the emphasis in the spring MUST be adding a legit higher tier WR1 and a legit WR2.  Enough is enough.  

 

Be prepared for a tweener DE/LB or a mediocre DB.

My thought is Brady really sucks at using players who actually can play but he makes them look like they can't.

This is a terribly heartless thing to say, but I view guys like him, Samuel, and even Cooks as lottery tickets.  They have shown flashes in the past, will they blossom here?  Who knows.  I'm never mad when we sign them (and I was actually cautiously optimistic about Samuel).  If they don't pan out, it is time to move on.  You don't keep lottery tickets that don't win.

 

Of course, it is a valid argument that we shouldn't be in such desperate straights that our strategy appears to be lottery tickets.

 

The fan in me says...maybe one of them will hit.

When we have Joe Brady, who loves to run wide receiver screens for Shakir, that doesn't work out at all, and he still goes back to that, we have major probs.

The guy had his worst statistical year here. Fine with releasing as he still isn't good but he wasn't the problem.

There has to be something we don't know about Moore.

 

What is there to know? He was the 34th pick in the draft and cut by his original team after two seasons. The Browns have a bad WR group and they also let him go after two seasons. His career is just about done at this point. He'll bounce around training camps and maybe practice squads for another couple of seasons and then the calls will stop coming. He's a small WR with a low catch radius and never developed the nuance necessary for a physically limited player to be successful.

The problem I have is that Moore has been decent pretty much on 2 of the worst teams in the NFL over a long time in the Jets and Browns, playing with revolving trash cans at QB, and you can't figure out how to make him look half as good as he did there with Allen playing QB and a solid team around him?  

 

Gross incompetence on the part of Brady. 

 

Buffalo under Brady...where WR's come to die.

if he was still a good WR he would have found the ball more...   just my opinion

They barely gave him a chance to do anything, unless I'm missing something just watching TV, I don't study film.

If Brady is still with the Bills, why would any top tier WR want to sign with Buffalo?

So apparently Diggs started sucking precisely when Brady took over even tho he tore up the NFL the 11 weeks prior?  The preponderance of the evidence has shown Brady has ZERO idea how to properly utilize WR's effectively.

Sadly he's our 4th highest graded receiver after Shakir, Coleman [who's in the doghouse], and Palmer.  Yikes

Not surprised based on his social media yesterday.  Feel for him.  I think he works hard and was poorly used by the staff

Agree.

 

After the 2nd round of the draft he is who I called for the Bills to bring in. I figured he could get a nice "Josh Allen Bump" and be productive. I didn't take into account the "Joe Brady drop" that would come from his usage in this offense.

I'm assuming Gabe will be added to the 53 this week or next week

 

Shakir

Palmer

Cooks
Shavers  (should be getting more targets but isn't)

Davis

 

Samuel IR?  
Coleman still inactive? 

Shavers is just a guy.  He’s fine.  But the only good game he’s had was because of a TD off a scramble drill.   When he had to win a route in the red zone a few weeks back, he got owned at the line, which delayed his route and screwed up the play. 
 

Our best bet is if Cooks has anything left in the tank and we roll with Cooks, Palmer, Davis and Shakir then hope Kincaid can stay healthy.

 

Cooks and Palmer, theoretically, can separate on routes, Davis is a big body and has chemistry on scramble drills and they use Shakir & Kincaid out of the slot.

Can't wait for Cooks to put up the exact same production as Moore, Samuel and Palmer in this offense under Brady.

Exactly. Because it's kind of weird that Diggs bounced back to being a good WR again in his short time with the Texans and has been back to his normal self, even at his age and coming off the big injury, in New England.

[Billsatlastin2018]

He was paid $2.5 M to catch 9 balls in 9 games!👎🏻

 

It’s simply astonishing how bad Beanbrain’s choices are as GM.

[Dan]

Thoughts?  The FO office needs to hire new scouts that know what to look for in WRs.  Brady needs to watch film of other NFL teams' offenses to figure out how to design routes for them.  Does Samuels use all his down time buddying up to McD and Beane, because I can't figure out why he's still on the team.

[teef]

right before thanksgiving. savages.

[ControllerOfPlanetX]

I guess the phrase “If you can make it in Cleveland, you can make it anywhere” is just another falsehood.

We are talking about a man who took a WR in Diggs that was tearing up the NFL in the 11 weeks prior to him taking over and made him a complete non-factor the rest of the season.  He has ZERO idea how to utilize WR's effectively other than for blocking in the run game.
