No it's what happens when keep having 3rd and longs because the opposition is stopping your running game on first downs. This offense is a move the chains type offense but we aren't getting 3-4 yards a play and can't sustain anything.
I went into that draft wanting BTJ or Legette or Mitchell. So I understand your stance. But again if look at his production relative to those drafted around the same taken around he's produced at about the same level. The only exception is McConkey but as other have referenced he's a slot and as I've said in other Coleman topics we weren't in need of a slot at the time. I get people are upset he hasn't become the alpha number 1 we needed but to me all things considered he is as good as his draft colleagues. I use gross stat comparison because I don't have the time to watch the other guys week in and week out to see how they impacting games. Yet will say in games we've played against Worthy and Legette this season. Their play to me was as memorable as Keon's has been which I agree sub par. Yet I'm not one to lament as in spite as bad Keon's personal play has been we are still a top 5 NFL offense. I don't know what more people can expect or feel a top end WR would give us because in this offense we don't require a top end guy.
Keon's played in 3 less games and 40 less targets and has only 54 yards and 1 TD less receiving than Xavier Worthy 2 less games with 23 less targets and 162 more yards and as many TDs as Xavier Legette aka the two picks that he was traded for that and were drafted above him. I'm guessing we should have stayed put and drafted with of them instead?
The problem with this thought is there's no telling that say for instance Diggs gets traded to Philly for their first and then Minnesota snaps Jefferson before us and we're stuck with Jealon Reagor or someone better and/or worse.
I'll admit I was resistant to re-sign him but that was with the talk he wanted $15 million per season. Then the whole hold in thing kind of made me more angry. Though glad our GM and his agent met to a fair deal and let us keep one of the best RBs in the league.
That might not be on your roster after this season. Not sure as quite a few posters, including me, might be upset if we didn't have Walker or Hawes this season.
Come on now McKellar wasn't a guy that could put up 100 yards receiving. He was more of a redzone TD magnet. Shakir is reminiscent of Reed in both play from the slot. Yet Shakir is more jittery. The difference is the current Bills can score in long sustaining drives. See that 8 minute masterpiece we saw against the Chiefs to open the game. Had Kelly and co done that more we could have easily beat the Giants in Super Bowl XXV.
