I've been saying it for a good year.  Tough.  Great hands.  Good route runner.  Not afraid to go over the middle.  And he's great with the YAC.  Reminds me of someone.

Da'Rick Rodgers?

Yep.  Josh finally has what he needs for success.

 

1. Cooper will keep learning the offense and synergy with Josh.
2. Coleman is developing into a deep threat with over 20 yards per catch regardless of talking heads stating he slow.
3. Shakir is a stud slot WR.
4. DK2 will get the job done with Kinkaid as the primary.
5. We now have a legitimate duo running and short passing threat in Cook and Davis.  Ty is also a great depth for us as RB’s always seemed to get dinged up more than many positions.
6. Our O line in advanced stats has us probably the 3rd best line in the league, and certainly helps that Josh evades better than any QB in the league.

 

I agree, the ingredients are there!  J Brady and the offense will be cooking!  It's Beane's job to keep this together.  You need a decent salary for A Cooper and a pretty good salary for Shakir.   Do it!  

 

A llot of the same people who were pounding the table for getting a top tier WR are now hemming and hawing about the price tag of Shakir.  He's a fantastic young, Bills developed WR with great hands and YAC ability (along with fitting the culture).  Do what is necessary to keep him!   We can see this offense has the potential to be among the best in the league.  Keep it together.

Because he caught 2 TDs in a NFL game?

That's more than you and I combined.

I'd say Kahlil will go over 1000 yards three times in his career, if he plays 10 year.  He isn't a 1000-yard guy; he's a guy who, when things fall right, will get 1000 yards.  

 

When the defenses evolve to slow down all this short-yardage passing, I think Kahlil will have trouble getting targets.

Maybe Shakir could be an Allen or a Cobb.  I'd say that's his upside. Those guys were consistent and valuable contributors to their teams.

Many here will think it damning with faint praise but Shakir reminds me a lot of former Bill Robert Woods, now in his 12th NFL season.

 

Both have the ability to line up in the slot or outside (but both are better in the slot), both have the punt return pedigree, similar height and weight, both tough as nails and fearless over the middle, great run after the catch ability and desire to block... the same bent over running style...

 

I mean this as high praise.

Loved Woods.  I don't think Shakir is at that level, but Woods is another guy who's more or less equal to Shakir's upside.
