This Is Why the Buffalo Bills Signed Curtis Samuel

[@6r3ys0n]

Browns fan here, people say the Bills window is closing fast, I say as long as the Bills have Josh Allen and keep up with their defense they have nothing to worry about! Josh Allen is a top 3 QB

[@peterwilson4865]

Yeah that's a bunk ass national media/Twitter narrative for the casuals.

[@anthonysmith132]

I am a Bills fan and I would honestly say that the window never truly opened. This team could win a SB, I just fear it is so slime of a margin. You can say they have gotten hit with the injury bug at the worst time. That would just be an excuse though. I think coaching and leadership in the Org is the true problem.

[@seanguitarman5594]

I'm with you, as long as Allen is healthy, and the Defense remains a focus, they will be nearly automatic playoff locks, and potential contenders. And I say this after Diggs left to the Texans. Allen is definitely the type of QB who elevates the performance of those around him. That said, Curtis Samuel could have a career year this season, incredible signing!

[@ThatBigCactus]

@@seanguitarman5594 Diggs was always overrated IMO

[@markgoh7018]

When I look at Curtis Samuel I think he could be similar to what Amon Ra does for the Lions. Pretty wide skillset and physical tools plus hes fast.

[@seanguitarman5594]

Honestly with Josh at the helm, I could see Samuel hit 1000 yds and 10 TD's easy. All depends on how Joe Brady decides to use him, but ...he certainly has the explosive playmaking ability to pull those numbers off. Not to mention he's one of the most QB-friendly receivers in the league. Great signing, from this guy's perspective

[@AL.BUNDY.]

It was a good signing. Productive and reasonably priced.

[@lesmoore3638]

Gabe Davis, who i love (Go Bills), got paid for the KC 13 second game.

[@IntroducingMrLucci]

Very thankful he's moved on to the Jags..

[@lesmoore3638]

I would have loved to keep him for receiver 4 money. Less than $6m/year???

[@juststop022]

​@@IntroducingMrLucci he'll blow up on the jags watch. We didn't utilize him properly.

[@dkgdkg2178]

@@juststop022 Too many drops. It's as simple as that .

[@peterwilson4865]

​@@juststop022no he won't at all. He is what he is. If they used him correctly, then he should be a big slot WR and not an X. He's a really limited route runner and not fast enough to be an actual deep threat. He's the king of diminishing returns. He'll get more production by getting more targets, but it'll just be because of attrition and not because he's somehow utilized better. He was only the boundary WR because Buffalo has never really properly addressed the position since Gabe got there. He was a much more efficient player when he was used in the slot and as a WR4. Jags overpaid him big time.

[@justus4423]

Excited to see him with a lil more consistency at qb

[@Flirken1]

Same. I think he’s a smaller Deebo, but better at running routes. With a really good QB like Josh Allen, he should have some good numbers this year. I mean gabe Davis had like 6-7 games with 0 catches. Curtis samuel is better than that.

[@annetteavery4930]

Samuel always has been nice

[@peterwilson4865]

Little more?? He's got a Mt Rushmore of garbage QBs in his past. Allen is 100x better than all of them.

[@dr.h.lecter7624]

Browns Fan, I totally agree! Josh is the most exciting player the Bills have had in a long time! I feel the window for the Bills just got wider this offseason! Thank you for your comment. I really like Baker Mayfield! I hope he does well this season. Here's to a good season for the Browns and the Bills!

[@joelogan1452]

You guys got a player. Baby Debo will fit in good. Congrats commander fan.

[@LankyCoop]

Diggs has had over 100 catches and 1100 yards since he joined buffalo. Yes, this past year was his least productive but he is still an elite receiver.

[@kubasonic]

Was

[@geoffblake6109]

Bills management and coaching love versatile players. If they decide to go WR in the draft and that player is not ready right away, Samuel can step in and play the "X" role. They want Diggs snaps to come down as well. He can play behind Diggs in that role. Samuel will be used as a utility guy/swiss army knife all over the field.

[@kubasonic]

Who is WR1 in Buffalo after they drafted Keon Coleman? Reminds me of the Hardy pick years ago (RIP Hardy)

[@adambarbour1676]

come on fellow canadian northmen get this up to 100!

[@MikeyDee2869]

Don’t forget about Justin Shorter. I think people are sleeping on him. For good reason. He missed the entire season with a hamstring. Generally, players won’t miss an entire season with a hamstring injury. I think they protected him with the IR tag. He was the best WR in the country coming out of high school. Went to PSU with no QB, and a run heavy offense. Transfers to UF, Mullen gets fired, and he’s back in a run heavy system with Napier. I think the Bills used the year to improve his overall game, and he could be somewhat of a surprise. He could also get cut 😂

[@WayneBo]

Great take! I like their versatility with Shakir, Kincaid and now Curtis to play Slot, TE/Slot, WR/Slot/RB... just ridiculous their scheme options... and with a tall Shorter for go routes.

[@zaco716]

Samuel WR1 right now with Josh Allen throwing him the ball... dream scenario for Samuel truthers 😂 hopefully the Bills add another WR early in the draft either way though

[@ricblic901]

You have Diggs, Shakir and Samuel what I'm seeing is he greatest show on turf with a better QB.

[@IntroducingMrLucci]

Diggs is getting up there in years tho so expect some decline coming. Bills still don't have a #2 Boundary WR. This trio doesn't compare to Bruce, Holt, & Hakim.

[@Scrooge1801]

Yeah I feel we should not get a receiver in the draft

[@tdtommy196]

Totally agree. We're getting a true X receiver in the draft to be our Holt. Then this is going to be hands down the most dangerous offense in the league. People are upset because they see Samuel being the same as Shakir. They are NOT the same. Also, Shakir to me at least looks like a really solid #3 receiver. But that just means he is a great 4th receiver. Samuel will be the number 2 target out of the slot, and then that yet to be drafted X will be the number 3. With Kincade at TE, and Knox behind him, and Cook and Johnson at RB, not only will the skill position starters be great across the board, but they will be deep and able to exploit mismatches in multiple personnel sets and formations. I am really looking forward to watching this offense take off and break some records this year!

[@duanebrown3016]

And they can go with 2 tight end and 2 big receivers two defense will need to play a different personnel against them

[@peterwilson4865]

​@@IntroducingMrLucciHakim was JAG. Samuel is definitely better than he was and Shakir has the traits to be better when he gets the opportunity. Diggs since being with Allen is very very close to their tier. He was a top 3 guy for like 4 years in a row including a 1st team all pro nod before last year and was still back half of the top 10 despite the 2nd half dip. But yes the combo of Holt AND Bruce is definitely better overall. But Allen>>Warner.

[@billsfever]

I'd like to hear your giys opinion of how Samuel will be used after trading Diggs sbd drafting Coleman

[@adamw1145]

I think the Bills get Brian Thomas Jr or AD Mitchell or Keon Coleman in the early/mid 2nd maybe

[@anthonysmith132]

BTJ is not falling that far. They will have to move up and take him, which I think they should. AD and/or Coleman may be there at 28.

[@adamw1145]

@@anthonysmith132 yeah i think youre right now looking at the draft order. he can go anywhere between 13-20

[@bakugosrage8976]

Why are we acting lije Diggs was a 1st round pick? He was a 5th round pick that became really good and got really great when he got with Allen. He didnt sniff a probowl till he came to the Bills. We have now 2 former 2nd round picks, and 3rd or 4th round wideout, and a rookie 2nd round pick that can get better with Josh.

[@lgflex2205]

Chill diggs was nice in Minnesota

[@anthonysmith132]

I think there is no choice but to draft a WR in the 1st round. Unless you can guarantee that Polk, Legette or maybe even Baker will be there at 60 and that doesn't seem likely. The only options the Bills have are to move up and take a WR, sit on their hands and see whos there at WR or move back a couple spots and take a WR. There is no other choice. The level of talent that is there between WR 1-6 is not the same as 7-10. There is a significant drop off once you get outside of the top guys and the level doesnt pick back up until like late round 2 - 3 graded guys.

[@tannerlindsey667]

It makes sense why Josh Allen looks like he’s got a bazooka. He’s throwing down hill at his short lil receivers lol

[@chreal9863]

throws down hill on a flat field????? Does your favorite qb throw up hill to Tall receivers???? What a dumb comment. Allen hit diggs in the chest tor 65 yards the last game. Let me guess it was a 90 degree slope . LOL. Get a clue dude.

[@3Torts]

@@chreal9863 ...chill.

[@darrenhill3514]

Yeah with Josh Allen at QB I'll be trying to draft him in the proper round. Probably an 8th to 10th round pick at the moment but a good one.

[@Rob_G716]

Gabe Davis was a HUGE disappointment in Buffalo. This is 💯 an upgrade to the Bills offense. They will make additional moves in the draft for that true #2 WR.

[@minghanphotography1838]

Maybe they take a page out of the Bill Belichek playbook and go 2TE sets like with Gronk/Hernandez?

[@anthonysmith132]

Lets hope not. 13 personnel is not a great look. I don't think Brady is a 13 personnel

Shakir is an outside receiver he is size and speed wise the same as diggs. Was more productive than Diggs as of late. Way better hands, way better yac. He's the #1 , Coleman #2 Samuel slot but they can all change and go both

[@joser6087]

Diggs Samuel and Shakir, I'm good with them as our 3 main WRs.

[@josefelix254]

6:38 Right! Plus I think Mike Williams and Josh Allen would be a cheat code. Assuming Williams doesn't get hurt in training camp.😂

[@tdtommy196]

I think Mike Williams is the exact type of WR that we don't need. We already have that guy. His name is Dalton Kincaid. Only Kincaid is better because he's not all banged up. Get me a tall speedy guy that can get separation on the outside. Someone to catch those 50 air yard bombs that Allen loves to throw.

[@derrickp]

The Bills are going to be a more balanced O with more running and short and medium passes with plays to exploit the D with mismatches

[@Atsruke]

Buffalo is going to be more than fine at the WR position Stefon Diggs was doing more harm than good in Buffalo. Stefon Diggs is spectacular but Lers face it, Teams figured out how to limit stefon Diggs and all is I ever heard from.the national media is how Gabriel Davis ISNT a great WR lol! And now the national media thinks the loss of Gabe Davis is just too much for Buffalo ,I mean WTf! True Buffalo Bills fans understand that Buffalo has gotten younger and BETTER!!

[@gsimon123]

And now no Diggs :(

[@boldtaa]

Curtis Samuel and Gabe Davis both signed 3 year contracts but Samuel’s deal was $15 million cheaper. As a Bills fan I think Samuel is a better overall player who was devalued by poor QB play.

[@rc3166]

Also signed Mack Hollins big Option

[@lesmoore3638]

Did he imply that Diggs would be a #2 WR??? "...then we have Diggs and this new #1." What is he smoking? The Bills can't draft someone to push Diggs into a #2 role. Not at 28. At best, there are 3 WR that project high enough that they could possibly match Diggs and they'll be gone by 15.

[@MegaOdunn]

Curtis Samuel. Training camp hero. Season zero. No threat.

[@Donnybrook10]

Samuel is a big step up from Gabe Davis and we're gonna see him break out. We're still not sure what happened last season but Davis ran the wrong route several times and the majority of Allen's picks were throwing to Davis. Translation, Davis can't win contested balls and he doesn't go get it. I've seen Davis' route running in person and they are poor. He telegraphs and rounds off his cuts. He's not fast, has a very limited route tree and won't beat any corner. Davis takes forever to get up to speed and when he did get open, it was late in his routes so often too late. All for Davis' success were because Josh is a God and put the ball on his numbers in impossible situations. Buffalo needs speed and Davis wasn't it. Jax overpaid bigtime for him and Bills Mafia are over the moon with Samuel. We are targeting Bryan Thomas Jr or Adonai Mitchell in rd 1. If they're gone, we will go for a stud DI. Look for Buffalo to possibly move up because we have 11 picks. If all the top WRs are gone at 28, 23 might even move back.

[@TheGreatBoomy25]

To overpay a guy who’s 3 years older than Gabe Davis. Lateral move for a guy less valuable via age. Shipping Davis for him made no sense.

[@peterwilson4865]

I love Gabe as a person and liked him as a player, but he's not nearly as good as Samuel and they have completely different skill sets. He's 27 and still well within his prime. How does it make no sense? They signed an objectively better WR than Gabe for like 60% of the cost. Gabe was miscast as a boundary WR and is an incredibly inefficient and limited football player. Jags just overpaid him like they have all their mid WR corps. They're the ones that paid Zay Jones 11+ million and Christian Kirk well over 20 million.

[@Joe-u9l]

He's never had competent QB so his numbers look good under the circumstances. WR's don't work in a vacuum.

[@scottg8660]

They already have Shakir

[@choosecarefully408]

Hayden pointed out The Problem(s) with the Bills, the play-calling. & it's never gonna change with Sean McDermott at the helm. This is the *important stuff* the article on him said, not that terrible analogy. Brady got One Game to run the offense & it worked. Then the Bills returned to the insipid No Variant offensive schemes McD prefers because he can't juggle too many ideas at once.

[@dominiquerosemond5682]

McD doesn't control the the offense he let's the oc's run it

[@peterwilson4865]

One game? Dafuq are you even talking about? Brady took over mid season when the offense was coming off by far its worst stretch offensively of the year. He had to do so with Dorsey's playbook, but the differences in pre-snap motion and game planning were night and day. They just committed to running the ball more and the team was better off as a result. Maybe that increase in running was an edict from McDermott, but it was a highly successful one as the results speak for themselves.

McDermott and Beane could be gone after this szn unless JA saves them
