We ever gonna use Kincaid ?

He’s been an extension of the run game. Quick hitters, chain movers, no real vertical threat so far. If this is what they drafted him to be, they were terribly mistaken. I assume there is only more in the tank to burn for this guy, I’m just not sure when/how that will look. 
 

Through 4 games 

 

15 catches, 99 yards 6.6YPC

 

Forecasted season would be:

 

64 catches, 421 yards

I’m right there with you. Fully expected more. However I understand that with this coaching staff and how they use their rookies I shouldn’t have expected much.

He’s fine.   Could really use a 1st round cornerback rn though 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yes, 63 catches would surpass Kelsey and make him a top 5 all time productive rookie TE .

 

People just need to stop being douche bags and research some NFL history.

Not to mention Kelce didnt even play his rookie season.  Kincaid's catch ratio is over 95%.  Completely agree, people need to calm down.

Plus, maybe LaPorta is good.  Good for him!  Doesn't mean our guy is bad or a disappointment.  He is neither!

No way dude. 4 games and season 1 tells us all we need to know about a player. Remember how much Baker outplayed Josh first quarter of his rookie year, and over the year in general?

 

Well that guy just dumped 9 points on the 2010 NFL Super Bowl Champs today! Still think this is a joke now?!?

This Laporta kid drafted after him is crushing it in Detroit 

 

Id like to see similar things from Kincaid 

I think its due to lack of WR depth in Detroit.  Laporta has got to be second in targets out in Detroit.  I'd say Davis is stealing targets from Kincaid and it's a good problem to have.

 

Love Kincaid, but he might just be a secret weapon to be used when defenses least expect it.  I'm happy to see him develop while Diggs/Davis get the job done.

The Bills may be planning on him being part of the team for years to come. Seems fairly stupid to build your draft strategy around what you plan to do the first four games of the following season.  

 

1st round picks are for immediate contributors. Draft your role players on day 2 and your projects on day 3. 

 

Use your logic for Elam and then come tell me that was a good pick as well.

Turns out we have one in the cupboard.

And he's immediately contributing?

Players aren’t defined after 4 games.  66 catches for 450 yards as a rookie TE while helping the run game and pushes us closer to the Super Bowl is a good thing.  Guy has talent in spades, he isn’t a top 4 target most plays.  The most impressive thing from him right now, he isn’t dropping targets.

 

laporta is having a good start to his career, let’s see where the players and teams are at by the end of the season

 

Yeah I like Kincaid a lot. He's a very good player. It's a usage issue, not a talent issue.

Don't be so obtuse.

He's a starting TE with 15 receptions after 4 games. That's contribution. He's clearly not contributing to your liking, but don't frame it like he's some undressed player getting third team reps. 

[BillMafia716ix]

Kincaid is a good player. He pretty much has made Dawson Knox an afterthought. I expect him to be on the trading block soon. Bills are paying him a lot of money to be a non factor

[newcam2012]

Kincaid is playing well. I think many of our expectations were off. I kind of thought he was going to be used as a WR2 with lots of slot work. I still think he's capable of doing so at a high level. 

 

The Bills offensive game plan is using Kincaid as a TE. He's usually a secondary option for the short passing game. There's really nothing not to like here as far as his performance. He catches the ball and moves well. 

 

This is really more about how the Bills are utilizing Kincaid than his talent. I suspect as the season goes on Dorsey will start implementing more down field passes and quick slants. Honestly, his role on the season isn't bad. Not what we expected I suppose but not bad.

I didn't frame it like that. If that's the standard you are using, then yeah I guess it's a rousing success so far. Congrats!

Lol YOU said first round picks are immediate contributors, not top 5 at their position. Round and round we go but he's contributing!

[schoolhouserock]

Kincaid has not been the liability in-line that I had thought he might be. I think that has contributed to some “regular” TE snaps. Not sure that’s his best use case, but he doesn’t suck at it!

[NickelCity]

I had high expectations for Kincaid and I think he'll live up to them, this season. 

 

Look at our passing attempts per game (25 today?), allens ball distribution, and the running game. Plus being a TE in 12 formation. C'mon folks.

You do know that through 4 games Kincaid is second on the team in receptions right? I would say that is the definition of immediate contributor.

Once again, only Diggs has more receptions. Should we throw to Diggs less and Kincaid more? 
 

He’s the Bills number 2 receiver now and I expect his usage to increase as the year goes on.

 

He won’t over take Gabe for yards but he should be right there in that #2/#3 spot for receptions and targets all year.

And on Ben utilizing personnel - Detroit traded a good RB for a late round pick and then spent pick 12 on a RB, who they refuse to use in place of a JAG free agent signing 

That JAG has 8 touchdowns in 4 games.

If you walked into OBD talking like this, they would laugh you out of the building.

 

The Bills offense is averaging 35 points a game and you want them to average 26.5 like Detroit and change their scheme to beat rookie TE stats?

Is that your "standard"?  Because if it is, it's a pretty myopic one.

 

LOL, rookie TE stats after 4 games.  You're critiquing on a message board and Kincaid is partying at Josh Allen's house celebrating.
