lol too easy.  A healthy Davis would be WR3 on this roster.

 

But Beane is feverishly looking up his contacts for Beasley and "Smokey" Brown....

He’s go good that the jags decided not to take on his 6.9M cap hit.  They’d rather eat 20M in dead cap to get rid of him.  Basically gave him 1 year 39m.  🤣

I think there’s a 50-50 shot he’s back in Buffalo.

 

Well, Yeah like with every team except Jags , he has a 50-50 shot in he will either sign with a team or he will not sign with said teaam.

Why? He’s an actual better version of Mack Hollins, good in the locker room, and certainly not good enough to demand a high target share.

 

He ain’t perfect but no one on the Bills is either. 

 

I'm not sure I'd agree with your statement in bold..... I'd argue Hollins had better hands, I'll give you blocking was pretty close, hell saw many plays from Hollins blocking that were top notch blocks by a WR. I might would even give that to Hollins too tbh....

 

You have to acknowledge Hollins didn't really come on until he came to Buffalo with Josh Allen....One could easily argue that Gabe Davis's play took a  nose dive the last couple years with the Great Josh Allen. Maybe it was more of the initial injury Davis had but I don't see it myself, You can excuse the route running issues to an extent due to leg/ankle injuries...

 

But you can't use it as an excuse for all the drops he was starting to be known for the last two seasons for sure....Oh last but not least, as far as your statement about good in the locker room, I'm not sure Hollins doesn't have that one in the bag too....??!!

 

So all in all, I'd strongly disagree with your opening statement in the 2nd post in bold, I'm sure there's more ppl that would say Hollins is thye better version of Gabe Davis than the other way around at this point, imo

Gabe is an average to slightly above average WR2. I think if he comes back you put him on the left side and then you put Keon on the right side and obviously Shakir goes in the slot..

 

Let Palmer, Samuel and Moore battle it out in camp.

No-  Gabe is a poor WR2.  Meh WR3 and decent WR4.  Dude has boo boo’s on his feet 75% of every season which hurts his value in a big way.  
 

I’d take him back and let him run block and throw him an occasional PA bomb.

Trevor Lawrence is not very good and I think JA17 can get more out of him. If we’re talking about $6M-$8M on a one year deal, why wouldn’t you? He’ll probably take less because Josh can restore his image..

I’m not to excited about Palmer. More excited about Palmer then I would be of Gabe because we already seen what he can do. Bringing up the ints when Moore was targeted is laughable. 35% of the targets that went his way were uncatchable. He caught 61 of the 65 passes that were catchable.  Moore is probably the most talented WR we have and I’m curious to see if him and Allen can make a good connection. I don’t need to see Gabe’s 5 crappy games then one big one. 
 

 

Are you attempting to break the record for most grammatical errors in a single post?

I agree fully with the bolded which is why I said he would need to be out of options.  I do think it would be the best place for him as he would fit into the role he belongs in as a 4thish receiver.  

 

Steelers and Giants make sense from a roster pov however Steelers have no QB and the Giants are a mess.  I agree those are probably better spots for him from a financial perspective.  I am very interested in who will bring him in.  Saints are another team that could take a shot at him but again, terrible qb situation.

 

I could see him finding his way back here but to your point I think he has to try a couple of other places first.  If I were him though, I would give it another go with Allen and see if I couldn't trick another team into a large payday lol.

 

I agree with everything you said, however, the bolded is where I just dont think it jives with what his real role would be here unless injuries come into play.  I think he is looking at 20-30 rec at most here without injuries, not sure that gets him his next legit gig.  

 

Along with Pitt and NYG, off the top of my head I could also see SF, Rams, Sea, NE, Cle, Balt, LAC, Jets, etc all being potential teams with interest.

Josh can get more out of a player than anyone….that doesn’t make Gabe a good WR2.  If he was, Jax wouldn’t cut him and take on 14 additional million on the cap.  
 

He WAS our #2 and was not good.  

[JimBob2232]

Man, no love for Gabe.  Shocking, honestly.  Id take him back.  Sure, he had some drops...but also some HUGE plays.  If Josh wants him...im all in.

Personally, I don't think Josh can get anything more out of him than what he's gotten already. As for the 2nd sentence in bold, I wouldn't because we've been there and done that story. Moved on from the drops and should stay that way

[BuffaloRebound]

I’d rather see what palmer, moore, and 2nd year Coleman have, but I wouldn’t be against signing Davis as a vet minimum insurance policy in case of injuries.  Doubt Gabe would be interested in that role but he’s made enough money the last 14 months that he can pick where he wants to be and not worry about money.  Vrabel relishes being a troll so Gabe could probably shake the Pats down for some good money if that floats his boat too.

Couple of my opinions…

 

I do believe the idea that Beane loves Gabe. 
 

Gabe is way better than Hollins. 
 

In an everyone eats offense in which route running, spacing, and precision is key, Gabe is an awful fit. In this case Moore is the right move. 
 

Despite that, Gabe could help as a deep threat. Also, he should sign with the Giants.

Keon and Khalil can lock down the rest... have you seen Moore's 2024 highlights? He looks like he can more than handle outside.

Elijah Moore is very easily capable of becoming exactly what John Brown was for Josh.  Both are around 5-10 and both ran a 4.34 40.  I just don't want to see us bring back retreads like Davis, Diggs, Cooper. They had their chance and it's time for fresh faces and motivation.

Please let him sign with another team, preferably a good team with a great qb, so he can drag them down a notch too

My immediate reaction was no, but after giving it some thought there's nothing wrong with creating even more competition in the WR room, even if just through training camp.  If Gabe is willing to sign a vet minimum deal and try to prove himself, and then wins a roster spot, it makes the team better.

 

 

This.

Jags fans were done with him after 1 year 😂

I’m sorry, but none of these stats mean anything when your QB is MVP17.  Allen singularly made both these jags better.

Huh?

 

Mack didn’t even have the best year of his career here. And his year wasn’t comparable to Gabe’s years with Josh.

Mack Hollins posted 57 catches for 690 yards in Las Vegas 2 years ago.

 

He had 378 yards in Buffalo in 13 starts.

 

Not to slight Mack at all, but we have evidence of what Gabe did with Josh and what Mack did with Josh and it’s not close.

I didn't remember Mack running the wrong routes or dropping many passes in crucial situations😎

Mack absolutely had his best year here. I’m sure you’re looking at 2021 with Miami when they forced him the ball 100 times and he got blowout mock-up duty, but last season was absolutely his best season.

 

To that point, he received his largest contract ever after playing with Allen. After his 2021 season, he got a $2M contract. He just signed an $8M contract after playing with Allen.
