So, what do you guys think? @Mr. WEO I’m interested in your thoughts. You’re very animated in the other thread but I can’t tell where you really stand. Go on record. If there is another voting option that would better suit your feelings, say the word and I’ll add it. I went with option 2- I genuinely like Gabe and I think he has very good value as a WR4 and is an ok 3rd WR option (I don’t want him in the slot). I feel he is lacking in speed/athleticism, route running/ separation, rac and contested catches. He’s capable but just too inconsistent due to all of the above. I appreciate his work ethic and I think his parents did a wonderful job raising him to be a great humans. Whoa its like you said you like him but he's lacking in every single attribute that's required for a receiver to be good. I'd think there's gotta be low cost option that can catch and separate better than Gabe. I would not mind your scenario but we can do better.

I think he will continue to improve in many aspects of playing the position- I’m just not a fan of his athletic ability 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As this season has worn on, I'm one of the last off the Davis bandwagon Now watch him have a HUGE game on Dallas LOL Thats actually possible. Thats what Davis does... he has a big game here and there and then disappears. I head on some video, don't remember which that Dallas likes to run a lot of Cover 1 and that Diggs isn't so good against cover 1 but Davis is really good against it. I dunno if any of that is true or not but I remember hearing it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Wrotto Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I voted to keep him as a 3-5 receiver, but after thinking about it, I’d let him walk. What expectations do we have for Shorter? Any idea, I know he has been injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverOutNick Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Seems like a good guy and team player but he’s not an NFL WR. Spend the money on Courtland Sutton and/or draft Odunze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behindenemylines Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I voted no because I dont think he has the football IQ for that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Gabe produced lots of good moments for the Bills but Josh has lost confidence in him and has been too inconsistent. He will get $13M + a year contract with some team and it won’t be the Bills. We need to draft a WR in the 1st round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 20 hours ago, BADOLBILZ said: Yeah if he doesn't get AT LEAST $10M aav over 3 years then the league is saying they think he REALLY sucks. Alan Lazard got 4 years $44M in a deeper free agent class last year and I can't imagine he was seen as a better option than Gabe will be this year. If anything, I think the demand for WR talent has only grown. Offensive numbers may be down but WR have never been bigger difference makers than this season. I don't want Gabe back for anywhere near what he is going to get but they are going to have a hard time filling his role as a WR3-4 type with as good or better of a veteran UFA because there aren't nearly enough to go around. i wonder what it would be like if the Bills dedicated the 24 draft primarily to blockers and wide receivers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrochester55 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) I would say to move on. The three or four big games a year are not enough to offset the other games where he is a complete non-factor. He is going to look for starting WR money, and the Bills are going to be in cap trouble. With the way that Davis is playing, production from a young player like Shakir or a veteran on a small contract would most likely be better or equal at worse. I have nothing against Gabe. He had a great start to his career and showed enough for Buffalo to give him a look at a #2 option. He was not quite at that level and it didn't work out. If he doesn't get hurt, he still has a few years ahead of him as a #3 or #4 option with potential for a handful of big plays a year. Not a bad career for a 4th round pick.

Career wise though it's not. Gabe has less receptions but around the same yards, and way more touchdowns. Davis is also praised as a great blocker and Jones is not.

Yeah those appear to be positions of strength. A lot of OT's considered draft-able and a ton of WR's. But I suspect the WR's will go faster than people expect because now everyone knows you need 3-4 very good receiving targets/offensive weapons to expect to win. Teams with a high volume of playmakers are making modestly talented QB's look like guys who you can win a SB with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
