Inigo Montoya Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) I really didn't expect this kind of production from him this season. I thought he would be pretty quiet this year and benefit from studying at Wide Receiver University behind Diggs, Brown, and Beasley learning what it takes to be a solid NFL WR. He is making key plays every time his number is called. He doesn't get many targets but he takes advantage of every single one and has been hauling in passes that move the sticks and score TDs. Through four games he has 8 targets and 8 receptions. For those of you without an abacus handy, that's a 100% catch rate. Two of those catches were TDs. He's on pace for 8 TDs this year, his rookie year, as the team's WR4. He was averaging an incredible 14.7 yards per reception coming into the Raiders' game and that average will go up with his 26 yard TD reception today. A critical play that won't show up on his stats was the route at the end of the Rams game that he drew the flag on. Being aggressive and running the route as hard as he could helped win that game for us. The big takeaway from me is that the NFL game just doesn't seem too big for him. I think Beane and his scouts really found a late round gem in Davis. He was the 17th WR selected in this year's draft. Crazy. I hope Beane can find the money to keep John Brown after this year. I'd hate to take any weapon away from this offense the way it is clicking right now, but if Brown does move on, I think Gabe is showing that he has the chops to step up and become a legit WR2 with upside in this League.

cage Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) If you go back to the draft Embedded video they put out, its especially great hearing Beane talk about him at the scouting combine (4:10) and hoping that he doesn't run too fast of a time in the 40 making his draft stock go up. He knew he wanted to grab him even before the combine Edited October 5, 2020 by cage 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 He has caught everything thrown his way including one ridiculous catch on 3rd down for a TD that was needed badly and a nice toe tap on a deep ball vs the Rams. However, he is in about as good a position as he could be. On a team that is passing the ball well with three quality Receivers on the field at the same time as him some plays. Diggs and to a lesser extent Brown and Beasley need to be handled by the defenses as they are known quantities who can beat you. Gabriel Davis is the forgotten man, no double teams to deal with and no pressure as the top WR on the team like some of the other rookie WR's. This looks like a great pick who I am sure will continue to develop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 He’s making plays when asked, but let’s pump the brakes on his greatness. He’s wr4 and teams are more focused on stopping 1-3 so Davis should be open more. I haven’t done the rewind but I doubt he’s facing the top corners on some of these sets. It’s a pleasant surprise and a fantastic way to groom a rookie so I hope people don’t take it as a negative. If/when the time comes that he’s needed in a bigger role and faces the top defenders he should be ready to roll. But jeudy and Jefferson are facing the starting corners and sometimes double coverages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 He's doing very well, but I don't want him to replace Brown. Brown's speed opens up holes. Davis runs nice routes and plays well, but having guys on both sides who scare defenses deep is really effective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushypeaches Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I know that Watkins & Evans were solid contributors pretty much right away as rookies, but Davis seems different. Mostly in that he doesn't have to be the man right away and is also contributing with blocking, solid route running, and complementing the top 3 guys. But you can definitely see a complete #1 receiver for us in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love Davis though...and I'd obviously take Diggs and Davis over any one of those three I listed above. So as a WR4, he is already making impacts (big impacts with MIA and Raiders). That is what you want from him when you have the likes of Diggs, Brown and Bease in front of him. There is NOTHING I have seen from Davis that if given the Targets the 3 you mentioned he would not perform at the level or above of the 3 you mentioned and 2-3 rounds lower. 1 hour ago, whatdrought said: Seems like good teams know who their dudes are before the combine.

Diggs isn’t on the field every snap. The point was Jeudy is facing CB1 or 2 virtually every snap as is Jefferson. Davis doesn’t have to face that kind of talent every snap. It’s not a knock on him, for all we know he can line up with Jalen Ramsey and win his routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
