GunnerBill Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 1 minute ago, GoBills808 said: Ah. 'Standard'. A new turn of phrase. One that I must have not seen in your last comment...the one right before you said 'reading helps' or something to that effect. I should have realized when you said certain NFL players are not NFL players you meant those NFL players are not NFL 'standard' players...because an NFL 'standard' player is such a simple and intuitive concept, especially for us non-NFL playing fans. ' The read what I wrote was in response to your smart attempt to misquote me from a number of days ago. It is a pretty simple concept. Watch the players closely. See if they are capable of making plays at this level. The ones that are put in the "NFL standard" bucket. The ones that aren't put in the "Not NFL standard" bucket. It takes a lot of time I do confess to spend so much time watching and rewatching the plays but if you do then the eye in the sky don't lie.

Well, let’s be honest here...it’s not like the kid doesn’t have a history of dropping passes. He needs to reel in a few of those long balls from Allen or he’s just a fast guy who is bad at catching.

Allen couldnt have thrown a more perfect pass. Please cut this guy, pronto. We really don't have too many other options and he's a young kid. At least he's getting open. Seems like fans here want to cut everyone who has a bad game or couple games. Players and coaches can improve. Leslie Frazier is a shining example of that today.

As is Clay. They are both likely in their last year as Bills though. Foster based on what he has put on tape just isn't. Zay the jury remains firmly out. I agree with whoever said in the game thread that Ray-Ray is the only one at the moment I am willing to consider a part of the 2019 Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please cut this guy, pronto. Foster is a rookie free agent with speed, he dropped a couple of hard catches. On the other hand, slower than dog sh!t, first round 4th-year pro, Benjamin drops two very catchable balls.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 some WR help would be great. Leave no stone unturned. They brought in CB/OL this week, next week some WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meanwhile I think it's a little premature to call him 'not NFL standard' or whatever. Whatever. I have no dog in the Foster fight, but just realistically you can't know much about a rookie until they play a year or two. Especially a rookie wideout.

If Foster can’t catch a ball by now, chances are he never will! You cant compare him and Kelvin because they both stink.

stevewin Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) I'm in the minority but I'm hoping/thinking Foster's going to grow into a legitimately reliable WR. I saw him at 3 TC practices and to me he just jumped out at each - was so fast and smooth and getting open. And he also was catching balls too. I think he's just a little overwhelmed in live action - and eventually it will come together for him. I'm rooting for him Edited September 23, 2018 by stevewin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Foster - Well he gets open and he seems to know the plays so for a rookie Fister has 2/3rds of it. Sure he needs to catch the ball. I would not cut him so soon, he can improve and we have nothing else. Beane needs to make WR a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
