Charles Romes Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I nice complementary piece wr3/4. I’m glad he’s finally showing improvement in target percentage. Last year he slumped to 87% but is off to a better start this year. 8/8 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted September 24 Author Share Posted September 24 (edited) 👀 Shameless bump for me and those who also believed, and I don’t even care. He’s a beast. I’ve been saying it since he was drafted, long before I started this thread back in April…this dude just has it. Allen has 100% completion rate on something like his last 34 pass attempts to Shakir. BEAST. Love watching him play. Edited September 24 by Alphadawg7 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchiseneedsme Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 He is/has been amazing.. but can he keep taking this beating? He always takes monster hits hope he holds up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelius Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Are they monster hits though? I feel like part of his skill set is taking them in a way that allows him to shed right off. I wonder if it’s like a top level pad drill for him the way he pinballs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted 8 hours ago Author Share Posted 8 hours ago (edited) Midseason check in and an obligatory shout out to Shakir coming off another excellent game Now back on a 1000+ yard pace again. After setting the NFL record for most targets in a row with a completion already earlier this year (29) he has now caught 50 of his last 52 targets which is just insane efficiency. Despite missing a game, Shakir ranks are: Yards - 21st - 421 yds YAC Yards - 5th - 300 yds Some other ranks: YAC per Rec - 7th - 6.8 yds Catch % - 1st - 94.4% Now factor in the first 3 weeks too: Week 1 - Allen only had 2 pass attempts up until the final 2 min of the first half and finished with 18 completions to 9 different guys. Week 2 - Was the Cook show and offense took a vacation second half with Allen only passing for 140 yards in a blow out win. Week 3 - Josh completes passes to 10 different receivers in another blow out win where offense takes the 2nd half off. So he has missed one game, was limited in another, and the context of the first 3 weeks limited everyones volume opportunities in the offense. And he still has been this good. LFG! He has become one of my absolute favorite players to watch play Edited 8 hours ago by Alphadawg7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nephilim17 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Props to @Alphadawg7 who declared in May 2022 he thinks Shakir could be elite. Guys like Cosell were high on him too though I don't know if anyone said over two years ago he had elite potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Buffalo Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Not sure I am ready to call him "the best WR in the NFL?", but the numbers sure are interesting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperCam Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Considering how much the Bills have been emphasizing the running game, Shakir is having a great season. He can only catch the ball when he’s targeted, and he’s catching those at a historic rate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has become one of my absolute favorite players to watch play Eric Moulds lives in Baltimore and comes to our annual tailgate (he brought a bunch of his football pals one year) and he could not stop speaking how well he listens, trains, etc and this was two years ago. It DOES help for players to have a mentor who teaches a young player to be a professional. 1 hour ago, Nephilim17 said: Props to @Alphadawg7 who declared in May 2022 he thinks Shakir could be elite.

Alphadawg7 Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago 47 minutes ago, NickelCity said: I think the very first response in this thread really said it all, amirite Ha, well I don't disagree with your first post stating he arrived last year, and I certainly am not the only one who believed in Shakir, but most people didn't see it that way. A lot of people felt like he wasn't going to be able to replicate what he was doing without Diggs drawing double teams. There were lots of people all over this board including in this thread, other WR offseason threads, my thread in season about him last year, etc that were either throwing shade at him, doubting him, or limiting his ceiling as more of a role player than anything else. Some common push back items were that they felt he wouldn't be able to get open enough with his short arms, that his efficiency would fall way off with a bigger sample size, etc. Most saw him more as a complimentary piece that would likely struggle without a bonafide WR1 on the field. But this year he has proved all that wrong and really arrived, not as a complimentary role player, but as a goto player who makes plays every time he is called upon. He has shown he has elite hands, elite YAC ability, runs as tough as any WR in the league too. He also blocks well, does all the dirty work, and is completely unselfish. So he still took it up another notch this year and became a bonafide star IMHO 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
