Based on only last year, he could certainly say that. But what does he have left a year later and over a full season is a real question? And where will Shakir be at in his growth come week 1 is also an unknown. Until Shakir proves it on the field, hard to say Cole is wrong. However, I prefer sticking with the youth and seeing what Shakir can do, or even a rookie if we draft someone to compete for the starting slot WR spot with Shakir. But Cole could still start on many teams IMO this season as a quality slot WR. Quote
WEATHER DOT COM Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 He was the best turd in the turd bowl last year. Congrats, Cole. 2 Quote

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 No reason to not want him back. He should be well rested and still has something in limited action last year. Can’t have too many good WRs on the team. Quote

78thealltimegreat Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 We can argue all we want but many people were telling this front office about the lack of skill talent. They pulled this guy and John Brown out of retirement cause of how bad the position was evaluated Beane has a chance to fix this is in a few days. Let’s see what he does. 1 Quote
DCofNC Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 35 minutes ago, BillsFanForever19 said: He wasn't even the best Slot WR on the team last year. Khalil Shakir just had the McDermott Rookie Training Wheels on. And all one has to do is look at Deonte Harty's explosive playmaking ability and explosiveness in 2021, before he got lost for the year at the beginning of 2022, to know that this take is completely laughable. He was better than Isaiah McKenzie was last season. But Harty and Shakir? Nope. If the Bills brought Cole back, he'd be on the Practice Squad and only activated if there were an injury to Harty or Shakir. Get real Shakira didn’t win the job because he wasn’t good. 1 2 Quote
Aussie Joe Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Can’t really see the harm in bringing him back for camp and see how he goes… He might think he has something to prove .. 1 Quote
BananaB Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Did Gabe and Lil Dirty even combine the 80+ receptions we lost when Beas left. Sure the yards and TDs went down but the completions helps you move chains. 1 Quote
papazoid Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 that ship has sailed.....beasley not the same player shakir is better than beas......and i'm guessing both the new guys will prove to be better 1 Quote

I know what everyone says publicly. Shakir is a fine backup to all 3 positions and that should provide enough snaps for 400-500 yard bulk number type seasons...........he just isn't a good fit as a starter at any of them. Including slot. Everywhere you put him he's short on traits for that position. He's a taint. Maybe he develops some intangibles that elevates him into a starter.........but otherwise he's not in your 1-3 mix. 1 2 Quote

AuntieEm Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 1 hour ago, Dr. Who said: Yep. Some folks on this board don't believe Dorsey will employ 12 personnel. Don't see how anyone can know that. We haven't had two really good TEs on the team to make it feasible. 12 personnel should also be particularly effective in the RZ where the Bills struggled last year. Dorsey was predictable and Josh had a lot of turnovers in the RZ where he had previously been stellar, so I hope it happens. Anyone familiar with dorseys college career did he use his tes alot? Quote
