Gabe Davis playing 90% of snaps is insanity. So long and wish you all the best. Really? He's a PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE who was put in the position to make plays and catch balls!

gjv Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I think the Bills would be wise to offer Davis WRer 3 money. Should Davis be able to do better, I wish him well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 He looked like a breakout superstar at one point. But after a while the drops, miscommunications, and inconsistency at creating separation drove me crazy. But he seems to be a good guy who plays hard, and I wish him the best.

Paup 1995MVP Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 12 hours ago, Big Blitz said: One of my favorite Bills ever. You either get it or you don’t. Best type of ability is availability and he played, did the dirty work, and was on the receiving end of my favorite Jim Nantz calls of all time. That doesn’t mean I’m not disappointed in how 2023 played out because I am. But I’m blaming the Dorsey scheme and subsequent difficulties of adjusting on the fly - oh and he may have been battling the ankle for a few years now. One of your favorite Bills players ever??!! Seriously?? Gabe had some nice games over the years. Seemed like a good guy. And was a hard worker. But certainly not an overall game changer on a consistent basis. He isn't twitchy or sudden in his movements. Has mediocre athleticism hands and speed. But if you love him, good for you I suppose. He looks and reminds me of Mike Evans. A poor man's Mike Evans. We certainly need more explosiveness at the WR position to compete for a Super Bowl. Lets hope that happens this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think next year with Gabe being gone, we will truly come to understand the greatness of Josh Allen. Unless Gabe ends up in KC or alike, his numbers will not match what he did here. He's best s a 3rd or 4th option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Gabe’s a good dude. Hope he gets paid, just not by us. I’d give him 8 mil/yr to stay as a WR3 but he’d never take that, understandably. We need a WR2 who can run all the routes and separate with enough potential to become WR1 when Diggs is done. I’m not a draft guru but I’d think we’d have to spend our first round pick or trade up in the 2nd to get a guy with that potential right out of the gate.

FilthyBeast Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I think the handwriting has been on the wall for some time that Davis has played his last game in Buffalo, especially after the shouting match with fans in the playoff loss against the Chiefs. He'll definitely get a bag from someone and even if he were to accept lessor money to chase a ring I can see that being with the Chiefs ironically, or the Bengals since both are obviously in better position to compete for that compared to the Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsgoodtime Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 5 hours ago, Logic said: The weirdest thing to me is seeing, on the one hand, almost unanimous agreement among Bills fans that they want to upgrade from Gabe Davis, and on the other hand, a bunch of "just don't stay in the AFC!" and "anyone but the Chiefs!" comments. Feeling that a player isn't good enough for you to want your team to re-sign him, but that he IS good enough that you don't want him to go to an AFC competitor and come back to haunt you, is kind of a weird spot to be in. I think its just the fear in fans that once he moves on, Gabe Davis might learn how to catch a football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 16 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said: I saw this on Gabe’s Instagram tonight, but then found someone who posted to Twitter too, so posting both links in case it’s easier for someone to watch one over the other. Kind of looks like he is putting this out to both highlight his time here and promote his accomplishments ahead of Free Agency. Smart move. Even though I’ve been in the camp to let him go and draft a WR this year, this was still a fun watch and he has brought some big moments and games to his time in Buffalo. He makes a good case for himself at the end with the stats and rankings combined with the low targets compared to others. Overall this is a great piece for himself ahead of free agency and so enjoyed it and I wish him well. Link to video on Gabe’s actual account: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3jSE3WMeRO/?igsh=ZDE1MWVjZGVmZQ== Someone reposting it on Twitter: Thanks OP. That is one hell of a highlight reel. I would love to have him back, but someone is going to pay him to be a WR 1 and we can not afford to do that. Hate to see him go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 39 minutes ago, Awwufelloff said: He doesn’t do anything well, bye Gabe. He's good at finding soft spots in zone, putting vertical stress on a defense, blocking, sideline awareness, and making himself available when Josh extended the play going off script. He's always had a drop issue and just doesn't separate quick enough in the short to intermediate routes when teams play man to man. We need a WR2 who can do that consistently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that Davis gets dumped on here when he's been an incredible value to the team for four years. He's not a game wrecker, but he's provided competent WR2 play for less than a million dollars a season. If Kincaid has 2700 yards and 27 TDs in his first 4 seasons, Bills fans will be fitting him for a gold jacket. Meanwhile, his average salary in one season is roughly what Davis earned on his entire rookie deal. I guess I don't understand why everyone is so hostile towards a guy who never complained and vastly out-performed his contract and draft slot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have been down on Kincaid since he got here .. I remember you telling us mid season when Knox got injured that there was no chance that Kincaid would be able to step into the position and be as productive … Davis is out the door … even if he was better than what he is, the reality is that given their cap situation and handcuffs to Diggs and Miller ..they can’t keep him…Im sorry we aren’t as sentimental about his past performances like your colleagues on Chiefs Planet no doubt would be in similar circumstances about one of their players moving on.. As I alluded to above … Davis has definitely out performed a 4th round level position though… not that we have a lot of experience there because Beane normally can’t trade these quick enough to move up two spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
