There is no comparison between Josh Reed and Shakir. Reed was a very limited WR physically and never hit 600 yards in a season, never caught more than 71% of his passes. I get what you’re trying to say though. Shakir’s ceiling remains to be seen, but it could be higher than we all anticipated. At the very least Shakir should be the starting slot WR next year and Allen’s 3rd passing option.

Definitely, we saw it with Gabe. Showed flashes, but couldn’t step up with an increased role. It’s nice to see the areas that we needed Davis to step up in (catch rate, drops, INTs when targeted) are Shakirs best qualities. If the Bills wheeled him out on 2 WR sets opposite of Diggs, I wouldn’t be shocked if a WR someplace between Sherfield and Davis was brought in that could challenge the defenses vertically. If Sherfield showed better hands, I would’ve said he was a shoe in that role in 2024.

Now that the dust has settled, I’ve really looked at the statistical production of some of our guys. I knew Shakir had a good year, then I really looked at his production. He had a PHENOMENAL year. 39 catches and 2 TDs are decent numbers for a ‘#3 WR,’ but can we talk about his 86% catch rate? That is outstanding. Caught 10 of 12 in the playoffs for 2 more TDs as well. 282 Yards after catch? Love it. 15+ yards per reception. 133 QBR when targeted. Ready for this? 45 targets. Zero interceptions when Allen looked his way. 57 targets when you add in the postseason. Still zero INTS. Fifty Seven targets. Zero drops. Zero. ZERO. Bills were in the bottom of the drop statistic this season. I don’t think Shakir should come off the field. He’s the slot WR and should be the #2 WR target. I’d love data on if he lined up outside when the team went to 2 WR sets after Gabe’s injury, or if he came off the field. Shakir has shown BIG TIME potential, and it’s the little things that hint to it. Thoughts? 🦬

Kyle Williams had done flat out dominate seasons, I think it has to be him. Physically gifted wise, Mario Williams or Marcel Dareus.

That is a 100% guess.

Maybe? 2022 best in the NFL, 2023 very mediocre. How much of Bass’ issues lie at the fault of Smiley?

Now THAT is quite the range 😂🤣

He’s done after 2024, we all know it. Let’s not pretend he’s Chan Gailey or Dick Jaydon out there.

He’s 78-47.

Im pretty sure only Seahawks and Commanders jobs are still open.

He was the passing game coordinator I believe, for a team that passed extremely efficiently and broke every NCAA record. They’ll leak as they happen, we have to wait…

There are definitely books I’d totally read again, you miss things. First Law Trilogy is phenomenal, I’ll probably re-read Fellowship of the King. There are just sooooo many I’ve never checked out, it’s hard to go back and re-read something. Shadow of the Gods and Hunger of the Gods are absolutely phenomenal.

Dude I’m reading The Hobbit, and have read 3 of the Witcher books. Best two books I read last year were basically about a Viking clan with superpowers fighting a giant Wolf-God. I’m 35. As long as you enjoy it, it’s good reading!!

One low key interesting storyline to the OC/DC search. McD may be hiring his successor, could that impact who he hires? Frank Reich and Eric Washington aren’t replacing him…

I think the failure bar is very high for McD as well. I can see a situation where the OC we hire this year will be the HC we look to hire next year.

Kliff got his shot too early in his career, I won’t judge him based off his first run in Arizona.

Love it, it’s also very interesting to see what other people are into, best way to expand the horizons! Bonus points for Goodreads, I love that App.

Input from your QB is a bad thing? You fit the scheme to the players, not the other way around. Bills offensive scheme will be vastly different in 2024, the DaBoll style is officially gone (not that it was a bad offense)

I said this in another post: Joe Brady ran a Ken Dorsey modified version of Brian DaBoll’s offense. If Brady gets the job he’ll do his own thing, which is what Dorsey should have done.

I also don’t think it’s a stretch to say, barring any additions to the team trophy case, 2024 is McD’s final season. Anyone who wants to be a HC will want to be the OC here, and that’s honestly the type I hope we look for.

I don’t think Josh threw 18 picks because he was in his comfort zone, I think the opposite is true. My biggest concerns with Brady are the lack of production from everyone but Shakir and Kincaid, and the steep decline in playaction, which unlocks a whole level of elite Josh Allen play.

I do love how this “NO JOE BRADY” narrative is now going around given that A) it should be Joe Brady and B) it very likely will be Joe Brady. The complain train is playing chess while we all play checkers.

Joe Brady would be a different playbook. He ran the offense that Ken Dorsey installed last summer.

Did great things at the college level, went to Carolina where his QBs were Sam Darnold and Old Cam Newton and was fired after a year and a half.

OC for the Bills is actually a REALLY good spot. I think guys will come out of the woodwork.
