HOUSE Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Sammy Watkins, former first-round pick of the Buffalo Bills, said the team trading him in 2017 “helped him a lot.” The comments about the team that drafted him went downhill from there. “It left me scarred by just not trusting coaches in general,” Watkins told reporters via 13WHAM-TV during Super Bowl week in Miami ahead of Sunday’s Chiefs-49ers showdown. https://billswire.usatoday.com/2020/01/29/sammy-watkins-scarred-buffalo-bills-trade-didnt-want/ Edited January 30, 2020 by HOUSE 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirAndrew Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Come across as immature at times, and varies from taking accountability for his career one day, to taking none the next. Good thing there are some legit playmakers on that team so he can ride their coattails to the big game.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 So: confirms what we all knew (or most of us anyway). Sammy Watkins is soft. 24 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgotBILLStopay Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Sour Grapes. Rarely will a player ever say nice things about a team that didnt want him - Dareus, Sammy, Shady etc. The narrative coming from the players in the locker room is what I care about at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sig1Hunter Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Is it the Buffalo media asking asking these ridiculous loaded questions? Who else would care about how these guys felt when they got dealt from the team? What is the media trying to prove? Very, very weird. The responses are predictable. Does the media just have a thing for hearing someone take a dump on Buffalo so they try to incite it at every opportunity? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Honestly, I just don’t care at this point. Move on Sammy as I said about Reggie. I hope he does well Sunday, and just shut up moving forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins is soft. 100% i assume his “not trusting coaches” comment is directed at Marrone who played him in the preseason with broken ribs.

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Perhaps Jerry Sullivan is in Miami asking the questions ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 He had just gone through 2 years of the Rex clown show, and McD and Beane were unknown quantities at that time... I can’t really blame him for wanting out and being happy to be traded.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Dude also thinks he's some kind of reptile man so I'd take what he says with a grain of CTE...uh...salt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Usually the word "scarred" has negative, long-lasting, connotations - it allegedly left him "scarred", but then he further elaborates how it revived his career and resulted in a plethora of blessings ? Quote “But I think that revived my whole career. At that point in my life I didn’t want to be there and somehow, miraculously, I get traded like the next week and go to another team that’s pretty good and go to the playoffs in my first year with the Rams and now to be in this situation, fighting in the third round last year, one game away from the Super Bowl and to be in the Super Bowl this year… blessings.” Edited January 30, 2020 by stevewin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Scarred? So scarred he was probably put on the injury list after giving that interview. Sammy Watkins-questionable (butt hurt) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Man did Beane and McDermott inherit a mess! Every single interview from these former players gives me more confidence in our now FO and coaches.

Just in Atlanta Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 He's in a better place and we are, too. I look forward to him being scarred when we shut him down next year in the playoffs. Also, he's a flat-earther. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
