Lurker Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Still waiting for those early E Moulds stats btw Here you go...https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MoulEr00.htm Right now, I'd take EM's rookie performance over Zay's...and Eric only started five games that year.

Hmmm 20 catches for a 1st round pick you're okay with that. No one would be okay with that today. Granted, different era, whatever. What'd he do in his second year? Again, a FIRST round WR. Not a 2nd.
billsfan1960 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I guess Jones will be a better receiver than Moulds per all the experts on this site. Can't wait to see that day. Go Bills.

Go Bills.No one is saying that homie but way to put words in my mouth. All im saying is pump the breaks on the freakout. His pedigree, his college production isnt going to just disappear. And I am no expert, Im just not going to overreact on a 1st year WR struggling over the 1st quarter of the season. Again, y'all are spoiled by that 2014 class and have no long term memory

Emphasis on the 'so far'...Big emphasis on "so far" i agree. So let's let it play out. If at the end of his rookie season he has pathetic numbers talk about it then. Dont talk about it now. That's reactionary BS for fools on this board trying to find something to complain about a 3-1 team. Hit me up after the season and i will gladly eat my words but i still have all faith in zay.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 The NFL is a lot faster than the games at East Carolina State. The wheels in his head are tuning too slowly, but that shold change as the season progresses. A bit of diffence in level of competition: https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/conferences/american/2016.html BTW it was East Carolina University not State
JoPar_v2 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 BTW it was East Carolina University not StateThey can't be bothered with little details while on a witch hunt. And no S**t the competition is different. It's different for any WR coming from any college coming to the NFL. We ain't content to give the kid a HALF a season at this point though. Course these are the same mugs that never played, never coached, etc...
SaviorPeterman Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 If Matthews is out next week and beyond it's time for Jones to start doing something. Can't rely on the defense to keep this up every week because even the greatest defense have bad games at some point.
offyourocker Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Honestly I am feeling pretty positive about Zay. I think he had a bit of a mental hurdle to get over. He is a rookie. Expectation are way too high nowadays since the 2014 we class. But look at one very positive thing. He finds himself open all the time and that is very positive thing.He missed some catches but they will come. A few were also not the greatest of throws.

Because he's had some big plays (zay had one today too) but I havent seen jordan light it up since he's been here. And zay should be be ready to replace his production, one of those guys from that vaunted 2014 class, right away? Again okay. Stupid again. Not thought out but u go with it bud
Domdab99 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 He's getting open...I just think he's pressing too much...he'll come around
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 From what I recall Moulds did OK, but nothing special the first couple of years. Then Flutie showed up and one thing I will give him credit for is he straightened out Moulds, more off the field type things, made him into a professional.

GG Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Check what eric moulds did the first two years here Dropsies were not part of Eric's issues early on

NFL players all put on their big boy pants when they step on the field and can be criticized for less than stellar play, rookie or vet. I've seen enough to know when to criticize and when it is true growing pains and right now, Zay's play is a bit of both...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 2, 2017 Author Posted October 2, 2017 The Bills are really going to need Jones if Matthews has to miss time with the thumb injury. Time to snap out of it kid.
Augie Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Zay dropped one he should have had today. There's no rhythm, but that can come with time and desperation when no one else is available.
bigK14094 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Not impressed with Z........he needs to sit some and get used to the big stage. Streeter, if healthy can be resigned after 6 games I understand. That needs to be the plan imho.
