This is some wizardry or something.

 

I'm watching a Bills preseason game in the 4th quarter for the second time in two weeks. 

 

I don't remember watching and liking so many Bills backups and backups of backups in a long time, maybe ever.

Not sure how you can say he "isnt good at any of them" meanwhile we just extended him. Luckily we havent had to use him a bunch except for goal line scenarios and his blocking has been decent. The thing I think you are missing is having Gilliam suit up allows you to add the additional linemen like Doyle last year to lineup as "extra tight end." But having Gilliam allows you to run a goal line FB, and not need to suit up 3-4 RB's because he can fill in if absolutely needed... unless you think Doyle can be RB3 due to injury. Having a versatile piece like Gilliam is why we could get away with only dressing 1 TE last year. Having him fill 3+ positions allow you the flexibility of sitting or dressing up extra positions as needed for the matchups.

 

Again our team also values special teams and he ALSO fills that role which other guys like Doyle or Duke Johnson wont fill

Except Gilliam is never RB #3.  That was Jones.  You can line up Kyle Williams in the goal line set if you want.  Multiple guys can play that role.  We just disagree on the value of the FB in the NFL.  It's ok we just have different opinions.  And mine doesn't matter because Beane and McD value Gilliam more than I do.

It's a moot point. He was extended and he isn't going anywhere.  But his roster spot has consequences and that consequence is probably one less capable WR.
