We are all Bills fans, I’m sure everyone has some level of skepticism. It’s hard to have a decent conversation when Sammy Watkins and Dareus are talked about as being missed. Neither guy is a foundational piece, both are being paid as such. Watkins can’t stay healthy. Dareus was being paid as an impact interior dline player, he has two sacks since leaving Buffalo and 8 sacks in the last 5 seasons.
The acquisition of Star brought out plenty of doubters. It was a signing that for some reason seemed inevitable, just driving slow motion into oncoming traffic. All his numbers and declining rankings were posted here but the same posters that defend the signing now simply use the he is taking up space argument. Taking up space on the salary cap I suppose. Saying Dareus would have been better against the run may not even be true but if it is it STILL doesn’t justify his contract.
You don’t pay a space eating non impact DT 100 million dollars, you don’t pay a WR with bad feet. Is Watkins better than what the Bills have, if healthy? There is no less than 100 WRs I’d rather see out there than Zay Jones.
