I feel like if he had a decent qb throwing to him he could be a legitimate receiver in this league. Am i just delusional here? I know alot of people have been down on this guy but i have a feeling he will shine by the end of his rookie contract. zay impressed compared to last season.....he is a keeper for sure.....imagine if only we had a somewhat functional offense he will be even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishPrince Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Wasnt there a stat that Zay Jones had the highest separation per pass of any other WR in the league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCoBills Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Idk what the stats say but my eyes are telling me he’s open a lot and he’s catching the football. He looks much improved and I think he has a future in the league. He could develop into a solid WR2 and there is some hope he could become a WR1 if he has the right QB and system.

reddogblitz Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I'm eating crow. I was a huge critic last year. He played really well last night and the drops are way down. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I have always thought, and still think, that he will be a superstar. Last year was mind-boggling, but I was confident it was just rookie yips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthomas Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Zay has definitely looked better this year than last year... which isn't hard to do but nonetheless its still a positive development. I mean you can only go up from there, or be out of the league all together. I imagine with better qb play & a better surrounding cast his stats would improve. Pretty much what plagues the entire offense right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I think Zay has proven thus far he at least belongs in the NFL. Now to what degree can he be effective is a the question? Right now he is playing as a fringe WR3 or high end WR4 but his play is consistently improving as he seems to be gaining more confidence. If (and this is a big IF) Zay finishes the back half of the year strong I think you can be comfortable having him be the WR3 of this team going into 2019. But if his play isn't that strong I think you have to bring in a vet or rookie at WR 3 to make him battle for that spot. But as of now Zay is looking like he might be salvageable.

He played really well last night and the drops are way down. As it stands right now, Zay is the only WR on this team I would want to bring back next season. Bills fans are pretty quick to write players off. It is the upshot of so much losing. We see rookies coming in and dazzling NFL fans, in other cities, and we wonder why our guys can never do that. People here were ready to declare Edmunds a bust, after two games...and how about Matt Milano? Everybody loves him now...Aaron Williams was a whipping boy a few years ago, before becoming a fan favorite. It may be that bad teams take longer to develop young talent.

Bing Bong Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 He sure is. Now we need a #2 and #1 and hope Zay can kill it in the slot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Goat Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 He was a better streaker earlier in his career, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Absolutely. He has been the lone bright spot on offense this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Really consistent play this season - notable considering our passing limitations. And his effort really stands out. Comeback of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessYaDigg Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Don't get too used to this. Once he develops nicely, we'll let him go and he'll be even more successful somewhere else. It's happened way too many times for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can definitely see the difference from last season, with viable QB play I think he'll be just fine as it usually takes a WR 3 seasons to start living up to the draft status. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Progress. All we want to see is progress. And we have seen that this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 He's a bigger, faster Josh Reed. Eh reciever, who isn't a game breaker, but will make some solid plays in the slot. I was hoping he'd be more Golden Tate, but he's more Josh Reed imo. I think with Pryor and KB on the outside, we could see Zay with a mini breakout.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 This is like the Nets, or Magic, or Knicks in basketball. Someone is going to lead the team in scoring. I think Zay Jones is a #3, who on this team is the #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
