wjag Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Liked him when he played for the Phins. Lost track of him on the Texans. Could be a deep threat decoy to open routes for others. Edited December 30, 2020 by wjag 1
JoshAllenReceipts Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Excellent move. Gabe Davis is awful. Never gets open unless it's a blown coverage. He creates zero separation vs man coverage. The fumble and the lack of effort vs the Pats was the cherry on top. Can't trust this bad rookie in playoff games. Stills is a huge upgrade as an outside WR over Davis. 1
YoloinOhio Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 7 minutes ago, whatdrought said: The most critical aspect of this, is that there isn’t a single number between 10-19 available... which means he’ll be in the 80’s by default which will automatically make him our best reciever! This is your thing now. I respect it.

Stills is a huge upgrade as an outside WR over Davis. Really can’t trust Davis. He’s been decent as a rookie but only if he’s schemed wide open. Did have that nice TD catch vs Miami. But he’s no go to guy. 1 minute ago, whatdrought said: It is. It always has been. I think it’s @Logic that’s there with me on it. Kumerow looked so sweet in 87.

Read the post directly above yours, agreeing with what I said. YOU don't watch the games. Gabe Davis is the weakest link on the Bills offense. Edited December 30, 2020 by JoshAllenReceipts
MAJBobby Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 This is about adding a player that can greatly add do WR Depth as well as ST and speed. this is about a run to the SuperBowl. Get weapons that’s help that run. If this signing happens I love it. 2

Stills >>> Davis. This is obvious. Why are we even arguing this?
Magox Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 It’s just about making your team better. Does adding Stills make this is a better team? I think it does. 4
Buddo Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 We could just view this as another aspect of the 'continuous improvement' mantra. Does Stills make our roster better? Very probably. Make the move. 1 minute ago, Magox said: It’s just about making your team better. Does adding Stills make this is a better team? I think it does. Beat me to it. Half of the problem is that we are so used to second guessing moves, we might not see the bit that is right in front of us. While much of what has been discussed has validity, I would still say that when the decision gets made, 'does he make our roster better' will be very high on the list. 3

Why are we even arguing this? I would hope so. He’s a vet and this is his 4th team now I think. He should be more seasoned than a rookie. Point was Stills is not that good that’s why he doesn’t stick places. Davis has as good of stats almost as Stills has ever had in his rookie year. I’m happy for the signing and emergency depth. He can be a useful deep threat or decoy but I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t see a playoff snap either even if we have injuries

Don’t get me wrong, I like Davis’s potential and he’s exceeded my expectations as a 4th round rookie this year but I think he benefits from the coverage the other guys draw. If the bills are left with him all of a sudden as WR2 I think the whole passing game will be negatively impacted. Maybe he becomes that in time but right now he’s most effective as WR 4 and the Bills are adding insurance to make sure it stays that way 4 2

He is left 1on1 the whole game. Nobody is worried about Davis. Davis puts up numbers simply because he plays so many snaps in an elite Passing Offense. Any WR left 1on1 as often as Davis in THIS particular offense is going to put up some numbers.

Davis just doesn't do much on the outside. All his damage is done when he can play from the slot and get lost with a crowd of people and end up wide open. He's just not very shifty or a good route runner. 2
MAJBobby Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Diggs, Brown, Stills (slot) is just as Dangerous as Diggs, Brown and Beasley in the slot. a different dangerous but still dangerous. you have the route runner Diggs. And now add a different element of Speed in the slot. I really like it. And think Stills will bring major value in the playoffs and future (if it is more than a 1 year deal). 1
Straight Hucklebuck Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 A veteran WR with some timed speed and some youth left (28 years old). He always seems to have some injury so I’m not sure how much of that 4.38 speed he has left.

He’s produced when called upon and exceeded expectations. You can’t ask much more from a 4th round rookie. Adding veteran depth is never a bad idea.
