Kirby Jackson Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Watkins is already putting up better numbers- the expectations are so high that people don't realize he's having a pretty decent year Exactly!! If you go back to the Watkins prediction thread right now he would be on pace for 68 rec, 788 yards and 8 TDS with the BAD qb play that he has gotten. That is higher than most people projected (I think) and I don't think that anyone could have thought that the QB play would be as bad as it has been. Those numbers should climb. My guess now is if Watkins stays healthy 76 Rec, 1,025 yards and 8 TDS. Edited October 2, 2014 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Recall that play from the Texans game where Watkins had his man beat deep in 1-on-1 coverage and Manuel - who had time and space to see - dumped it off. There's a reason Watkins' numbers aren't fantastic right now, and it's not because of him. That is the Same exact reason why Woods numbers are not fantastic yet too .

starrymessenger Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 But i too agree ! Woods is one tough SOB . how great could the Williams Watkins Woods Goodwin combo be for a diverse set of WRs if ... Add Fred and CJ and if Orton does what it appears he can do our O production could explode. Lots of excitement on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26TrapDraw Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Talent wise you'll be hard pressed to find a more talented 1 2 3 receivers than the W's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Isn't this an awesome discussion to be having!!! I mean, really! For my money, Sammy is just too physically talented to be in second place on this team. Get him healthy and hit him in stride and this could be VERY fun! Having said that, Woods is amazing too and they will both benefit from having more than one stud to worry about. Now if we could just borrow some guards to let all this happen...

The Jokeman Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Talent wise you'll be hard pressed to find a more talented 1 2 3 receivers than the W's I'd take Denver, San Francisco, Indy, Chicago and Atlanta's trio over ours.

YoloinOhio Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm a little worried that watkins rib issue could lead up him having a season like Mario's 2012 where he had the wrist thing. Play in every game but held back from full potential due to nagging injury that effects explosiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I'd take Denver, San Francisco, Indy, Chicago and Atlanta's trio over ours. Pretty decent list Jokeman. Detroit's & Houston's groups are pretty solid too. The Bills went from bottom of the barrel to pretty good and improving in 1 year. I like where they are headed on the outside. I'd like a TE to work the middle of the field but I am sure that is high on the offseason list. The Bills weapons are pretty good and if Richardson can play (I believe that he can) they are a G, TE & QB from being elite. Sign Mike Iupati and Sam Bradford, draft Funchess (O'Leary or Heuerman) in the early 2nd. Edited October 2, 2014 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll start a fight with him when he visits the Shoe in November so he gets some character "red flags" for punching a fan, and drops in the draft. Just kidding Vader.

That's what impresses me the most and makes me a Whaley supporter. I know Sammy was expensive, but huge improvement and trending up all over. And yeah, another TE threat would help a lot.

SmokinES3 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Given how few opportunities the WR's have had for YAC, I'm expecting them to play angry on Sunday. I really feel an upset coming on. I wonder if Detroit understands the extent to which a sleeping giant may have just been stirred. This is my gut feeling as well. I'm attempting to temper my enthusiasm and remember what team it is I root for on Sundays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome! Way to take one for the team! Wings and beer on me if it works. (For you only, the rest of the board can go hungry and thirsty, but happy.)

SactoBillFan Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Talent wise you'll be hard pressed to find a more talented 1 2 3 receivers than the W's Maybe but production wise they haven't shown that. Thinking that Orton can change that is hypothetical at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign Mike Iupati and Sam Bradford, draft Funchess (O'Leary or Heuerman) in the early 2nd. Don't get me started on TE. I felt that best thing we could have done was keep SJ13 and draft Ebron as think we gave a lot to get Watkins but willing to accept it as long as we don't give up a top 10 pick. That said this offseason I'm targeting Jordan Cameron or Julius Thomas and re-signing Spikes. The UFA QBs doesn't have many great names on it Bradfor and his injuries concern me but his replacement Austin Davis might be out there and depending what he does the rest of the year might be a guy to add to the mix or maybe draft a guy in Round 3 and take an OG with our top pick.

playman Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 ebron is doing next to nothing with a pretty good qb out there........ really, we all should be happy to have 2 very good, and very young, wr´s on our roster. now let´s see if we find someone to get them the ball...............

I'm not looking short term as to me over time Ebron could be a quality TE. Then if we needed a WR we could have used the lost first round pick on Watkins on someone like Amari Cooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playman Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 niklas will be a better TE than ebron in 2 years from now. aaaannnnndddd.... missed the trend? TE´s are found on the hardfloor now now serious: i too think we need to upgrade at TE. but i also think sammy was worth it. get him someone like matty ice to throw the ball and he is an all pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's projected at 3 overall and compares to Sammy in talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seq004 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I think Woods is and can be a very good reciever in the league for a long time with the right qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
