Dalton Kincaid- why so underwhelming this season?

[Pete]

Where are the mismatches?  Where are the big plays?  Why are you not clicking with Josh?  Is Brady to blame?  Opposing TEs continually find soft spots in our coverage, and catch large chunk plays, game after game.  Why can't Kincaid?

 

9 different Bills have had most receiving yards in a game.  Kincaid has 0.

 

We know Kincaid has mitts, and he looks smooth sometimes.  Hes got size, and some speed.  Knox is a much more complete TE, yet Kincaid still struggles

 

Will Kincaid make any big plays against KC?

 

I like Dalton, and I am rooting for him.  But Im perplexed why he is so underwhelming.

 

Thoughts?

 

GO BILLS!

He made that flat out drop on the sliding catch that cost us the drive on the opening second half drive. That was it for him.

I had hopes,but ...

[947]

We only threw 22 times, and the Ravens flooded the middle of the field to take that away. I'd have liked to see Kincaid run some seams, but I think better days are ahead for him.

If I had to guess, he is just not the first option most of the time. Sort of getting the scraps in this “everybody eats” offense. 

 

I do think he has the potential to have a Kelce-like impact if he were the main target out there.

[Augie]

Really? This is what we are thinking this morning? He will have his moments.

Im thinking about KC next week.  Why cant we deploy Dalton like Kelce?  A good TE is a QBs best friend they say.

 

Im on cloud 9 today!

GO BILLS!

I would have rather had this Kincaid on the field yesterday.

Yep. Tough catch but one that great TE's are expected to make. It hit him right in the hands.

 

I hate to say it, to me it is starting to become clear that not only is he not that guy, I question if he becomes a liability and is it worth keeping him on the roster through his entire rookie contract at the expense of not getting fair looks at other TE options. Feel like there can be good free agent candidates at the TE position that the Bills could look at. 

 

That all said, still some hope he puts it all together still. But he has been a pretty big disappointment thus far.

I suspect a season long injury,  stay tuned AFTER the Bills win the Superbowl

The Bills have no legit deep threat and no receivers that can get reliable separation.  Baltimore covered the 5-15 yard plays and Buffalo complied by dinking, dunking and running  the whole game except on  2 throws.  One that drew DPI on Tre and one on the first drive when Shakir got behind the safety.

I know he is total jerk, but I was hoping we would sign Gisecki last offseason.

Samuel should be the deep threat. Dalton should be a mismatch.  Thats why I ask if its on Brady.  Samuel has been more productive previous seasons.  Why can't Samuel get seperation?

[QB Bills]

The offense seemed to be at it's best when he was out with that injury. He's obviously not Diggs, but I think there is a bit of "have to get him involved" because of what he's supposed to be. 

 

But honestly, Knox is the better player and that draft pick isn't looking all that great right now.

Why not Knox, why not Cooper ? I think it is in part a piece of the game plan of the opposition . After last season Kincaid is a known commodity so he is looked at more by opponents .

 

I have wondered given Coopers history why there hasn't been more long balls to him and actually hi e is utilized very little or other teams are keeping him under raps . 

 

I was encourages to see Knox put to use more in the last couple of games all of those guys on that side of the ball are weapons that are at Brady & Josh's disposal and when they aren't being targeted it baffles me to some point .

Maybe he’s just not that good?  

[MikePJ76]

I will  never understand the mindset of most fans.

 

the constant complaining about Kincaid and Coleman is really absurd to me.

Sophomore slump.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Laporta is a star in Detroit.  Could have had him without moving up in the draft.  He is a more complete TE

Still have hope Kincaid will develop. TE can take a few years.  

[jahnyc]

Surprised that the Bills are not utilizing Kincaid and Cooper more.  Also surprised that Coleman seems to be out there more than I would have expected.
