Fountain was an absolute terror in the East West game and it is dumb that he is sitting on a practice squad and not on an active roster. Expand There might be something more there to why they don't want him. Is he super douchey? And Allen gets douchey when he's around him?

Think how many times Gentry caught an Allen throw in their time together. His hands are probably trained to do it. He is used to the power and he probably knows not to quit on his routes and where to be on a scramble. Get him on the active roster and see if there is any chemistry there to exploit at this level. Logically there must be something there to justify the experiment. Gentry is 6'2' 200+ so he is not small. Expand Yeah the chemistry is what i was thinking of. Similar to deonte Thompson and tyrod or fitz and stevie johnson. Gentry made some nice catches in the college highlight reels of Allen and the Bills are officially in a youth movement it seems to make sense to me.
Buffalo716 Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Brandon Reilly is like a faster version and we cut him and never looked back you can find a guy like him every year UDFA
jlgarsh Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Matt Moore wasn't a bad suggestion at the time. Now, I hope Barkley sticks around as Allen's backup. It's the first time in ages we have a backup that could actually come in and play. He's no superstar, but good enough to run the offense. 1

I would imagine if ANYONE knows how to capitalize on a Josh Allen scramble drill it would be Gentry

Rad Likes The Bills Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Guys... he has been on the bears Practice squad for TWO years. If he was worth anything he would’ve been signed by now. The bears aren’t exactly loaded at WR either.

I wasn’t here to slob some Gentry knob. My post was in response to “what does Gentry have over Reilly.” Which I believe my points are still applicable. I never said Gentry was some god send.

Plus if it was just about speed, we have foster, Ray-Ray, McKenzie. We need more of a possession type, or scramble drill type. Our speed is fine tbh. personally I don’t care if we sign Gentry. I do however think it’s interesting strictly from the Allen connection and knowing to work with Allen’s scrambling ability

PIZ Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Why not? Sign Gentry or Fountain and give them 4 games to prove themselves. 1

And calling someone who you never heard of until today super douchey leads me back to you being the douche. And Gentry was at his best when Allen was scrambling. And there are some great hall of famers who didn't have a good 40 time as receivers. But they did run excellent routes and had great hands. Another ec Wyoming receiver the Bills should look at is Jacob Hollister at tight end. He is on the Patriots roster. Bellicek made room for him on the roster. And we all know how poor his judgement is on tight ends. So that would be one more person they could pick up that Allen could us. If they could pry him away from the Patriots. But all of the smart fans on here know better. Too funny.

Perhaps it's a Marquise Goodwin situation and he needs to see the clowning dream out before he can be all in on professional football? Just asking questions in this thread.
