Buffalo Bills Fan Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Please 49ers win. Don't want these asshats talking all season... How bad instead of Super Bowl. Should be about Super Bowl. If was off season go for it. Only causing distractions or there team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot's of players play hurt. Don't give a rats behind about Watkins. Even tho Marrone is a jerk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 This is why film is important, but not everything. You need to know the man as well as the player. Sammy is supremely talented, but he seems to lack “it”. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I’m still scarred that the words “The Buffalo Bills select Khalil Mack, Linebacker, University of Buffalo” didn’t come out of Rog’s mouth that day. Of all the draft day whiffs of the last 20 years, that one...still stings. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 The bills trading Watkins was the right move. He has never lived up to where he was drafted. He is a nice complimentary reciever. He's not a number 1 like he was drafted to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Although I think Sammy did have his issues that were on him I could understand what he is saying IF (and this is unknown) McD had assured Sammy that he was a big part of their future and that they want him there long term (which considering his age at the time and the fact that he was a blue chip player inherited by McD is possible) and then they turn around and trade him would scar a players trust in coaches. Sammy had probably by 2017 never had an issue staying on a team or believing a coach when they said they wanted him. I would assume he was heavily recruited out of high school and was a star in college, he was then drafted by Buffalo high up and survived a coaching change from Marrone to Rex. Then suddenly a new coach trades you in pre-season (possibly after being reassured you are part of the teams plans) and you are in a position as a player you never have been in. I don't think that is an unreasonable emotion for a player to have. And I don't blame McD for pulling that type of move, for one he could have actually felt that Sammy was a part of the team's future when he got there until realizing he had attitude issues or he just wanted to preserve his trade value by not announcing he was trading Sammy. It just ended up being a bitter situation for both parties that needed to end when it did. Sammy seems to have matured a bit the past year or so and he is doing well. The Bills got a pick used to trade up for Josh and a good season out of a corner for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 The guy was an extremely young player playing for Rex Ryan!! Are we at all surprised that it wasn’t a good situation?!? You heard numerous vets say the exact same thing. Side note, my buddy that played for Saban and BB finished his career with Rob Ryan as his coordinator. He said it was the most unorganized, unprofessional environment that he ever experienced. It was a disaster. He laughs at it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a number 1 like he was drafted to be Given that Sammy is still young I think he could develop into a DeSean Jackson type burner which is a solid mid-level WR1. But the Bills drafted him to be a complete game changing WR one of the best at his position. He just never lived up to that billing and he might not even get to that D Jax level he flashes the potential to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank Stare Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Ughhhh. Yet another story about a former Bill who is blessed to be gone. Good lord. I hated trading Sammy at the time, and even more so after seeing the offensive “talent” they replaced him with, but enough already. Who is asking these questions? Side note - so much for the Bills being his favorite team. I always thought that was a little phony anyway. I mean come on, the Bills must’ve been terrible when he was growing up. Where’s the appeal? The color scheme? Those unis were also awful in the early 2000s. Always just felt a little forced like saying something he felt like he had to say. I’m skeptical.
