John Brown ran a 4.34.  Curtis Samuel ran a 4.37.  We need Samuel to get healthy, and then yes, we have speed to take the top off this year

Although I agree a healthy Samuel is direly needed, it hasn’t happened yet and waning in my confidence.  If he really has something he’s masking like the turf toe (if the team knows about it they have to report it and McD plays it straight.  He’s not BB), then shelf him and use PS guys based on the game.  This week, the Colts are vulnerable to the run, so the bigger WR’s would be helpful like Shavers, and more importantly 12 with Kinkaid and Knox.

 

Im sure we can talk about future games later, but maybe if you shut down Samuel now, amd wait him out past the bye, then hope for the best.  If he’s still not good, I’m done with that guy.  The hard part is the Chiefs, SF, amd the Lions all have formidable run games, amd solid defenses.

I agree, I think Samuel's turf toe is worse than anyone is letting on. This organization should've shut him down weeks ago. Now with Coleman and Cooper hurt, we're forced to exacerbate things. I realize we're paying him 24M but it serves no purpose making this situation worse.

Most balls Kincaid hasn't caught have been bad throws or good defensive plays.  Might have had a few drops here and there but I haven't seen this huge drop off.  Shakir might have the best hands in NFL history...currently shattering his own record set last year for highest catch percentage in a season with 45+ targets.

Catch % is such a grossly misused stat.

You have to evaluate it with average depth of target.  Also - the amount of uncatchable targets.  

Y’all are wrong.  It’s a quick and accurate of seeing if a player is doing what needs to be done.  
 

That said, Kincaid also leads the Bills is drops with 6.  No one else is above 3.

I do think catch% is important, and i do think Kincaid needs to be better than he has played so far.  I also think he has been thrown by far the highest number of uncatchable passes.  

 

On the plus side, we all know he's capable of better and the team is 7-2 with him not having played particularly well.

30% uncatchable is admittedly a big number

Same as Keon, but those are some vastly different targets.  It does feel like whenever he dirts one or on any of those low throws have all been going to him too.
