Not a good look at all perception-wise, but he's not wrong. He's the best player on the field and needs the ball.[/quote

 

Best player on the field needs to be on the darn field. He can just shut up until he shows he can last more than three games w/o getting hurt. Maybe he should get Andre Reed to train him cause whoever is doing it now isn't getting very good results.

I do believe the offense needs to be opened up a bit more. I understand that we have had a lot of injuries to key players, but we do have an outstanding group of weapons on offense here. Let's go G-Ro. :thumbsup:

Assuming he plays this week, he'll have played in 20 out of the 22 games the Bills have had since he arrived. That's the same number of games as Mike Evans (who has missed 2 games) two more than OBJ (4 games missed), and four more than both Kelvin Benjamin (5 games missed) and Brandon Cooks (6 games missed). Those are the other first round WRs in his draft class.

 

Basically, players in the NFL get hurt. A lot. Look at his playing time in context. The idea that he doesn't play as much as other WRs is an absolute myth.

Fine but GET YOURSELF ONTO THE FIELD.

 

Can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket.

This... I have no problem with him speaking up for himself. Should he have kept it in house? Probably, but you can't get more targets if you can't be on the field. That's my biggest issue. The timing of this isn't good when he's missed the last 2 games and may miss this week too.

See above.

I agree with what you said. I'm speaking only to the last few weeks. If he's going to be back in this week and is wanting the ball now then good on him. But when you've sat out the last 2 games and may not play this week it's an odd time to come out to the media complaining of not getting the targets. I love the kid, and I know he's played while not being 100% where others may not have. Like I said, I'm only talking about the situation over the last few weeks.

The timing is indeed weird, but as I said above, he's both young and not a genius. I don't think it's a big issue.

Yeah the timing is weird.
