I like Shakir too. I don’t think that he’s better than Wilson because he isn’t. Garrett Wilson can be a great football player while the Jets are a bad football team. Both things can be true.

 

ESPN polled 70 executives/coaches/scouts and asked them to rank the best player by position across the NFL. They voted, 24 year-old Garrett Wilson, as the 10th best WR in the NFL!! He’s the 2nd youngest WR in the top 10. He isn’t a “pretty good NFL WR.” He’s an elite young talent on a bad team. Wilson is a great young player. 
 

FWIW, 26 WRs received votes from these NFL employees. None of the 26 were Bills receivers.

That's my opinion Kirby.  I don't find him to be elite.  Those kinds of terms are thrown around way too much in today's game.  

 

The Bills have lacked in gathering talent at the WR position.  And that's on Beane.  However, I just do not see a lot of difference from Wilson to Shakir.  The TD Shakir scored against the Steelers in the playoffs two years ago is as good as it gets running after the catch at the NFL level.  So Wilson is #10 big deal.  Once you are below the top 5 in anything it really doesn't matter.

 

Do you know golf?  Scheffler and Rory are pretty much top 2.  With DeChambeau and Scheuffle not too far back on a given week.  But once you are down to 10-30 its throwing names in a hat my friend.

Massive extension?

 

I'm glad he'll remain employable after his football days are over.

I just fundamentally disagree with these takes. It feels like a way to just make fun of the Jets no matter what they do. Which is very addicting, so I understand. 

 

Thank you for your understanding and allowing us our sport.

I don't see WR's worth 100 mil. Buy I'm old and grouchy. 😁

 

I knew you were grouchy... now I know why.

I just ask because we get very homerish at times. That’s why I used the 70 executives. If you think that they are close, sure. You’re entitled to your opinion. It’s not an opinion shared by coaches/scouts/execs. Shakir went from underrated to overrated on here in 1 year. He’s a role player. A good role player but a role player. If you flipped Wilson for Shakir, straight up, the Bills are a heavy Super Bowl favorite (and probably have at least 1). There’s a difference but we are all entitled to our opinions.

Who says Shakir is overrated ?

 

The Bills didn’t use him correctly for much of last year throwing the behind the line of scrimmage screen pass to him continuously.  
 

Garrett Wilson is good.  Never said he wasn’t.  Just don’t think he is as special as you do.  And he is a pouter/complainer.  Watch what happens when Fields is afraid to throw the ball and looks like a deer in headlights, as he has for much of his career.  Wilson will lose his mind.  Lol
