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. Reminder last year on TNF v the Jets he broke out before that unlucky injury. Edited November 14, 2018 by FeelingOnYouboty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much more than 10 days ago Zay was a bust and the o-Line was the worst in the NFL. Our OL was ranked around 24th overall a week ago by PFF. This could bump them up by 4 or 5 spots. 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).

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...

I know some may not feel the same way but I believe his pep talk had a great deal to do with how that team and offense played sunday.

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. 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...
