QB Bills

It will prove to be another typical Bills blunder in a few years. A few intelligent posters are here trying to explain to some of you why and you don't seem to get it. This team that is "going all in" for the playoffs let their all pro safety walk for nothing and traded their best receiver for nothing. There will be growing pains for Watkins this year and I don't think anyone would have expected him to make Stevie irrelevant in year one, if ever.

And they keep losing. There's a disconnect somewhere, wouldn't you agree? Be honest, do you think the Bills offer was as good or better than what Byrd got from the Saints? And that he left even then because he wanted out of the city?

Likely: CJ Hopefully: Marrone

You know you've been a Bills fan too long when you don't want the players getting these kinds of accolades for fear they will become to expensive to keep.

Not at all. Stevie is very talented.

Dude, we're Bills fans. We all need help.

I'd have preferred Sherlock.

Same here. Wide receiver is the most overvalued position in football due to its reliance on the guy throwing him the ball. If Manuel doesn't improve by quite a bit, Sammy Watkins will not be able to help this team. And if by chance Manuel does improve, these receivers that everyone complains about would have looked a lot better anyway. Calvin Johnson is probably the best receiver in football. He was also part of the only 0-16 team in history.

He was a seventh round draft pick and was not handed anything and not given anywhere near the rope high picks get. To say he's not a hard worker is not only false, but completely dismissive and foolish. For the life of me, I can't figure out why people don't have anything but love for the guy. Classic underdog story. Loved the fun vacuum named buffalo and it's fans. He was nothing but positive his whole time here. Is it the tattoos? The fact he raps? It can't just be that he dropped that ball against the Steelers right? The one that would have got us to 4-12 instead of 3-13?

Dont be so sure. It's possible he just wanted Kelly to come out of retirement after watching some EJ game tape from last year.

That's not entirely accurate. He has never been hit in stride the way Goodwin has. I prefer Goodwin also but Graham takes far too much abuse here. He's not bad as a deep threat. The problem is the qbs suck.

He's just trying to be supportive. This guy can't hold a candle to Spiller. Who himself can't hold a candle to Freddie.

Perfectly stated. The pompom waving crowd doesn't seem to understand this.

One small point. The falcons had Matt Ryan at the time. We have knee j

Next to Stevie, the most underrated player on the team. So...the most underrated player on the team. Eff you Whaley.

He put up some pretty good stats with Ryan $hitzpatrick at qb. Not sure why people here think some of us are overvaluing him. He's actually quite underrated in my opinion. How well did Larry Fitzgerald do the last few years before Carson Palmer came in this past season? Yes, we've been garbage for a long time. Doesn't mean we haven't had some really good players in that time.

I echo these sentiments.

So that's where the logical discussion of this move is taking place. Reading some of the comments on here is making my head hurt. He's an excellent player that we got rid of for basically nothing. This is an unbelievably stupid move and typical of the mouthbreathing crowd to be happy about it. We are the laughing stock of the league yet again.

What a stupid stupid stupid effing team. I hate being a bills fan. Go tear it up back home in San Fran, Stevie.

Thanks

This wasn't gutsy. It was reckless.

It's not a knock against Watkins. By all accounts, he's super talented. But as you saw last year, EJ was incapable of making those safe, easy throws you speak of. His screen passes were atrocious. I just don't think teams like the Bills should be giving up future first round draft picks unless its for a potential franchise QB. Sammy Watkins was not the difference between 6-10 and 10-6 last year. Our receiving group was actually good already.

Why would a bad team trade a first round pick to draft a receiver when they don't even know if they have a QB to throw him the ball? This is such a stupid move.

I doubt that. In my opinion, it was lack of confidence in his own ability by Manuel.

Manziel. Yes, I said it.
