Yeah, he probably won’t light the league on fire but by all accounts he was playing really well before he got injured. Could equate to some decent play this season. But thanks for the hot take though. Before you showed up we really thought he was going to go to the hof! Thanks for saving us from ourselves. Also, it nothing like talking about Dez, you know because he’s not a Bill. Thing is , do you devote a roster spot to him ? One of weakest ( some might suggest ) group is WR. Lets let the youth learn the the trade if we are taking calculated risks. BTW i am big Fan of Robs House and i am not trying to bash him whatsoever 1

Pretty sure at one point he hadent dropped a single pass in camp. That's insane. He could be a hidden gem. Hoping he lights it up this year You’re way out of line. Hoping a reciever that showed promise will play well for your team is dumb. 5 minutes ago, 3rdand12 said: Thing is , do you devote a roster spot to him ?

I get trying to see what we’ve got with the young guns but not at the detriment of the development of our new qbs. Edited May 11, 2018 by Bobby Hooks
Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 18 minutes ago, Rob's House said: I know better than to hang my hopes on a guy whose last productive season was 2013, but this guy could be a pleasant surprise. His career looked promising early until the injuries hit. As a rookie he reeled in 39 catches for 584 yds and 3 TDs. He followed it up his sophomore season with 60 catches for 888 yds and 4 TDs. That was with the likes of Terrell Pryor and Matt McGloin throwing to him. His only other healthy season was 2016 with SF where he was relegated to spot duty. That's somewhat concerning since the WRs in front of him were Torrey Smith, Quinton Patton, and Jeremy Kerley. However, he made the most of his 27 targets catching 18 for 191 yds and 2 TDs. Again, it isn't wise to rely on a guy who has basically missed 3 of the last 4 seasons due to injuries, but if by the grace of God he can stay healthy, we might be alright with a guy opposite Benjamin who's 6'3" with 4.4 40 speed who's proven he can produce when given the opportunity. It would be cool if the Bills took a chance and lucked out.

Notice he did not get an extension? and rightly so. was it just last year the Bills WRs seem to all get nicked up ? Or was it the year before ? : )
John from Riverside Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 He is not a number 1....we dont have one of those on the team yet. Hopefully in the 1st round of next year's draft. He DOES fill a need as an outside WR with speed....in a room filled with slot receivers.

He's got to stay on the field, but it's in him.
Hebert19 Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 He will do u til trade deadline when....wait for it...we trade our second for amari Cooper. Gruden is going to want to put his mark I things like McDermott. Write it done. It'll happen.

Cant wait to see if that carries over. Good qb play will go a long way if AJ or Josh can get things going. If reciever continues to be an issue I could see this team pulling the trigger on making another trade ala Benjamin. Also 90 mil in free agency next year will go a long way. Futures so bright I gotta wear shades. yeah, this year is another process year... 2019 will be great

They will have good money for next year's FA but nowhere near 90. Spotrac today: 2019 Cap Space $53,573,817

I sure hope players that have shown promise, will pan out in the future.

I saw you reply to the other poster with some ridiculous nonsense. Called you out on it and I’m “slow on the intake”. Enjoy your day bud Also, I just re-read the OP and from the start I appreciated your opinion and thought you sounded pretty reasonable. The part where you respond to another poster and call it dumb.

I shouldn’t have to explain this, anyone with a half a pea brain knew that was sarcasm and I don’t actually think it’s dumb to hope a player that showed promise will play well. It’s not my fault you don’t understand it. Do all jokes go soaring a thousand miles over your head, or just the sarcastic variety? Enjoy your day, hopefully no one makes any jokes you can’t grasp or you’ll have to get a whole aloe plant. Edited May 12, 2018 by Bobby Hooks
