....lybob Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 I think Mike Wallace is a scary WR but he has to be with a QB who can really go deep and even then his man benefit is to make defenses respect you deep rather than purely production. So if we keep Fitz I say no to Wallace.
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 TJ Graham doesnt coun't? an the great Marcus Easley???
SBUffalo Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 As you can see by my avatar, I'm a big time fan of Justin Hunter out of Tennessee. I really like him and Terrance Williams. However, I do think we'd be better off signing Bowe or Jennings if we can.
Nitro Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 No diva WR please. Tall WR with good hands and decent speed. That would afford Stevie Johnson to be a slot WR, Jones as the third WR and TJ as the deep theat fourth WR. Disciplined route running and a QB who can get you the ball will do wonders for the passing attack. The Bills currently do neither well.
TheOldBill12 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 I think Greg Jennings is the best talent out him, wallace, and bowe. Only question is his recent injuries but when he is healthy he is easily a top 10 WR in the league who can "put the team on his back". He easily has the most skill run great routes, great hands, experienced vet, does all he can to play for the ball when it is on the air/basically has the playmaker trait. Bowe is also the most physical big receiver of the 3 but his hands/work ethic is questionable. Wallace is the most youngest and the fastest, he's a huge deep threat but will we have the QB to go deep to him next year? I'm also 100% sure Miami will get 1 of these 3 so the FO should decide who to go for soon.
djp14150 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Wallace is out...not worth the price tag he wants. Buffalo has proven it has the inability to throw deep balls which is what Wallace only does. Welker doesnt solve the problem of speed and deep threat. I would just go after Fitzgerald.... take a shot in UFAs...I wouldnt draft a WR in 1st or 2nd.

Um I would rather pay wallace 11 mil then start throwing picks away for a 30 year old with a ridiculous contract. If we do have problems with speed/deep threat like you said why wouldn't you get wallace. And wallace doesn't just always go deep if you actually believe that. Then there is also jennings/bowe
CarolinaBill Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 my vote goes to the WVU Duo of either Tavon Austin of Stedman Bailey. While neither has "elite" size, both of them have the speed, hands and courage to go over the middle or stretch the field. In terms of NFL comparisons, Austin reminds me of Steve Smith (Carolina) and Bailey compares well to a faster Chad Johnson in his prime.
Jerry Jabber Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) TJ Graham doesnt coun't? Forgot about him, maybe because his performance on the field this year (as well as most of the team) has been forgettable!! Edited December 26, 2012 by Jerry Jabber
8-8 Forever? Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Typical bills fan logic. Mike Wallace struggled playing for a good team that's well coached. Maybe he'll do better here where we have crap at QB and a coach that doesn't know his ass from his elbow. Not to mention he was looking for a contract similar to Megatron which is laughable. And we give up a high 1st round pick? Makes sense. +1. typical thoughtless Bills fan. if you've heard of him, give up the franchise to get him so you can say you have him.... Lets solve the QB problem next year to the exclusion of all other problems please. If we can just do that, the rest becomes much much easier.

Kipers Hair Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 I advocated for going after Mike Wallace and would have given up 2013 #1 for him before the season started. He has struggled this year as has most of the Steelers offensive unit. Now maybe he can be had on the open market this off-season. At this point I would rather get Bowe from Kansas City. I would rather they go veteran WR and rookie LB than the other way around. Thoughts... Obtaining a stud wide receiver with Fitzpatrick doling out the ball would be like giving a nice loin of sushimi grade toro to me to prepare...simply a waste in the hands of the untrained. Let's focus our efforts in hiring a new chef before we obtain only the finest ingredients.
John from Riverside Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 because TJ is a Lee Evans clone? And our QB cant get him the ball?
