My god, do you hear that? It’s Gabe Davis’ music!

3 reasons the team is failing. Wowza. Loved them like my old dog but time to let go Fans, HC, GM

 

I can understand saying White. But I don't think the plan was to start him long term and stick with him no matter what though. The injuries to Hairston and Strong forced this.

 

But I'm really lost on why you think Gabe Davis, who is on Practice Squad IR and not so much as taking a PS spot and Jordan Poyer, who is on the Practice Squad and played a total of 18 snaps for us so far are "reasons the team is failing"...

Why stop there, let’s just keep going back.

Let’s bring Doug Whaley back. Hot take alert, but I legit think if he’d drafted Josh, this team would be better off with him at the helm. 

 

I hate to break it to you guys - but he's already on the team. Which is why he's being brought up. I also hate to break it to you and I don't know if you've noticed, but we a.) Have an injured WR in Jordan Palmer that may be on the shelf for some time and b.) Don't have anyone beyond Kincaid and Shakir that can get open with any sort of even small consistency.

 

I'm not saying Gabe Davis is the answer by himself. I'm not saying don't look elsewhere. I actually said in the same post that I'd be on the phone with the Saints to try to add one of their WR's as well.

 

But if he's healthy, he certainly couldn't provide less than guys like Elijah Moore and Tyrell Shavers are. They are absolutely useless.

He's also a little bit different than some of the other "washed" examples in that...

 

Davis is still 26 years old.

Next time we have a decent lead just chuck him a couple deep balls and see if he’s still got it

Another example of Josh Allen being a horrible deep ball thrower.  Could find a few more glaring examples of his terrible deep ball throwing in the 13 seconds game, also.

Josh actually isn’t a great deep ball thrower to be fair. But that’s just all the more reason to get someone who can make it easier for him.

I remember lots of Gabe drops and Gave often zigging when he should have zagged, causing many Josh Interceptions.  
 

Sanders has not yet done any of the above

Agree, for some reason he did it better with John Brown in 2019 and 2020 than since. Doesn't seem to hit guys right in stride very much.

John Brown was also better at locating deep than most speed guys. A lot of guys are fast, not many have the ball skills of Smoke, which made him a special player and not easily replaced.

Sanders? Do you mean Shavers?

 

I'll take the guy who might do that at times, but who's career lows with us were 35 receptions, 549 yards, and 6 TD's - over the guy who's on pace for 14 receptions for 140 yards, with a 50% catch rate. Shavers might not "cause" interceptions - but that's because he's consistently not getting open and consistently not being thrown to because of it. Moore and Shavers are providing us with absolutely nothing. Coleman is providing not a whole lot more, but he's not going anywhere. Samuel is here one second gone the next. And now Palmer is "week to week".

 

Davis isn't going to save us. But he's an upgrade over a number of players we're rolling with right now.

I was never anti-Davis, but I was against offering him any more than around 3yrs / 24 million.

 

He would be the perfect WR4 / WR5 with what we have now. All this is assuming that Palmer might be missing a few games and that he can prove his match fitness.

 

He might be limited in route running but he would be our only genuine deep threat. Add in his pass blocking and it's a no-brainer for me to get him onto the active roster.

 

In any event, this should not preclude us from grabbing an Olave type WR before the trade deadline.

I felt this site was always way too critical of Davis.   He had a few drops, and fans couldn’t get passed that. 
 

He also was extremely clutch at times and very dependable.  Fans forget that.

If he was so good, he would have been rostered before the Bills signed him to the PS … absence makes the heart grow fonder

He’s injured.  I’d be using caution too.

More importantly … He’s not very good, but hey, we pumped up Shavers as our training camp hero and savior too 😂

So...John Brown signed to practice squad?

No one's saying Gabe's a savior. No one's saying elevating Gabe is the only thing we need to do at WR. But if you think, if healthy, he'd provides less than Tyrell Shavers or Elijah Moore - you're crazy.

 

There's a difference between a player who isn't someone you want starting (Gabe) and a player who is giving us absolutely nothing (Shavers, Moore).

 

And as for him not being signed by anyone else until we signed him to the Practice Squad, most teams aren't in the practice of signing players who are injured. They usually visit with the player and check in on their rehab (as the Steelers, Saints, and 49ers did) and circle back when they're ready to play.

Correct. 
 

Gabe has warts but is an NFL player. Shavers very well may be out of the league next year. 
 

2 years ago, we were hopeful we could upgrade on Gabe Davis in the WR room. Now, we are hopeful Gabe can SAVE our WR room. That tells you all you need to know about our WRs

[T master]

I think Gabe could at least give more to the team in production than Moore has, I hope they bring Gabe in after the by and use Moore as a trade to get another player here that can add to the team because to this point Moors has shown me little bit of nothing from the hype they gave him when they signed him .

Colemans also drawing #1 corners more frequently, especially after palmer went out.  I feel like AJ Terrell followed him basically the rest of the game.

Gabe doesn't have the man beater chops of palmer, but he can track deep balls well and finds zone windows well during crossers.  Also always had a knack for sideline plays, and towing the end zone back line.
