New Bill - former Lion Quintez Cephus signed (Update: Now released)

[nucci]

Beane does this on purpose so most of you will continue to have something to complain about.

[buffblue]

This feels like 2017 all over again, having to rely on guys like Jordan Matthews and Andre Holmes. At least then we knew we couldn't go anywhere with Tyrod at QB. This seems like such a sad, wasteful approach.

[Roundybout]

If Coleman pans out to his potential none of this will matter. So, there’s that.

So this has to tell us that the Bills viewed Cephus as a better low cost investment than a Day 3 WR?  

Beane clearly had this in the works yesterday and mentioned it in his press conference. 
 

I just don’t get it.

 

After Coleman, Samuel & Shakir, we have JAG’s battling it out for 4-6. 

Literally every team has JAGs battling it out for 4-6.

This fixes everything

 

edit no it doesn't

 

Cephus ran a 4.73 so he’s slower than Coleman .

 

For F sakes 

Oh yeah I'd rather have only sub 4.3 receivers because Miami has been kicking our ass with speed. Oops, wait, they beat us 2 times since JA came into the league (on a dropped TD and a receiver forgetting to step out to set up the game winning FG) and not with any of the current speedsters they have. 

 

Have we ever lost a game and immediately someone points out it's because our receivers run .1 - .4 seconds slower in shorts over an uncontested 40 yard sprint? Mentality plays a way bigger role in wins and losses than how many half steps Xavier Worthy has over Keon Coleman. You need to get over it, dude.

This is 2nd worst though, easily lol

As long as they can catch the ball.

 

Josh is the one QB that can make it all work.

 

I’m not too worried until it becomes worrisome.

 

People are too worked up over the WR position.

 

I have seen teams with terrible WR corps hoist up Lombardi’s in my 6 billion years on earth.

 

Brady’s first SB comes to mind when he had garbage weaponry to work with, for example.

Multiple HoFers on that team though.

Fair”ish”

 

Chiefs WR4 is a recent RD2 Pick in Skyy Moore

 

Bengals WR4 is a recent RD4 Pick in Charlie Jones

 

Jets WR4 is Allen Lazard 

 

Ravens WR4 is Tez Walker 

 

…

Bills WR4 is Mack Hollins

Guess it depends what you think of Hollins.   A lot of other teams have guys with recent draft hope as their WR4.

Appreciate the insight Bobby. 👍 

 

It was a joke referencing the gambling though. 🤣

Tracking.  I do like the 96.5PFF Grade in college on passes over 20 yards in 2019, but that was 5 years ago in NFL, 2 years of IR and a year on bench for the gambling (though I did read he was working hard on his craft (unsure if that is gambling or playing WR) during the suspension.

True, but Brady was the only one on offense.

 

Maybe McDermott and his D need to step up.

[Dat]

Well he was the Captain of his Gamblers anonymous club and poker group, so …..

I think in 2024 even if that DT and S are HoFers it won’t make enough of a difference 

[davefan66]

Not a guy I saw us signing. Especially with the gambling suspension.

 

Had a decent 1st two seasons, averaging just over 15 yards per catch.  Caught 20 and 15 balls.

 

Camp body?

 

I’d expect Beane to make more moves if he feels it’s warranted.  And if we have cap space.

Could be Justin Shorter too. Thats going to be something we have to keep an eye on, because obviously the FO is high on him.

[HappyDays]

Oh my God. It's really going to happen. Mack Hollins is going to be our primary #2 outside WR. That is actually the plan.

[MAJBobby]

There is going to be a fun battle to see who emerges.  There are 3 locks max with Coleman, Shakir and Samuel.  

 

I think from there on out it is a battel for the rest, that group consists of (At this point):

Mack Hollins

KJ Hamler

Andy Isabella

Justin Shorter

Tyrell Shavers

Bryan Thompson

Quintez Cephus

Xavier Johnson Jr (UDFA)

Lawrence Keys (UDFA)

Beane saw Trent Sherfield alligator arms in the divisional round and said, “that’s the kind of ***** this team needs!”

I legitimately keep forgetting he’s on this team, but fair point.

Josh isn’t going to tell anyone to F off.  He’s going to prove this year that his was the bigger reason for Diggs’ success, much like many other receivers that have had their best years playing with Josh.  MVP-caliber season ahead.

allen MVP is a good bet this year. The narrative is already in place.

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Hey!  Robert Foster still kicking around?!?!  There are a few here who would kill to have him back!
