Tyrell Shavers reminds me of John Stallworth....

[Warriorspikes51]

major props to him....he's fought his way to earning a starting role here 

[harmonkillebrew]

Loved Stallworth. Nice comparison

I really think this is a possible special wr. 

 

I do remember reading he was highly recruited but looking at his highlights and it's extremely similar to Stallworth.

 

I know it's a lofty comparison but yesterday was different. 

 

Idk I'm probably wrong but I think there's definitely something there. 

 

His confidence is obvious. He's got that long lanky stride like Stallworth to get deep, but he's quick enough in short areas to create all kinds of problems for dbs. I'm excited 

 

Go bills!

 

 

 

Give me Shavers and Davis any day over Keon. Just don't try tell me Shakir reminds you of Lynn Swann!😂

The coaches must have seen something in Shavers over the past 2.5 years to hang on to him and then roster him this season. If he has worked hard to get to this point, major props to him. And he couldn't have timed his breakout game any better. We are desperate for WR help and if by effort or luck Shavers turns out to be a solid role player, I will feel much more positive about the playoffs. 

 

As for Gabe Davis, it looks like the coaches used him in a specific role and didn't ask him to be the deep threat. Which is perfect. The issues in the past stemmed from him being asked to run routes deep and be situationally aware, which imo he struggles to do. If he can be that guy who keeps getting us first downs in the short to intermediate zone, it will be a win for us.

Shavers is ok especially if can fill the M Hollins role I’d be happy with that  but we still need a legit WR1,  and I’m ok with Davis, he works with Josh but for the most part the WR needs to be reworked.

Shavers has stepped up and done what he has been asked to do, so far.

He deserves a deeper look as the season progresses.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I think Davis gave us something yesterday too. I really want him on the 53. In big spots it was very obvious that Josh trusts him. Might be nice to see an old friend out there after all this time.

I love the divergent views on Shavers.

 

There was that one poster on here in preseason who called Shavers a total “loser.” Now someone else thinks he could be a HOFer!!! 
 

I love this place!

They may have their hand forced before they get the chance to use all the call ups. Lots of teams need WR's and more teams would like to F the Bills over. Now that he's proven he's healthy, someone may try and poach him. Only way to block that is to sign him ourselves.

Gabe can block it too though. Fairly confident he would. Next year is a different story, but knowing this team, and seeing the WR predicament we are in. Hes in great shape to see playing time and meaningful snaps. 

 

Hes not going to find a better place than where hes currently at to rehab his image and show what hes got. Have to imagine Bills have msde it clear to him, and they feel confident hed refuse getting poached!

Do you mean Hall of Famer John Stallworth?  Or is there another one?

[CirclnWagons]

Happy for anyone who can stay on as long as he has and finally earn a spot where he appears to be flourishing but feel good stories don’t count in the W column in the NFL. We still need long term solutions at WR

The coming out party for Shavers was helped tremendously by Keon's benching.  I'm fine with Keon riding the pines until a WR injury forces him back into the lineup.  It will result in more targets to Shavers, which can only be a good thing.  Who knows?  Maybe Keon has played his last down for the Bills?  We can only hope....

[billsfan89]

I still think if this team is going to rely on Shavers and Gabe to really make this WR core work then this is going to be an issue. But the Bills honestly have no choice but to try to make Gabe Davis work in the Mack Hollins role (minus the ST ace upside) which I think he can do that. I also think the Bills can get some production out of Shavers and even Samuel down the field. The Bills just have to try to be willing to throw downfield even if it isn't optimal and lean into what the team has vs. what it should have.

Whoa…  WR1 ?!

John Stallworth from Hamburg.  Works at the gas station.  Nice guy.

[TBBills Fan]

Hey those diggs jerseys can be converted to Shavers jerseys!

[eball]

I will say that Shavers made a tremendous “hands catch” on the Tuddy.  That was impressive; I love to see receivers $natch the ball with their hands rather than have it come into their chests.

 

(hehe…I said $natch)

 

I’d hold off on the Stallworth comparisons for now.
