Shakir vs Gabe on outside

[BuffaloBlitz83]

Is it time to consider Shakir as the better option. I read he’s caught 100% of passes in last 4 games.

I don't think he's a guy who can threaten DBs isolated on the outside.

He's not going to replace Davis and that better not be the plan.

If we aren't keeping Davis, we better draft one of these studs in this year's draft.

Sherfield seems to be the one replacing Davis as he does the blocking stuff that Davis does. Shakir will get more looks as a result with less in front of him.

Davis has 4 games this year with 0 catches.

I just love the production we get from Shakir whenever he gets the ball in space.

For whatever reason he's rarely on the same page with Josh.

Yeah. I know. What does that have to do with the idea that Shakir shouldn't be the long term replacement for
Gabe?

Shakir needs more touches but we really do need to replace Gabe.

Shorter is done for the year, correct?

PCL sprain for Davis

Re: Shakir vs Gabe on outside

That's a week-to-week kind of injury, depending on the grade. But it's the playoffs. Expect him to be available soon.

Well...I mean he's catching the ball. In 2021, avg catch pct for a wr across the league was 63%. Davis has caught 45 out of 81 targets this year for 55.6%. His career avg after 4 seasons is 54.5%, Shakir in his 2nd year has caught 39 of 45 targets for 86.7%.

The thing they keep saying is that Davis blocks well. We have Josh Allen. Maybe it's just me, I kind of want a guy out there at WR that can actually catch more balls from the QB that throws them.

Why do you think it's not Shakir ? It's really not Davis atm imho.

Whether he's inside or outside, he needs more targets.

Shakir’s skill set may not get him open against boundary corners. Being a good slot receiver doesn’t mean you’ll be a good at the X. But what it does mean is we’re likely not also looking for a slot receiver this offseason
