Ā Difficult to argue with the list, and think it's strictly player-voted. Ā But yeah to your point, Dion is definitely a team leader/great teammate from various reports.Ā Nice to have a group of young/vet leaders, pretty good balance on both sides of the ball.Ā Another reason I like the Kirksey signing too, he's another leader-type that should help.

But on the flip side, many of those guys regress back to their average once they get paid. Getting a monster year of production, then a 3rd round comp pick, can wind up easing the pain a lot.Ā 1 Quote
DCofNC Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 He works hard, tries hard, and doesnāt act like a B word, so of the WRs, he makes sense. Ā That said, being a captain doesnāt mean you are good. 1 Quote

mjd1001 Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 I would like to see him have a big bounce-back year and I think he will compared to last year. Resign him. Quote

Davis was 11th in the league in yards amongst WR 2, Tied for 5th in WR2 TD in the league. Add in those 9 drops and I bet he's well over 1K yards and a TD or 2 as well. I expect him to be a force this season. Quote

Ā He also averaged over 9 yards per target.Ā Ā Yes he has to clean up some of his drops, but I'm not sure if those 7 drops had nearly as significant a negative impact as his 35 receptions for first downs.Ā Ā I'd be perfectly happy if some combination of Davis, Knox, Cook and Kincaid amount to 3 or 4 #3 type targets around 65-75 each.Ā Ā But if Gabe improves 3-4% from his first two seasons in catch percentage, I won't fault the Bills for giving the clear #2 number targets, around 100...Ā Ā I'm happy with 58 reactions on 100 targets, over 850 yards, over 30 1st downs, over 7 TD's and less than 7 drops.

Internal trash talker makes me think he doesn't trash talk someone but you can just see in his eyes that he's just thinking the most terrible things about you. Quote

But a few comments that he's recently made - like listening to his mother tell him, "You're living the dream. Don't get caught up in the money" - suggest that he might be amenable to a team-friendly contract. Remember a few years ago when we had three key players whose contracts were up and most of us (myself included) thought Beane would only re-sign one. Well, all three signed. This year, many of us thought Poyer was Miami-bound, but he's back. Ā Gabe seems happy, the team is a contender, and he may realize that he's not a #1 but a solid #2 opposite Diggs. Let's hope his mom keeps him humble. Ā Ā Edited August 31, 2023 by WhoTom 2 Quote
BADOLBILZ Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Ā He's a hard working overachiever and a good guy...........I don't see any problem with it. Ā Has nothing to do with the fact that he lacks the talent to get open on most routes and has bad hands. Ā He doesn't insist they throw the ball to him.........it's on the organization to find ways to put him in better position to succeed..........which is as the clear WR3 or WR4 option. Ā Ā Quote
