Poeticlaw Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Where's the love for Josh Reed? Every time we needed a big play, Josh Reed stepped up. I know we need a bigger receiver, but don't forget Reed's productivity. I don't think we need Coles with this receiving corp:1. Evans 2. Reed 3. Stevie 4. Hardy or Roscoe Coles just brings another Reed/Evans type receiver. If the FO wants a new receiver, they should have gone for a big guy. I still want Jenkins (just signed, won't happen) or Roscoe dealt. We have too many 5 foot nothin' 100 and nothin' receivers. Reed is no number 2 hasnt been never will be- 1. Evans 2. we need a VET posession receiver 3. Reed 4 Johnson 5. Hardy or Jenkins 6. Hardy or Jenkins Parrish needs to go wasting a spot and 4 mil for a punt return -great as he is at that- but still.

thewildrabbit Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I agree with those. I just don't think Coles is the answer. He's not the same player he used to be. Whats more is, yes, I do think Steve Johnson could fill those shoes if given the chances. Hopefully he will get it. Coles could just be that WCV the Bills need to open up the offense, the options in FA are down to him and maybe Marvin Harrison,who they can't afford, they need someone immediately. It took Josh Reed 5 years to develop into a really good possession receiver and he had way more potential then any young receiver the Bills have ATM.

Ramius Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Signing Coles would be good for the offense, because it gives us a legit #2 and allows time for Johnson and/or Hardy to develop. They may develop, they may not. But give them time to develop and round out their games, instead of forcing 1 of them into the #2 role and hoping they develop sooner rather than later.

1billsfan Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 If Greer is so good, then why are the bills letting him leave, why sign Drayton Florance instead ? The team has a coaching staff. Head coach,offensive coordinator, position coach. While I agree that Jauron (HC) and Schonert (OC) are tools and inept in some areas, I'm not convinced Tyke Tolbert the receivers coach is a complete dunce just yet. It doesn't take a rare mind to see if a receiver is running his routes properly in practice, if he is catching everything thrown his way, if he can separate from DB's and make a difference. Not to mention that the QB and QB coach also have input into the offense, if someone really stands out and can make big plays consistently in practice then they would be given more chances on game day, pure and simple. Trust me, when an elite receiver completely turns around the DB and then runs right by him it opens up eyes. "The Bills really don't have that guy" Are you serious with this? Do you honestly believe the Bills let Greer get away because they felt he wasn't really that good???? C'mon now, you don't believe that. FYI, you should go to Steve Johnsons player page at NFL.com and check out those 2 redzone touchdown catches (and isn't that what this team has been lacking since forever?) he had in his VERY LIMITED time on the field. If you can't see the fearless, Larry Fitzgerald "type" aggressiveness then you have as much of a clue as our head coach. He obviously isn't Larry Fitzgerald, but the guy is clearly tough and has GREAT hands. He is better than Coles right now. But the Bills will be clowns and overpay a name player past his prime when what they have is already a better option. This team is embarrassingly inept in the FO and coaching area. It's become a bad joke told over and over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Capolupo Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Reed is a failed #2 and has never been a solid #3. To say he is a failed #2 can be argued for sure, but to say he isn't a solid #3 is just neglecting to accept the fact he overcame is early career problems (dropping balls) and developed into a consistent and productive WR.

JJBuffalo Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 If we sign Coles i think Reed gets cut or dealt. We would have way too much tied up in WR. Parrish may get dealt anyways. I'm Fine with Johnson and Hardy as #3 and #4. With Jenkins and a draft pick rounding out the corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
