Talley56 Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 Not to play devils advocate but the one he dropped over the middle today was more on Allen than him. Yes it hit his hands but the throw was much higher than it should have been. Zay has definitely been a disappointment but I really think only the elite receivers would have caught that ball.

This is the NFL...if the ball hits you in the hands, you have to catch it or they'll find someone who will. 1
Dadonkadonk Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 He's terrible but is relatively cheap on a rookie deal. He will not be cut. They already need a true #1. Foster is not a number 1. They need a guy with size and speed. They need a guy with a huge catch radius. They will draft a WR high. Or make a trade. No free agent will be worth the money.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 I like when Zay drops a pass and then looks at his hands for 2 min. Go to ***** sports and put on those WR gloves and have someone throw 100 passes to you. I bet you catch 99 out of 100.
nedboy7 Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 I thought he was a clear #1? Man these fans......

If you want to call that the number 3, sure whatever. He has no business facing another team's number 1 corner. While I agree w you that he is a slot, facing another team’s top corner is no excuse for the dropped passes that hit him in the hands and numbers. He has shown improvement this year, but from a very low base. Must become more consistent. Given how he has played so far, I would say his ceiling is Stevie Johnson (can get open and make some plays, drops too many passes, including clutch ones that are catchable). Edit: just reread your comment, I think we are in agreement. Edited December 17, 2018 by Bill Murray

Wow... watch some other NFL offenses. Golladay caught 3 different passes today that were more difficult than anything Zay dropped. Golladay is not elite, just a pretty good NFL receiver.

Golladay literally ripped the ball out of Levi Wallace's hands, and caught another deep pass while White was interfering with him. Zay had a pass hit him in the hands a tiny bit over his head.
peterpan Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 He's a middle of the road 4th or 5th wide receiver.

The one he caught over Wallace went through Wallace’s hands and right into his chest. Both were tough catches yes but I would still say it’s tougher to catch a ball thrown way over your head.

As per my thread, you look a every game and there are difficult catches being made. With the bills even feathering a pass in, they bobble it and it goes to video review. Zay just disappoints week after week.
BlueandRed Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 He drops way too many to be consistent. Worried what he might do if he doesn’t. The guy is a mess.
Success Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 The curve for wide receivers used to be 3 years. He made great strides this year, and big plays. And he is our only receiver who consistently gets open. Let’s not write him off just yet. 1
ProcessTruster Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 the WR position will get fixed in the offseason. Allen will be better throwing the ball next season. Is what it is right now. 2019 Bills = 2018 Bears. rags to riches. Trust the process.
FeelingOnYouboty Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 It’s insane because coming out of East Carolina he broke records for receptions. He had reliable hands. He comes to this level and he immediately has unreliable hands and from Game 1 last year. Really frustrating.
JohnC Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 1 hour ago, HappyDays said: I haven't even seen flashes. I mean he has caught some passes but has he made one next level play? He misses routine plays and hasn't made a single great play. I'm done with him. Be patient and don't make an early judgment. He's certainly struggled especially when he is getting the priority coverage. What I am miffed about is how he is being used? He is more of a slot and underneath receiver. Yet there are too many routes where he is the made to be the deep receiver. He doesn't have the speed and explosion to adequately run those routes. I'm confident that when our offense is upgraded and the qb gains experience he will be a productive receiver for us. Is he going to be anything special? Probably not. But that doesn't mean that he can't be a productive receiver for us. Be patient and encouraging. You will be rewarded.
HOUSE Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 The guy will run naked thru a hotel for this team 2
