And that was a light box for sure. As a receiver out of the backfield though, different story. At this point I will take either. 1
whatdrought Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 I know he’ll probably get 15, 18, 19 or get 10 from Fromm, but dang if this 81 isn’t sexy. #numbersmatter

If Smoke ends up signing somewhere for anywhere near the same as Sanders then it's likely going to be looked at as another Robert Woods type mistake down the road. Unless it was the trainers and docs that felt JB wasn't worth betting on healthwise for some reason, then I get it.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Shanahan on Saunders: I think it illustrates what Beane and the Bills brain trust are probably seeing as gaps in Brown's game that Sanders fills. 1
The Jokeman Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 23 minutes ago, GoBills! said: He seems a better slot guy than brown. So We have Diggs and Davis going deep with Sanders and Beasley running underneath. I personally didn’t want him this year as his 34, rather find some younger talent so I hope it’s in the 4.5-5.5 million range max. Brown wasn't a slot guy here, Beasley is. Brown played on the outside. 1

WR are moving slowly and John Brown isn't making the pundits' lists of top guys still available. I think this past season hurt his value. I don't think this is about $$, it's about having at least two WR who can win against press man coverage. 1 1

DCofNC Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 12 minutes ago, The Jokeman said: Sanders had a 1400 yard receiving year his 5th season. Fuller and Moore haven't topped 1000 yards yet in any given season. Sanders might not be in his athletic prime like Samuels or Fuller but has a better track record IMO. There it is, in his 5th year he did something and it’s been 5 years since he’s broken 1000 yards. Now we have the Bills homers running in to show me that a 10 year vet outperformed a rookie who converted from RB to WR at the NFL level. Oh nooo. You have a speed guy who hasn’t put up jack in terms of YPC vs 2 guys who are just coming into their prime and comparing Fuller to him w Fuller out producing him in 11 games last year.. ohh super star status here. I hate this board, the ratio of rational people to complete Beane homers is 1: 900 4 1

I hate this board, the ratio of rational people to complete Beane homers is 1: 900 Well statistically they have both out performed Sanders in virtually every way since they entered the league vs what he has done in the same time frame. - DCofNC So now I’m the irrational fan for comparing Samuel and Fuller to Sanders since 2017... because I followed YOUR logic to illustrate YOUR point? Genius... you said that Fuller and Samuel outperformed Sanders in every major statistical category since they entered the league... you were just flat out wrong. It was false... you said something and expected nobody to check you on publicly available information? He hasn’t put up jack in terms of YPC... it looks the same as Samuel? So Samuel is a speed guy who hasn’t put up jack in terms of YPC then too? Fuller our produced him in 11 games... why didn’t he play 5 more? Maybe because he’s an actual injury prone player (playing ~50% of possible games in 4 years)? Oh yeah... that’s it. Nobody said Sanders is a superstar... I sure didn’t... but neither are Fuller or Samuel... that’s the point. YOU made the claim that they outperformed him and failed to back it up. The burden of proof is on YOU... you failed to do prove that. It has nothing to do with being a homer, liking Beane, liking this signing and has everything to do with you making an irresponsible post and expecting people to just believe you. If you hate this board because you’re called out for ***** posts... sorry?? You’ve failed to contribute anything substantive in this thread... it doesn’t seem like you’re part of the solution in making this board better... so don’t gripe about anyone else other than yourself.

foreboding Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) I think anyone who dislikes this is nuts. A young, super expensive FA WR is NOT our biggest need right now. But ESanders!?! Here is what I like about the signing: 1. Really, really smart and crafty player, willing to go off schedule with the QB. 2. Can play slot or run deep routes, has the size and thump to beat man coverage 3. No need to bring him up to speed, I guarantee he comes into camp, ready to go. Ready to add to a (now) veteran team ready to win (now). 3. Diggs, Beasley and Sanders are 3 of the slickest route runners in the league. Add in Gabe Davis, who also has these attributes and its gonna be damn near impossible to cover that group. 4. Good price, one year. Perfect. Can you image if we had an RB who could break a tackle or two on his way through the line? Edited March 17, 2021 by foreboding 2 3

The problem is, they can’t beat Drew Bledsoe in a foot race. 1 4 1

Go add a guy in the 5th or 6th that gives you straight line speed and some plus special teams ability and see if he can develop into a route runner / speed option in the future - he won’t want for tutors around here. 1
Bronxbomber21 Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 I wonder if Sanders is going to go back to wearing number 10 ..
Fan in Chicago Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 A couple of years later than I hoped for but glad he is here. He is a vet and will help the offense a lot. Good signing. Now we need a dependable TE and the receiving corps will be one of the top ones in the NFL 1
