Still, he's better than average. The fact that it's a pretty unimportant position makes me not care so much, however. Yeah he did take it out EZ once in a while when should have taken the knee. And I get he was just trying to make a play. However scoring on KR/PR don't happen often at all. So that doesn't bother me. And he gave Bills great field position many, many more times than not. Just saying I get why they moved on being likely he wasn't much of an impact at WR. He was just very reliable as a return man. I never thought to myself "hope Roberts doesn't muff this kick" and was always confident he was going to give decent field position for the most part. 21 minutes ago, dave mcbride said: He's a good returner, but he never scored in two seasons with the Bills and he took it out of the end zone plenty of times when he shouldn't have.

Most of the time the touchback is taken anyways. But it is nice to have that threat though. And even though he didn't take one to the house (which hardly happens anyway) you just knew and felt at times it was coming and he could at any time.

BillMafia716ix Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Everybody wants McKenZie back. I just don’t see them investing money in their 4th string WR. A rookie will fill that role.

4thandGoal Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Great for Roberts. Outside for a few fumbles-- he was sure handed for us and he will be missed but next man which may be Mckenzie or Dazz Newsome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather the dollars and attention be spread elsewhere. How many fumbles did he have while he was here? 1 this year that I can remember. His security catching the punts will be missed.

But I do agree the money should be spent elsewhere. I find it interesting the number of of guys we are letting walk/test free agency. Wallace and Roberts were ones I’d like back. In a league that has taken the kick return out of the game, he certainly put it back in for us. Gonna miss him. Gonna need to spend the money one way or another to fill the roster.

billsfan89 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 We all saw in 2018 how having an inconsistent return game can really lose you games. Having a steady hand the past two seasons was really good. I am very upset to see him go. Not sure why fans were so quick to rush him out the door. Maybe Mac can handle the return duties but I would have liked to have kept Roberts. 15 minutes ago, Mark80 said: How many fumbles did he have while he was here? 1 this year that I can remember. His security catching the punts will be missed. 1 fumble in two seasons and while I don't like his kick returning (he was fairly average) I think his punt returning was one of the best in the league. Never an explosive punt returner but he was always solid on his returns and never a turnover liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artem Lipatov Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I never understood why he is so highly rated - 3 pro bowls . 0 td for 2years. No breaking speed, no flashy plays.

Virgil Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Didn’t want to lose him, but didn’t have the money really. In this new league with KO rules, I get it. Just another reason to try and bring back McKenzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I know we all like Roberts returning punts for us but I think the most important thing to consider is the game day roster slot. I believe the Bills can do better than having a slot go to a punt returner. I say punt returner because a lot of guys can return kickoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ya gotta give credit to the ST unit as a whole Yeah I'm aware. I mentioned upthread about that.....A KR or PR hardly ever gets taken all the way anyhow. I mean how many returners the past few seasons have taken it all the way for the TD? May have 2 or 3 possibly that have. But point being it's rare, specially last few seasons as it's most of the time a touch back. Which makes it even more rare. My point was that you always felt he was due and it could happen any time with him. Also he got good/great field position pretty often. Sometimes you knew he should have taken a knee when he ran it out. It happens. But he definitely got great position a whole lot more than he didn't.

Quick WR or CB with reliable hands will be enough League leading KR average. He does have enough breaking speed, not the fastest, but fast enough. Again I'll say KR's taken for a TD don't happen hardly at all. He also was best in the league not only for the Bills, also with the Jets. He's a damn good KR/PR. I get the point he doesn't give you what you want at WR, and that's understandable. But to say he wasn't impressive as a KR/PR specialist, is kinda silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
