 In some alternative universe he would've been a real weapon; the wormhole to that universe is now closed.

Wrong. 

 

He broke the team record for most receptions by ANY rookie in Buffalo Bills history. This includes WRs. Sammy Watkins had held that record.

 

He did also break the team record for single season receptions by any TE (not just rookie).  Pete Metzalaars had held that one. 

 

And if you want to cherry pick his 4 TDs through his first 2 seasons, fine. Coincidentally, that's EXACTLY how many rushing TDs James Cook had in his first two years...now people wanna pay him $15M a season. Funny how things can change in a season.

 

I get it. He dropped the pass to close out the season last year and people have a bad taste in their mouth. It was our last image headed to the off season. And yes, it sucks. But a healthy Kincaid has shown he is able to produce at the position in a manner this team has never had before. 

 

 

You're right about the receptions; I was actually thinking of yards when I responded. He was essentially our second wide receiver that year. Outside of Diggs, the other options were not very good. Gabe Davis never lived up to expectations.

 

The drop in KC was just one play; however, two years of struggling to block and run effective routes is a different story. I hope he breaks out, but right now, he seems like an athlete without a real football position.

I'll agree, he is a bit of a "tweener" WR/TE. But we knew he wasn't a blocker when drafted. He wasn't brought here for that... however I feel like he's been better at that than he was made out to be when drafted. I can't knock him for not doing something well that was known all along. 

 

I think the biggest issue is in his usage. T

He's asked to run routes that are close to the line of scrimmage our out in the short flat way too often.

I was one of those that really liked him in the draft. 

Someone will pick him up.   Chargers are a team that could use more of a pass catching threat at TE. Does KC bring him to back up Kelce? Browns TE is often injured.

I am so tired of this being regurgitated left and right this off season.

 

This is the same guy that set team rookie receiving records just two seasons ago. If he played last year as injured as was talked about it's understandable he had a down year. Let's not suddenly act like the kid is Charles Clay. He does need to stay healthy and take a step forward, granted.  But there are a lot of pages left to be written on him before saying he's a disappointment. He still has the same upside he has coming into last year.

 

Knox is who he is. As you say, good blocker, makes a splash play here and there. His only issue is what the Bills chose to pay him. He does a lot of the little things that don't show up on fantasy sheets, but help the team win on the field. 

 

Fantastic is a decent receiving TE that disappears in a lot of games. He, like Knox are who they are at this stage of their career. And I think Knox is the better overall football player 

I am tired of the entire off season.  It goes on forever.  Feels like its been two years since we last played a game.  

 

Kincaid has been mediocre at best since coming in the league.  He has not dominated one single game he has played in, in two years.  And for a 1st round draft pick that is disappointing.  But I am not ready to say he is a bust.  But everyone has their own opinion on every player for the most part.  There are only very few who everyone think are phenomenal.  And Kincaid aint one of them.  

 

I just want to see him be a difference maker every week.  Scott Chandler was not a great TE.  But he made a lot of big catches, especially TD's for the Bills.  Same with Pete Metzellars and Keith McKeller.  I would not say they were great players.  But they were difference makers for the team in their eras.  Kincaid needs to stop being invisible more than he is a difference maker.
