the wildcat as much as he was a bad passer. He was a slash player that wasn’t a talented enough skill player to play ahead of others there. His LSU stats really don’t tell much of the story, good or bad.

And he has been a WR for either 5 or 8 years now...

I am confused as to the point that you are trying to make? He isn’t a good receiver now and wasn’t when he became one. He’s a good athlete but that’s about it. I’m not even sure if we are in agreement or not. All that I was saying is his LSU stats are meaningless because he switched positions and tried to learn to be a slash guy. It makes no difference if the Bills bring him in or not.

I get confused on here too. I think we agree - he is not a good WR and has enough time now to show that. Good athletic guy but about it. I am so used to hearing "MCD knows him so he must be legit, etc"

No one said that because McD doesn’t know him. He only played in carolina 1 year, and that was last year.

 

no one has said he’s legit or that he’s, as you put it, the “answer to their WR woes”

 

we just predicted they would bring him in because 1) he’s a WR 2) he was decent in Tampa to the point where Carolina signed him in FA and Beane was still there when they did and 3) he is a very strong ST player which they require for depth players

I meant it more as sarcasm and a general mindset we see on here a lot. "Trust the process" and dont question or debate anything because the McBeane team knows whats going on.

He was also ST captain for two years in Tampa. McD sending the private jet.

Smh sad... this coaching staff love special teams & fullbacks...

 

 

Why not sign an extra punter & kicker for depth

His drop in production is concerning.  It’s not like Buffalo has been the land of turnaround stories for poorly performing WR’s.

Ah, but he's never played with AJ McCarron, two time national champion.

This coaching staff is one year in and has already made the playoffs.  I’ll refrain from head shaking at this point.

Yes. No matter how much the guy blows.

 

Like I said. McBeane must love bad WR's.

 

I’m sure glad you’ve got your annual “reasons why they’ll suck” arsenal ready to roll...

Do the Bills receivers not suck? 

 

Benjamin doesn't suck.  I don't think Zay Jones sucks.  Kerley isn't trash.  Holmes made some plays a year ago.  The rest is unknown/unproven.  I think Proehl is going to surprise people.

 

Unlike you, I'm not going to trash what I don't know until I see them on the field.

A lot of these comments are the same comments said about Hyde, Poyer last year... now those people are singing a different song.

 

When will fans accept the fact the FO and these coaches know more than they do? He may be used in a totally different way than any other way he’s been used in his career.

 

Bring him in... If they all can agree on his role and all be positive that positive things can happen... then why shouldn’t I!!!

The last time I checked, Carolina hasn't really been the end-all place to pull talent from.

Don't tell that to McBeane...they're turning the Bills into Carolina North.
