Coleman is doing it all.

Whatever hot shot CB the opposing team puts on Coleman- Coleman is going to plow them into the bench.  Coleman is going to beat up whomever they line up across from him

Ramsey/Fuller is a great test. Will be interesting to see who they put on him. I would think Ramsey personally after Cooper’s last outing but you never know. 
 

If it’s Kohou they’re screwed 😂

I’ll jump in. I don’t recall being down on Coleman, per se, but rather frustrated that we didn’t take Worthy to pair his A+ speed with Allen’s A+ arm strength. I would still love to see a true top flight deep threat on the team, but I’m very happy with Coleman’s progress.

I just think Keon does it in different ways.   Ya have to ignore his 40 time.. its why WR's skip the 40 time lately.  Cause one bad day moves then a day behind. Coleman is sneaky quick.

I thought he was a poor man’s Gabe Davis and we killed ourselves letting KC draft worthy who is way better than Keon. 

I didn’t like the pick either. I was wrong.

I liked the pick I don’t proclaim to be an expert but for every worthy type player many of them get hurt or don’t work out after 3 years. Big body WRs always have a place in the red zone and when in press coverage.

Yeah I think you are giving Gabe too much credit.   His hands are really, really bad.   It's not yips or anything like that he just has hard hands......which is a failure of hand-eye coordination where an athlete just can't make the very subtle adjustments needed to quiet and control a fast moving ball.   If you are a good HS athlete in the US you usually play 3 consecutive seasons of sports where you need soft hands to be a good skill player.  How Gabe made it thru the cracks with that deficiency is a mystery(although generally speaking, participation in football is low).........but that's why Gabe throws his hands or claps at the ball,  he has to make a broad movement to compensate for not being able to make the slightest of adjustments.  

 

Subsequently, there just isn't anything Gabe Davis can do with late hands or in a 50/50 situation.   Which, of course, is particularly important when you aren't a natural separator and that really lowers his ceiling.   Gabe was always best suited as a WR3 or a specialist.  

 

I don't think there is any one quality that Coleman has to prove he's not terrible at the way Gabe did.   I'm not going to get carried away with him having some good games in this soft spot of the schedule but I think he's really answered some questions about what he's capable of.   

 

Where do I say anything that argues otherwise? Coleman's ceiling is clearly higher than Gabe's. We saw Gabe's ceiling here - he is what he is. I don't disagree at all that he has is not a natural catcher of the football, he has snatchy hands and he drops way too many balls. 

 

But my point is I always saw Coleman as an upgrade at that role in the offense. The bigger body guy who isn't a natural separator, who - certainly on the outside - is going to need to win with leverage and body control and they also had the similarity that coming into the league their release packages needed work. I said it on draft night, 40 time be damned, I think Coleman is quicker than Gabe. He certainly has better hands. And he is more versatile and a much bigger threat after the catch (which I personally felt was his best attribute on film). That isn't giving Gabe some credit he isn't due. The Bills tried to make Gabe a full time, barely comes off the field #2, that wasn't me. He failed at it and everyone knew we were in need of an upgrade at that spot. To me it was always more comfortable to see Keon as that. The Gabe Davis upgrade we all knew we needed.

 

It is why I like the Cooper trade so much. Part of the issue for me coming into the year was I felt like they were essentially asking everyone to play up a spot. They almost had Keon trying to replace Stef Diggs and Mack Hollins trying to replace Gabe. Now with Coop in the fold and Keon breaking out, plus Shakir continuing to play at a high level in the slot I think there is a legit case that the starting wide receiver situation they have right now, today, is better than the one they had last season.
