EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 They should really limit the number of captains you’re allowed to name. 8 out of 53 players? Thats 15% if of your team. It should be 2-4 max. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to argue with the list, and think it's strictly player-voted. But yeah to your point, Dion is definitely a team leader/great teammate from various reports. Nice to have a group of young/vet leaders, pretty good balance on both sides of the ball. Another reason I like the Kirksey signing too, he's another leader-type that should help.

The guys who find a way to finally put it all together in the last year drives me nuts True. But on the flip side, many of those guys regress back to their average once they get paid. Getting a monster year of production, then a 3rd round comp pick, can wind up easing the pain a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCofNC Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 He works hard, tries hard, and doesn’t act like a B word, so of the WRs, he makes sense. That said, being a captain doesn’t mean you are good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis was 11th in the league in yards amongst WR 2, Tied for 5th in WR2 TD in the league. Add in those 9 drops and I bet he's well over 1K yards and a TD or 2 as well.

I expect him to be a force this season. He was also a top 10 overall wr in catch % for first downs, catching 73% of his targets that would move the stick. He also averaged over 9 yards per target. Yes he has to clean up some of his drops, but I'm not sure if those 7 drops had nearly as significant a negative impact as his 35 receptions for first downs. I'd be perfectly happy if some combination of Davis, Knox, Cook and Kincaid amount to 3 or 4 #3 type targets around 65-75 each. But if Gabe improves 3-4% from his first two seasons in catch percentage, I won't fault the Bills for giving the clear #2 number targets, around 100... I'm happy with 58 reactions on 100 targets, over 850 yards, over 30 1st downs, over 7 TD's and less than 7 drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he breaks 1k yards this year, his contract will be a ton different than if he were to get one now True. But a few comments that he's recently made - like listening to his mother tell him, "You're living the dream. Don't get caught up in the money" - suggest that he might be amenable to a team-friendly contract. Remember a few years ago when we had three key players whose contracts were up and most of us (myself included) thought Beane would only re-sign one. Well, all three signed. This year, many of us thought Poyer was Miami-bound, but he's back. Gabe seems happy, the team is a contender, and he may realize that he's not a #1 but a solid #2 opposite Diggs. Let's hope his mom keeps him humble. Edited August 31, 2023 by WhoTom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 He's a hard working overachiever and a good guy...........I don't see any problem with it. Has nothing to do with the fact that he lacks the talent to get open on most routes and has bad hands. He doesn't insist they throw the ball to him.........it's on the organization to find ways to put him in better position to succeed..........which is as the clear WR3 or WR4 option.
