Elijah Moore stats in 2025-25:

54 rec. 678 yards and 5 TDs.

Are you okay with that?

Yes.  What if we get 6-7 of our guys those same stats?  

 

Moore

Palmer

Shakir

Coleman

Kincaid 

 

Can all hit that easy.

I like the signing.  Here is my main question.  How will Brady and the Bills utilize Moore?

 

He is a small fast receiver, who primarily been used underneath.  His career yards per catch is only 10.8 yards.  Basically he is a younger, smaller Curtis Samuel who is already a Bill.

 

My hope is the Bills do something very un-Bills like and use his speed to to help take the cover off the defense opening up room for Kincaid, Palmer and others, while also giving him a few opportunities a game to make a big play downfield.   I hope they try it with Samuel as well.

So we have 6 receivers on the roster all 6’ 1” or under.  In fact we only have two receivers over 6’ 1” and that Shavers and the 7th round rookie.  This is going to be fun to watch…aim small miss small Josh. 

Keon Coleman shrunk?

I asked earlier in the WR thread and earlier in this thread, how would the Beane critics feel if Coleman, Kincaid, Palmer and Shakir all had 800 yards next season.  Would that still be the worst WR group in the NFL?   

 

 

[TheWeatherMan]

He’s listed as 6’ 1” on the Bills website 

 

Edit: 6’ 4”, I’m blind

Man, remember those teams when it was like Week 12?
 We were usually 5-7 and still mathematically alive….but the dudes they had to trot out onto the field when the starter got injured were just so bad. 

So true. We’d be like, “maybe Naaman Roosevelt will be able to step right in?!”

One player on this team had that many catches last season, one had that many yards, and none had that many TDs.  That would be a brilliant signing if Moore were to post a stat line like that.

(The worst part of the Beane radio interview was the fact that he kind of blamed Josh’s contract………. meanwhile, Josh thinks he did the Bills a favor. That’s a bit of a disconnect and that’s a bit tricky.)

He’s right though. If you are going to pay Josh and Shakir and Benford and Bernard and Oliver and Dawkins etc it can limit what else you can add. It’s why the Niners had to trade Deebo Samuel and gut their roster, becuase they have pay the QB. It’s why the Chiefs had to trade Tyreek Hill and lose free agents every year. I didn’t take it as blaming Josh’s contract really. He’s saying you can’t have everything when you are paying a qb the way they are, and he is right.

On 97 targets?  That's terrible efficiency.

Our most receptions last year was Shakir with 76. Next highest was Kincaid at 44... There's no way Moore is getting more than 80. First he has to make the team.

Make the team?  Do you just rattle off frivolous , silly comments like that?. On a one year hometown deal with an opportunity to ride the greatness of Josh to a multi year deal somewhere, he’s the vertical threat on the team with experience and great motivation. He’s making the team. To me, he’s a better option than Coleman with more speed and separation. Josh spreads it around( everyone eats mentality) so Shakir will get his but I easily see Moore getting 41/2 to 5 receptions average.

To some yes.  They are too into fantasy football.  What if all 5 (inc Moore) had those stats?  Then add in what RB's, Knox etal also do.

I agree - very different players but playing a very similar role, minus the special teams.  Had Coleman continued to improve after his injury, Hollins role on the field would have been continually reduced.  He took on more than his share because Coleman hit a wall.   He is a more talented player than Hollins.  He will be expected to start living up to his draft position this year.  Who will pick up Hollins ST role is a more apt question.  It’s a big challenge for the young man but it is now or never.  

Colemans floor is Hollins career.  8 years of play by Hollins has been quite good at times. 

[PromoTheRobot]

Jeremy White right now...

[Redblood]

Got him!

On a side note, hate that we lost Hollins

[Mister Defense]

A 2nd round pick  in the 2021 draft

 

34th player taken in that draft

 

Has played for one of the most dysfunctional offenses in the NFL since drafted.

 

4.35 speed, "roadrunner speed" as seen above. Beep, Beep! , as Steve Spagnola tries to stop him... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iWvedIhWjM

 

Nice move, with big upside.

 

Beane is the man, will be the NFL executive of the year this year.

Haha, good on Jeremy. I usually like the morning show, but I also understood why Beane put them in their place.
