I'm really starting to love this WR room. We quietly got better

[Bills!Win!]

I still can’t believe we went into last year with Sherfield and Harty. What were we thinking?

Did you ever consider they were just trying to piss people off???    

 

Because it seemed to work.

Shame on me.  I hate to admit this because it won't help my credibility but I thought Harty was a better version of Lil' Dirty and Sherfield was going to take some playing time away from Gabe, who I was losing faith in.

 

We're supposed to get wiser as we get older but that was one of my worst offseason takes ever.

Depends on how many WRs they keep.  If we're saying Coleman, Samuel, Shakir, Hollins and Shavers are the top-5, they could opt to keep a 6th and that could be MVS.  And there's always the PS if he's willing to go there.

 

 

If Hollins, and Shavers are above MVS on the depth chart, I can't imagine what kind of value he would have. In a competition for a #6WR, I'd think they'd be looking for someone who a) played ST, b) would be seen as a younger developmental prospect, and c) could fill a more unique role. MVS doesn't offer any of that, and he'd be pretty redundant behind Coleman/Hollins/Shavers. And literally every other WR on the roster offers at least one of a, b, or c.

Still can’t believe the amount of people on this board that thought they’d work out. Still can’t believe this coaching staff had them both playing more then Shakir early on in the season

It's even crazier that they got more playing time over Shakir before Brady. Smh

lol just said this about Shakir.. Unbelievable,  thank God Brady immediately fixed that..

I was actually optimistic about Harty, thought he could've had a John Brown type impact

Hopeful -ism is also a burden. I suggest that is your affliction

Could be worser things

Noone posting at TBD has all the correct answers. If it were an exact science where would the fun be in discussing and hoping and conjecturing.

 

You owe Noone an apology of any kind. 

 

homerism is a disease but for diehards like us there is no cure amigo. Buckle up 🙂 GO BILLS

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

Look, if there was an option for a straight up, no salary implication swap of the back end of the current WR group fighting for a spot and a 2020 Stephon Diggs I'd be an idiot not to take it.

 

But they're not scrubs. A talented WR will be left off the final roster. I might wish it was more top heavy but it's something.

 

(Coleman is looking like a stud though)

I wasn’t excited about Sherfield but he looked like a contributor. I was excited about what Harty might do but it didn’t work out and I believe we paid him quite a bit of money 💰

Shakir👀👀

Know he didn't have many targets but still extremely impressive.  Dudes a stud

I liked Sherfield. I still can't figure out why he sucked so bad.

I believe that Harty got around 5M.

Both he and Harty looked much worse in Buffalo than they did in their previous stops. Not sure what happened but it was definitely disappointing. Not that they were going to be world beaters or anything but they definitely underwhelmed.

I was inclined to blame Dorsey's scheme and playcalling... but the light didn't turn on for either when Brady took over.

Harty never seemed to grasp the offense, and Sherfield never seemed to grasp... the ball.

I felt like he was constantly mugged and they never called anything.

Buffalo doesn't make the playoffs if they don't score TDs against Miami though 🙂

Beane was thinking that Harty, based on his 2021 NOR season, was an upgrade to McKenzie.   Which, the 2021 version of Harty looked to be.  But the guy looked slower than molasses and I don't think Dorsey understood how to use him effectively (either of them, actually).  

 

Sherfield was supposed to be the upgrade replacement for Kumerow, an ST guy who can play receiver in a pinch.  On ST, Check.  As a receiver, due to whatever was going on with Diggs, he turned out to be a Big Pinch, location of pinch left as an exercise for the reader.

Harty may not have recovered from the foot injury that kept him out of 2022 - he did NOT look fast.  Sherfield did what he was signed to do on ST and as a blocking WR, but he was asked to fill a different role in B'lo than Miami, where he was #3 behind #1A Hill and #1B Waddle.  The Bills asked him to substitute for Diggs.  News flash, he couldn't.

I mean....clearly Beane thought the same thing about Harty vs Lil' Dirty, and he makes the Big Bucks to do those evaluations, so I don't think you should fault yourself much.  I didn't think Sherfield was going to take playing time from Gabe - and I don't think Beane did either - but I believe Beane thought as a backup WR, he'd be an upgrade to Kumerow etc., and that didn't work out.

 

FWIW I thought the same, because based on film available from 2021 it looked that way for Harty, and looked like Sherfield could actually play as a low-level starter.  Bad takes for 2, please.
