Kincaid Chasing Bills History

[thenorthremembers]

Lost in this years tumult is the fact Kincaid is on pace to set both the season standard for both receptions and yards by a Bills tight end.   I understand the Bills dont have a lengthy history of great tight ends, but I think its a pretty big accomplishment given he is playing on a team that already has a "pro-bowl" tight end on the roster.    To be honest I was a little blown away when I saw his season was on pace to set the standard for receptions and yards by a Bills Tight End, despite his talent, I feel like his ceiling is a long ways off.   Let's hope its only up from here.  I hope the kid ends up reaching both standards and sets the bar nice and high from Bills tight ends from today forward.

Considering how they weren't using/targeting him nearly enough early in the season I'd say whatever he does this year he should be able to top especially with a full non rookie offseason.

We have a history of great TE’s?? Pete Metzelaars was good. Who else?

Think you missed the “don’t”. Though Jay Remiersma might have something to say.

Haven't had many and are rarely able to guard them. It's like the organization historically doesn't know they exist.

Honestly he is arguably the best we've had.   Plus the Detroit Snow Shovel TD Celebration adds bonus points.

He came a few seasons after you, if I recall correctly.

Jay Remiersma was clutch. I don't remember if my nostalgia is clouding my judgement, but I always felt he was super underrated, and would've thrived with a better overall offense.

Actually, you're underscoring how significant Kincaid's Bills history chase actually is. 

 

Not only is he close to breaking the All Time rookie TE team record in both catches and yards...he's closing in on the all time Buffalo Bills rookie record for receptions in a rookie year. Currently Sammy Watkins holds that with 65 (on 128 targets😂). If healthy he should break that very soon, and that with missing a game and not really being a factor early on. Kid is a special talent 

[Milanos Milano]

Better than Gronk? Oh wait, the Bills messed that one up. Lol homegrown and a Billsy oversight.

My bad cuz 😂

[wppete]

The scary thing is they barely used him in the beginning of the season and now they aren’t using him enough. He should get 10 targets a game.  

[Buffalo_Stampede]

They still aren’t using him right yet.

I'd like to see them get him vertical more often, he's won downfield often enough when they do so.

[Bookie Man]

Would like to see him on some more screens and downfield stuff. Contested catch monster at Utah.

What about Tyler Kroft and Charles Clay? The best of the best 😂

I still have PTSD from Kincaid taking those weird frog leaps with the ball and eventually fumbling and losing the Bengals game when the offense had finally got going.

Ernie Warlick and Paul Costa.

[C.Biscuit97]

TE is the worst position in the history of the position. I think DK is one of my favorite picks ever but he will have the career records in like year 2. It is about how good he is and how much we have neglected such an awesome position for so long. 

[Pete]

Rueben Grant lol

I think the routes are there. Josh has to start trusting him on them. 

[Billzgobowlin]

The best thing I can say about him is he catches the ball.  Why we don't throw to him more is crazy.

I loved the move, he is extremely athletic.  I would chalk that up to as a fluke, the defensive player somehow got a good hit on the ball when it was a moving target.

He might be great, but he will never be Friggin Lonnie!

He of the detached head.

First for the hit he took.

Forever after, as he never was the same. 😢

We’ve had some decent TE’s and it’s early, but Kinkaid has shined.  We still desperately need a WR to compliment Diggs.  Diggs is 30 so we need to probably draft one a year for the next two years.  A top TE with a couple of WR weapons and we have a solid RB in Cook.  Murray and Fournette are fine fillers, but we could benefit from a bruiser in the future.

Yes, but honestly that era a 50-60 catch TE was pro bowl caliber. There were a few guys league wide who may grab 70-80 balls but this was so rare.

I was just going to post that it took 2 pages for someone to mention Friggin Lonnie

 

 

No love for Lee Smith and David Moore?

Dawson Knox, statistically, is one of the greatest TEs we’ve ever had. Hoping he regains his 2021 and 2022 form once he’s back from injury. 

[KDIGGZ]

I heard he's a big Cole Beasley so why would we care about TE records if he's a slot receiver?
