What about the ones that were dropped - are you adding those in? I didn't pick and choose. Those were high-yardage plays that he threw poorly. Those plays both added numbers to his total More than any of his other throws. I'm as bullish on JA's prospects as anyone, but the rose coloured glasses are not to be worn.He's a talent that needs polishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand the question. We have the worst WR group in football. We had the same situation last year. Obviously this team places no value on the position. The player in question is a street free agent with little or no chance to amount to anything in the league. Seems like the type of player Beane and Mcd would be interested in.

He's the Bears version of Brandon Reilly. Not fast (ran a 4.58 40 at his pro day) but good hands and a try hard personality. Given the Bills WR depth, that might be good enough, actually...

section122 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Wanted to bump this up. With the release of Holmes and Benjamin I would love to see him signed off of the Bears practice squad. I know we have a few Wyoming fans here that could speak on him but when I watched Allen highlights from College a lot of the throws were to Gentry. He also played very well for them this preseason (16 catches for 144 and a td). How about it Beane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I've been begging for them to sign Gentry off the Bears p-squad and Daurice Fountain off the Colts. Fountain was an absolute terror in the East West game and it is dumb that he is sitting on a practice squad and not on an active roster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentry and Biegel are on practice squads and Drango and Breeland are free to sign. Probably should sign Matt Moore too. That should all shake things up. Matt Moore?

JESSEFEFFER Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 This idea has kicked around awhile and I say I'm keen on it. Think how many times Gentry caught an Allen throw in their time together. His hands are probably trained to do it. He is used to the power and he probably knows not to quit on his routes and where to be on a scramble. Get him on the active roster and see if there is any chemistry there to exploit at this level. Logically there must be something there to justify the experiment. Gentry is 6'2' 200+ so he is not small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to deonte Thompson and tyrod or fitz and stevie johnson. Gentry made some nice catches in the college highlight reels of Allen and the Bills are officially in a youth movement it seems to make sense to me.

jlgarsh Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Matt Moore wasn't a bad suggestion at the time. Now, I hope Barkley sticks around as Allen's backup. It's the first time in ages we have a backup that could actually come in and play. He's no superstar, but good enough to run the offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if it was just about speed, we have foster, Ray-Ray, McKenzie. We need more of a possession type, or scramble drill type. Our speed is fine tbh. personally I don’t care if we sign Gentry.

Perhaps it's a Marquise Goodwin situation and he needs to see the clowning dream out before he can be all in on professional football? Just asking questions in this thread.
