Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Bills got 2 starting WR's and a TE for the cost of Antonio Brown. I think these moves will help Allen develop better Imo 3 1

His production trailed off with Flacco. The fans, local radio, all talked about him fizzling. Nothing to do with Jackson. And I’m on my phone. Is that a key pad? Expand Funchess is an outside WR and John Brown is a slot WR, the way i see a WR is as good as his QB, did John brown fizzle or Flacco? My guess is Flacco since he was a healthy bench for a rookie QB imo.

Expand He probably also figured Daboll > Roman. Everyone knows Roman can design run plays like nobody's business but one of his shortcomings is his passing attack. He employs very elementary routes and concepts that aren't very difficult to defend. I can't think of one team Roman has coached that's had a WR go for 1000 yards in a season. He runs the ball, runs it again and then runs it some more. Usually ranks dead last in passing attempts wherever he goes. Brown recognized this and also sees that they have a QB who Roman will more than likely design run plays for. He sees Buffalo utilizing a downfield passing attack led by Captain Laserbeam and says, yeah I should've signed here last year, better late than never. 1

I was more pointing out that it wasn’t because of Jackson that his numbers fell off Expand I agree, the team was heading south before Flacco got hurt.
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Guy's been a-moulderin' in the grave for years, and he's still an upgrade to our WR corpse. Glory Hallelujah! The Bills go marching on.

Yep will make more of an impact to Allen than Morse will (there I said it) and I do like the Morse Signing too Expand I love this signing. Really wanted the Bills to get him last year. More Speed! Keep 'em coming Beane!

He's a lot like Goodwin but hopefully a little more durable. Has had his share of injuries but also knocked out a 1000 yard season with Zona. The guy can play for sure, I picked him up in fantasy last year and watched him for a few games. Isn't just a go route guy, had a great hitch thing going with Flacco. If you're playing a cover 2 defense and you put him and foster opposite watch the seams open down the middle. CB's can't run with either one of these dudes. Even though he's little, to me he's very impressive at contested catches, which Goody never was. He'll love Josh's ball , Flacco throws a rocket when he needs to.
MrEpsYtown Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Yeah I don't love this one. But I understand the process and the idea that all of this speed on the field kills. I think this is an overpay for a guy who is similar in skill and age to Deonte Thompson. He's been more productive, but I don't love this one. But with Josh Allen's skillset, as many have said, it makes a lot of sense. I want to wait on guarantees and such before I judge it fully. The fact that he turned us down last year annoys me a bit.

Hopefully 1 day he'll become that QB. Expand Are Brown and Beasely much better than Foster and Jones. I actually believe that Foster and Jones have more upside than the 2 guys we just spent a boat load of money for. Allen would really benefit from a #1 who opens get open and helps the 2nd and 3rd WR run free.
Jasovon Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Love this move, wanted Humphries as well but Brown is an excellent WR and will do very well with Allen.
Big Blitz Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) We have had Sammy, Jordan Matthews, Kelvin Benjamin, and now John Brown from the great WR class of 2014. Time to come full circle.... #OBJ Edited March 12, 2019 by Big Blitz 2
