PrimeTime101 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I could list WR after WR that took them 2-3 years before they got it.. been telling others but the pro's say he is a bust so what do I know. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I still think it takes a WR 2 or 3 years to get good and hopefully while developing he is building a rapport with his QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadonkadonk Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Oh dear, he played one decent but not great game. Until now he has been a solid bust. 99% of the folks on this board did not want him cut and 99% thought it was too soon to declare his career a bust. Some of us listed him as a surprise cut and with the off-season craziness that was plausible even though unlikely thus the word surprising. Now let's hope he continues to play well. He doesn't and will never have elite speed or even quickness. But he has more than adequate size and if his route running is good and his hands get better the can be a solid #2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rather tough playing decent games when you have no one to get the ball to you with any consistency and you're playing hurt as well. 23 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Depends on the player, the system, and the supporting cast.

To me it's hard to say giving the QB and OL situations. Yes he had some games where he had crucial drops as a rookie. Outside of that however, we really couldn't grade his rookie season because of the QB play. He was also playing through an injury the entire time. This season I'd argue the same thing, it's tough to gauge WR play when the QB play is not where it needs to be. Well except for when you do the opposite of what you are paid to do, ie, see Kelvin Benjamin. His play is easy to grade.

BuffaloBill Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 It’s amazing how things turn with a win. Not much more than 10 days ago Zay was a bust and the o-Line was the worst in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroutDog Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Jerry Rice was ok first year, broke out second (getting near 1,000 yards). Cris Carter had his breakout in season five. Tim Brown was year six. Andre Reed was year four. Those are are the top receivers in the NFL Hall of Fame. You can keep going down the list and it’s generally the same: it takes time for most receivers to adjust their game to the pro level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelingOnYouboty Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Looks like the game is slowing down for Zay Jones.

We still need a new C and OT, though. Maybe a G too. As far as Zay goes, I just hope this game marks a turning point for him.

gjv001 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 If the Oline blocks Jacksonville as well as it did New York, Allen, McCoy, and Jones will get PFF top ratings for week 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 One of my favorite Bills WRs - Eric Moulds - had as much production in year 2 hours ago, TroutDog said: Jerry Rice was ok first year, broke out second (getting near 1,000 yards). Cris Carter had his breakout in season five. Tim Brown was year six. Andre Reed was year four. Those are are the top receivers in the NFL Hall of Fame. You can keep going down the list and it’s generally the same: it takes time for most receivers to adjust their game to the pro level. My 2nd favorite Bills WR of all-time, Eric Moulds, had twice as many yards in Year 3 (1368) as Year 1 (279) and Year 2 (294) combined. After an unimpressive start to his career, Moulds averaged just about 1,000 yards per season from his 3rd NFL season to his 10th, despite some injuries. Some WRs need time to blossom. Hopefully Zay's best years lie ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite example of this was the duo on the 1996 Jags (although still angry they beat us in the playoffs that year). Keenan McCardell and Jimmy Smith were both fifth year receivers with zero 1000 yard seasons between them (in fact, only McCardell had a season with more than 300 yards while Smith had barely made it to the field), who would go on to notch 14 1k yard seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither did Jerry Rice but guess what. Not saying hes Jerry b but he doesnt need elite speed to be good. A lot of people said Woods couldnt be a #2 guess what It looks an awful lot like they were correct. Cant be a 2 when youre a 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
