SoMAn Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 No. Not by the Bills. He’s only under-appreciated by ignorant fans. Gabe will be fine if he’s healthy. Mark my words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he barely runs routes to the outside (corner, out, comeback)? Doesn't seem balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was largely discussed last year as teams knew this and DB’s just prepared themselves for likely one of those 3 routes. I think there was a thread on it Davis needs to be asked to do more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's how he knew to play off Davis once he realized he wasn't the intended target. He ended up with 2 picks that game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark my words. He's been "fine" he just clearly hasn't been as good as the second best offensive weapon of the Chiefs, Bengals or Dolphins........the Bills top 3 concerns in the AFC.......or the NFC's best in Philadelphia and San Francisco. Fine doesn't win shootouts with those teams and the 3 playoff losses to KC and Cinci all had to be shootout wins. Maybe they get lucky and all of those teams defense's are very banged up in the secondary in the playoffs next year or they miss them altogether........but it's hard to envision not having to win 2 or 3 games against those teams while playing with the lesser offensive talent. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis had 6 catches 93 yards and a TD in that game. Guess Peterson didn't know everything. We were up 3 scores with 2:00 left in the third quarter. Bad ball management, bad defense, and fumbling in your own end zone caused that. None of those things had to do with Davis. Davis is as much a decoy as Diggs he's just easier to stop but the cost should be underneath throws which Beasley used to make and Josh used to throw. Josh frequently looked off easier throws and threw deep and I'm guessing it had as much to do with not trusting the guys underneath as it did with over estimating what Davis could do. My guess is a healthy dose of a running game (I still don't trust them to commit to it) and some of our off season additions should address those things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 The fans do. Davis has routinely been a playmaker and made some difficult and clutch catches as a Bill. He'll definitely get a nice payday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marino from Locked on Bills had a good theory...Davis was asked to stay back to block (due to the poor OL) and take the short routes. Davis does not have the slot-guys speed nor step to separate from the DB. Allen could never find Davis for the short throws and went more the longer route. This was even observed by Beane and Schoen during the draft. They found him starting slow and then closing fast....you can imply that Davis has no chance as a slot receiver but has the ability to get consistent separation on the long ball.

Yet only 3 WRs had 10 or more TDs last season. 2 TEs also did this last seaon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
