He’s got 19 catches all year
Davis has has 3 games where he’s had “decent”
(NOT “very good”) production,
the best of which was like 5 catches for 80yds (or something like that)

Nothing he’s done remotely qualifies as “very good”

Lol, he’s a rookie 4th rounder who’s our WR4 who was awesome in camp and has been very good when he’s had the ball thrown his way.

He’s absolutely very good for a rookie

Training camp only means so much
And there’s like a dozen rookie WRs that have been MUCH better

I like him
He’s played well
Just think saying “very good” is quite an exaggeration

Relative to expectations of a 4th rounder he’s been very good.

He was the talk of Bills camp and is two penalties and a missed call from officials from having 6 TD’s in limited targets.

He’s tracking to being very good then if he isn’t already

I didn’t like the force awakens or all the new movies. Rogue one was the best of the “new” movies. Solo annoyed me. I liked the prequels.

Adding Bo Katan and ahsoka was incredible.

- Sabretooth9


I grew up with the original trilogy. Not trying to date myself but I saw Star Wars at a drive in theater in the back of my parents station wagon. Anywho, I respectfully disagree about the prequels, I’m not a fan. I do like the scenes in the last one where Anikan finally loses his poop and becomes Vader. The force awakens was just ok, it was a modern remake of the original Star Wars to get the younger generation hooked on the franchise while introducing the new generation of characters. Worked on my kids. Rogue One was fantastic. Finally a movie in the franchise where the heroes die for the cause. The last scene where Vader boards the ship and unleashes hell down the corridor is incredible. I’m really digging the Mandalorian. They do a great job of keeping things new and interesting while mixing in enough nostalgia for us long time fans.

19 catches really exceed what u thought he’d do?
Especially with Brown missing time?
It’s not like he’s been killing it when Brown is outta the lineup

He’s got a lot to prove before he can be called “very good” imo
Looking good on occasion isn’t nearly enough

Jared Patterson for UB so far has 10 carries for 206 yards and 4 TDs and it's only the 2nd quarter.
- buffalofan19

seems as if there was another player in buffalo's backyard playing for ub who was a stud...and for some reason they passed over him

Admittedly, 19 catches certainly isn't setting the world on fire.
However he is in fact catching 61% of his targets, with 14.5 ypc and 3 official TDs Those stats are indeed actually better than Brown...just that Brown has played more and been targeted 50% more. Allocate those Brown targets to Davis and it looks like the Bill's passing game would be similar, if not better. Gabe is playing 4WR, not 2WR, there is your big difference.
I will say, they are different receivers as Brown has far better speed than Davis and adds that important element to the passing game. Gabe seems to have good hands too, and is valuable in the Red Zone.

Honestly, I'd say the decision goes to Broads on this one...for a rookie playing 4WR, Davis has been pretty, pretty good.

He would have been the perfect 2C behind Eichel.

Eichel/Cozens/Lundell would have been the best trio down the middle in idk how long.

Jack Quinn better score 40 a year.

- Pegullaville

I wanted Lundell from the start, thought he would be a perfect fit. But the more I read up on Quinn, impressed me a little. Kids got a great shot, sneaky with it.

Not having Brown is gonna hurt, when he hasn’t played or been limited it has affected are O. You can see it in are numbers.

wawrow:

Interesting to note that #Bills wouldn’t be caught in #Broncos type QB situation.
Buffalo has elected to separate Jake Fromm from the QB group in the event of such a COVID-19 outbreak in the room.

I’m happy with how he’s played
I just take issue with saying he’s been “VERY good”
Bc he hasn’t been
Most games he’s actually been invisible
7 games with between 0-2 catches
Only 3games with 4-5 catches

That doesn’t mean i don’t think he can be good next year in a WR2/3 role
But for NOW, he’s more showing promise....
just wanna see it from him every week instead 30% of the time

Just do it here. Let the 49ers staff operate the PA system. Paint the endzones. There's no crowd noise disadvantage

Gotta love it.

We can post pone games for Newton and Lamar but the Broncos are forced to play the wild cat.

- Pegullaville


Both teams have already had their bye week, and postponing until Tuesday isn't going to change anything. They have only themselves to blame.

It's why boxing and fighting are two different sports. You can't just go out and throw only haymakers, you're going to get killed.

I mean, he wanted the fight and ran his mouth for over 6 months... And supposedly trained. And he came out sloppier than CM Punk did in his UFC debut.

Tyson held back and still dominated that fight. Wasn't a bad fight. Tyson is the clear winner.
