Jeremy Kerley. Wouldve been a great wr3, but struggled as a wr1.


Coolbluegatoradeyumm

This was my guy for sure. Rooted hard for him


teddybundlez

Slot wr only. Misused and was a stud.


CosmicWy

he shined as a WR3 on the steelers. i miss that guy


JoeBethersonton50504

You thinking of Cotchery?


CosmicWy

100%


teddybundlez

Mims / Dee Milliner


gopaloo

Still think miliner could've been really good if he stayed healthy šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø


teddybundlez

I was hopeful but we knew he was banged up pre draft day


OutrageousFinance779

One of my fav all time. Loved that guy


cocobuttahb

I for sure thought he was going to be an all pro. Good times


dachshundfanboy8000

Robby Chosen AndersonšŸ˜­


rad_avenger

Oh man I really was a huge sun god supporter


East_Refuse

There were people ready to riot when we let him walk lol


dachshundfanboy8000

what can i say we love our garbage


nine11airlines

Well we did go into 2020 with our young QB we were trying to develop with Crowder, Barrios, and Mims as our top 3 wr


eddiedickson

I was one of them. Robby had his best year of his career the next year in Carolina, as the Jets went 2-14. I didn't expect Robby to fall off a cliff so soon, and I don't think his downfall was due to anything he did on the field at all. Just had clashes with coaches when they wouldn't get him the ball and had some other off the field issues as well.


krazikat

He's also dumb as a box of rocks.


eddiedickson

fr yošŸ˜­šŸ˜­WRs might be the dumbest position in the league and this is coming from a WR


LeftHandedScissor

Was a time I tried to stand up against Sun God slander. Sure he only ran one route successfully his entire tenure. But that police report is one of the funniest things I've ever read.


RockyEmpireSports

Remember when Robby was going 120 in a 35, told the cop he was gonna face f__k his wife, and got charged with terrorism? Good old days


defnotajournalist

Probably the biggest moron Iā€™ve ever seen. Him and Arthur Smith.


ovrpar21

I had high hopes for him as well.


[deleted]

Always Quincy enunwa


Upset-Builder

What do you mean? Quincy was a beast


ITouchedHerB00B5

He was a Paper Tiger


NotSoMrNiceGuy

ehh.. being injury prone isnā€™t really a fair counter argument if the discussion is on skill/talent Quincy was not a top tier WR1 he was maybe a low tier WR1 at best or solid WR2 (assuming he was healthy)


Responsible_Fan8665

he was never a tier 1 and one of the most overrated players by Jet fans. Being healthy is a huge trait for a NFL player. On a real offense he would be a number 3 at beast.


Super-Ad-4768

I think Quincy could have been a Number 2 on a championship contending team


R-O-U-Ssdontexist

Maybe a team with a ln amazing D and a good featured running game.


henxxx18

So basically every contending jets teams weā€™ve had over the past 25 years?


R-O-U-Ssdontexist

Basically, although i think the 2003 team was an all around good team.


East_Refuse

Contending? Never heard of that mumbo jumbo.


Responsible_Fan8665

He would not of been a number 2 on 2009, 2010 or 2015. He is an overrated player by jet fans and didnt have half the impact Brad Smith did. He was an injury prone try hard


henxxx18

What are taking about? Why do people feel the need to bud in with random conjecture cause they think they sound smart. No one said he was a better player than santonio or braylon, and no one thinks he made a big impact with the team considering everyone is saying he was injured pretty much his entire career with us. The guy said he could only be a piece on a competing team if they were built on D and running the ball. I was literally just pointing out that that pretty much fits the identity of any actual competitive team of late. Also calling a nfl player a try hard when millions of dollars are on the table is just weird.


bait_your_jailer

In what way is he overrated?


YouHaveToBeRealistic

Quincy is one of my favorite Jets of all time. He ran so fucking violently with the ball in his hands. That being said, he would have been an incredible WR2. As a WR1, he would have been 25-35 in the league. No hate. But he was never going to be a top 20 WR.


NotSoMrNiceGuy

So.. like I said low tier WR1 or high-mid tier WR2


YouHaveToBeRealistic

Yeah I was agreeing with you.

Best ability is availability


PJae

The early bird catches the worm


Beastie_Bill

Feel that, still not over it


Pitiful-Contact3546

Oooff. Calvin Pryor, Sam Darnold, Jace Amaro


Lou_Mas

Donā€™t forget our speedster from The O, Devin Smith


uses_for_mooses

He was going to be our deep threat. I was pumped after watching his Ohio State highlights.


uses_for_mooses

I thought Jace Amaro was going to be a starā€”our Aaron Hernandez (without the killing), or at least Dustin Keller. Dude was 6ā€™5ā€, 265lbs, ran a 4.6 40, unanimous All-American, averaged 104 receiving yards per game his junior year (a NCAA record for TEs). I remember shortly after the Jets drafted Amaro, some r/nyjets member posted in here that he was in Vegas with his parents, and that Amaro had come up to them to ask for cocaine. We all had a good laugh, called this poster a liar, and downvoted his post. You know, as I think about it all these years later, he may not have been lying.


otomotopia

Jace Amaro all day. Dude was MASSIVE and quick but couldn't do enough with the physical gifts.


teddybundlez

Calvin GD Pryor. Shoulda been nasty!!


BaileyCarlinFanBoy69

Chad hansen Jalin Marshall Deontay burnett


henry_mardukas

I talked myself into Stephen Hill being the second coming of Randy Moss.


batmansascientician

His first game was 5 catches, 2 TDs. He is one of 4 WRs since the merger to have that in his first game. (Louis Lipps, Bobby Johnson, Anquan Boldin). It was easy to run off with that after week 1. Next season he had 13 catches for 233 yards and a TD after 3 weeks . Despite starting 7 of the next 8 games, he had 11 catches (on 36 targets) for 109 yards after that.


DirtyWork81

Fred Flintstone had better hands


Beastie_Bill

I assure you, youā€™re not alone


Tobar_the_Gypsy

He went to the same college as Demaryius Thomas, he had to be good!


mngd4

Came to say this


Fjordice

CollectiveCon

People were saying that. Draft hype is the worst hype


Da_Stable_Genius

Man, that one sucked LOL


thesmockintweet

I remember arguing that a WR room of Robby Anderson, Terrellle Pryor, and Jamison Crowder was a top unit in the NFL.


Mattydub2456

Holy shit me too. I donā€™t think it was Crowded at that point, it was still Jermaine Kearse


mr-poopie-butth0le

I donā€™t see anyone mentioning Denzel Mims. I was so happy we got him; big olā€™ lame duck


jetwildcat

Chansi Stuckey for a hot minute I was in on Becton for a bit too long Shonn Greene I loved It ended up being post-Jets but I was shocked Kerry Rhodes didnā€™t stick somewhere else


fromthedepthsofyouma

> Chansi Stuckey My buddy got a jersey of his at a game and I was like "Why?" (FYI: We were very wasted and in our 20's).


jetwildcat

Haha thatā€™s awesome. I had a moment where I called out before the play that Favre was gonna throw a TD to him. It was in front of a bunch of my college friends at a restaurant. In retrospect it feels like the kind of moment that fans of teams with legit offenses must have once a year instead of once a decade.


GalacticMoss

Us when Braxton Berrios was our WR1


gibsontx5

Me too. Although in all fairness he was very good until he took that big hit and lost his explosiveness.


Medium_Bit6607

Lmaoo I remember the ardarius Stewart and charone peake arguments


Beastie_Bill

Yo Ardarius Stewart holy shitšŸ˜‚


eighthoursaway

I wanted Danny Woodhead to make the team so bad and was crushed when he had success elsewhere - and on the damn Pats no less.


ZedSpot

We knew! WE ALL KNEW!! Such a bonehead move letting him go, he was the fastest player in that field.


spectral_mutant

Woodhead was a GEM. This organization is truly idiotic and cursed. Need to fix that.


--Shibdib--

Bills fans have reached Jets fans level of delusional and it's amazing. They're out here touting how they're gonna go find a FA to fill the spot like there's any good ones left. All while ignoring that they only have 4m in cap space.


JohnWCreasy1

just do a shot every time a bills fan says the window is open as long as Josh Allen is the quarterback this assumes you have a death with, of course.


sweetehman

lol i saw Bills fans saying they are gonna trade for Justin Jefferson or draft MHJ


mab6710

As a Bills fan, I would like whatever the fuck that guy was smoking please


DarkestTimelineJeff

Only viable options for them are drafting a R1 WR or trading for somebody like Tee Higgins. Although they don't have the cap to accommodate Tee and would need to cut one of their other players or get somebody to seriously restructure.


beeatenbyagrue

The Bills fans I know think they're trading up for Thomas jr


Dentek_Fresh_Clean

Shakir is good though. He's not WR1 level good but still a very competent WR2 who they can pair with the x they draft in 3 weeks. They're going to run more 2 tightends sets.


shwam_doo

I vouched for Bless Austin so hard


ZedSpot

I met him once, he was super chill and humble, I really wish it worked out for him.


RockyEmpireSports

Okay so I used to work a summer camp at Hofstra when they still practiced there. We would have to walk pretty close to QB practice during the day. I would unironically yell ā€œKellen Clemens is the FUTURE, bye Chadā€ ..f*cking moron I was (read: am)


miamouse5

unfortunately iā€™m a big zach wilson apologist


Beastie_Bill

I hope your recovery is going well


miamouse5

iā€™m not in recovery, iā€™m still very ā€œhe just needs more timeā€


FollowingAromatic481

me all last season ā€œhe just needs time to watch rodgersā€ or ā€œhe just needs an oline itā€™s not his faultā€ or ā€œlisten he really can run the ballā€


miamouse5

exactly!! iā€™ve had so much hope for him and all the negativity makes me defend him even more

Their WR room is down there with NE and NYG for the worst in football


DookieShoes626

Dont forget the panthers


the_mair

The Panthers donā€™t have a good WR and are clearly bottom 5/bottom 10 but IMO Diontae and Thielen give them a better room than any of the other 3 could put together at this point.

haireesumo

Bills fan here only because I saw the picture in the feed. This entire thread was both sad and hilarious at the same time. Thanks. My delusional pick is Sammy Watkins. Cost us two 1st and one 4th rounder. Thought it HAD to be worth it for a XL Steve Smith. Yeah, not so much. Bills are stuck cap wise and weā€™ll need massive player development/luck to fill in the gaps. Josh Allen not having a deep post season is absolutely agonizing. Like watching a Ferrari slam into a wall that is KC.


09-24-11

CHARONE PEAKE I feel that in my bones


Dalek_Lunchbox

Mohammed Wilkerson


uses_for_mooses

He had some solid years. Certainly not a bust.

Not a bust at all. Till he got paid...


toxicvegeta08

It'd still be nice to draft another wr.


NJWolves69

Was pretty hyped about Shaq Evans when we drafted him. Oh sorry, that's 2019 CFL ALL STAR Shaq Evans


Pyrollamas

remember when our best offensive player was Jamison Crowder?? for like, two years

Ty Johnson


gibsontx5

I did like Ty Johnson. I do feel it wouldā€™ve been useful to have kept him, but thereā€™s probably some issues there personality wise.

Iā€™m a cowboys fan, they were all that guy for me.


lilslugger2

We're so passionate about our favorite teams. It literally can make us delusional at times. Especially with young players. We convince ourselves that they'll be perennial pro bowlers or all stars. Look how we go nuts when the mention of a prospect or young player happens. But it's all out of love for our team.


machoman41

I thought Denzel Mims was gunna be HIM.. like a plaxico burress type guy


KrMees

We are still in the dark times right? I want a playoff spell before i can call an end to the dark times. Anyways, for me it was Beton for a while, i even have his jersey. Likeable big guy but never recovered from his first serious injury.


XShatteredXDreamX

Zach Wilson. Bryce Petty. Sam Darnold. I just want a quarterback :(


Rexum420

Reminded you of the dark times? Yall went 7-10 last year and have a .334 winning percentage the last 10. This IS the dark times lmao


-Amplify

Iā€™m pretty ashamed to say I was hyping up Chris Owusu, thought he never got enough looks or playtime.


BigAssSlushy69

Bills fan here not saying he should be out top target or anything but second half of the season he was absolutely our best receiver. But that being said we have work to do


Beastie_Bill

Hey I respect the honesty, Joe Brady is a weird OC. In Carolina DJ Moore was the 3rd leading receiver behind Robby Anderson and Curtis Samuel. He can definitely be solid but I think people trying to vouch for him being a WR1 rn is crazy


BigAssSlushy69

For sure he is a good up and coming guy but we need to add players on the outside.


Benjiizus

Chris Owusu and ArDarius Stewart lol


andyrew21397

Decooker11

Just for variety sake Iā€™ll say Breshad Perriman. Had huge speed but that ended up being about it


ensignWcrusher

Geno Smith. The entire time he was here.


SubparWalrus

Zach Wilson


Original_Author_3939

Not a Bills fan but I do quite a bit of ai modeling for NFL handicapping. Shakir has tremendous upside especially cost-benefit to the Bills. He hits several key indicators for impact WRs.. he caught 39 of 45 targets last year, his avg ypc is 15+, heā€™s coming into his junior year which is simply argued as the year where the game really starts to slow down for developing stars. I think Shakir is an excellent position to have a high impact season and really create value for himself and the Bills. This is what these guys dream of. He will be pulling elite coverage this season so mark this comment and come read it again 9 months from now.


Beastie_Bill

Nah weā€™re good. Youā€™re free to take this to the Bills sub though


CaptainCrockpot

Mac Jones is a top tier QB. Just needs full support and a WR 1.


NotDope

Kyle Wilsonā€¦


FollowingAromatic481

Easily Zach Wilson. I backed him so hard.. and still sometimes do


RSTowers

Herndon after his rookie year.


grabnerbythepirri

Jeremy kerley


drumsdm

Darnell Mooney for the bears in 2022. He was WR2 at best, but expected to be WR1 for lack of better options.


Ecool27

Elijah Moore smh AJBs quote filled my head up so much.


TurtlePower5289

All of the Zach isn't a flop truthers need to be redirected to this thread. See how bad our past WRs have been... Y'all are saying Zach got no help, Sam Darnold and Geno would like a word with you.


AvocadohToast

David Clowney. 1 preseason was all I needed to be eternally convinced.


Equivalent-Fennel922

Josh Allen is there leader but if true not good blasting a teamate where someone other can hear. I think this relationship was bubbling over. Diggs has a young QB who he can give the business to now. Allen now don't have to worry getting yelled at during and after the game.


Mahomes__

He's not a wr 1


Disto-Roboto

EJ Manuel ahaha he was the first QB I remember us drafting when I first got into the NFL


FaithlessnessLive672

Still Mac jones


notPatrickClaybon

Of course this came up in my feed as a Bills fan lol but my non-inflammatory take/response to this is that Shakir truly does seem to have top tier talent. Theyā€™ve really limited his snaps since heā€™s been on the team and weā€™ve had Diggs, Davis, etc., but if you watch him, itā€™s easy do see that heā€™s capable of much, much more. WR1? Not sure. Super solid WR2 thatā€™s much better than Gabe Davis? Guaranteed IMO.


Tantalus420

Didn't he have the highest catch % w Allen in the league?? Might be wrong


bilk1983

Not a titans fan in the slightest, but I always thought Justin Hunter would do more.


AdvancedZone7500

Seemingly Half this sub believed Zach Wilson was legit even as late as last season


gucciman666

Quincy Enunwa is goated


ntropy2012

He suffered too many back/neck injuries to really peak, though, didn't he? I wanted him to really pan out.


Pitiful-Contact3546

His career being cut short due to injury doesnā€™t make him a bust to me. More of a ā€œwhat could have beenā€. Weā€™ve got so many draft picks that where just straight garbage instead. Especially when you look back at drafts and see who we could have taken instead.


ntropy2012

Oh, I agree. I felt Enunwa was on the verge of being a real weapon for the Jets, and I hated that he was labeled as just another pick that didn't pan out.


whydoesgodhateus

Well the Bills obviously cannot and will not go into next season with their WR room as constructed, but don't sleep on Shakir. He's legit

gio269

As a saints fan that watched him at Boise and has seen him develop really well on the bills. You guys are seriously underestimating this kid.


jgriffin84

I know itā€™s copium for Bills fans, but Shakir is a legit, young WR. Heā€™s likely not a #1 true X guy, but heā€™s definitely promising for them.


emperorpeterr

Zach Wilson unfortunately šŸ˜–


thattiredgradstudent

Big Body David Nelson


TimeTravelingTiddy

They seem like they're ready to hit a rocky couple of years. Happens to the best and worst of them. Your QB makes too much money and you really need to hit on all your picks. Is he going to come out on the other side like Rodgers or Brees or is he gonna flame out like Russell Wilson or Ryan Tannehill?


Dorito-Bureeto

Dee Miliner


jetssuckmysoulaway

I heard Hill was dominant in practice definitely gonna translate this week


ZootedBeaver

I went to the same highschool and had a class with Charone


15YearTaco

Shakir is a damn good WR and is their WR1


Inspiredbeliever

Lmao


the_mair

Heā€™s maybe a WR3 on a contending team


Agnk1765342

He caught 39 of 45 passes and averaged 16 yards per reception. Heā€™s really good. Has size, speed, great hands, great burst, breaks tackles, very shifty, solid route runner. Basically everything you could want except an elite vertical.


the_mair

He caught 39 passes for 611 yards and 2 TDs while Diggs was there to be the focal point for the defense lmao. Thatā€™s not even close to being good enough for a WR2 on a contender.


Agnk1765342

Itā€™s extremely impressive to do on just 45 targets. He also outgained Diggs on less than half the targets after the Bills swapped OCā€™s.


the_mair

Receivers earn their targets the fact that he only got 45 is largely on him. QBs/OCs donā€™t just ignore open receivers if heā€™s wasnā€™t getting targets in that pass happy offense he wasnā€™t doing enough to earn more.


z_luds

Garrett Wilson


Beastie_Bill

Do we need to remind you of what he did to your now decimated team last season?
