Wayne Cubed Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) No. The basis for why I think he should be playing is stated in the reasons above, which have nothing to do with stats. The stats say he should be playing too. So scoring TDs isn't a stat? And by saying very solid production, your words, how would you gauge that? Yards? TDs?

peterpan Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I was mad at Sammy when he gave no effort and short armed a sideline pass he easily could have caught if he simply extended his arm and jumped a little. On the next series or maybe it was the same series Goodwin laid out for a pass way over his head. I wish Sammy would lay out for a pass like Goodwin did. There was another one over the middle, that I think was picked off, that Sammy wasn't even trying for. He is very soft for being anointed a god by everyone on this board.

Kelly the Dog Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 So scoring TDs isn't a stat? And by saying very solid production, your words, who would you gauge that? Yards? TDs? Very solid production means everything a WR is supposed to do on the field. Some stats reflect that, some don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thank you sir! That is impressive. But for a receiver that is rediculious. He's a lacrosse player turned football player. Lacrosse players are usually pretty friggin' tough. Exactly. That's how you justify a player like Josh Reed, not a guy you draft 4th overall, with an extra 1st and 4th added in. :lol: You're insane. Sammy's blocking abilities is one of the things that makes him different and better than the other WRs in this very good WR class. It's further proof that Sammy does everything you'd ever want a WR to be able to do. He's got speed, size, physicality, all world hands AND he blocks like a FB on the edges. If you don't think that's something that helps a team, you don't know what you're watching on Sundays. His downfield blocking resulted in one TD yesterday and three more TDs this year that I've counted. The guy has a high football IQ and understands what it takes to win. But keep on thinking he's not worth it. It's going to be a miserable decade plus for you watching Sammy light up this league in a Bills uniform. He is very soft for being anointed a god by everyone on this board. Watch the Denver game again, specifically the way Sammy fought off press coverage from two of the best CBs in the game today and the way he blocks downfield and tell us again that he's soft.

Lofton80 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Imagine this Bills team without Watkins this year. He immediatley gets the attention of the opponent's gameplan. Revis and Talib draw Watkins, not another receiver. Yet I read here again and again that he is not a difference maker. If he had a real QB and better health, he would be Rookie of the Year.

8-8 Forever? Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 We got a baller there. No worries with that kid. Watch out in year 2 and 3. He has now played against the best in the league this year, sometimes twice. He has learned a great lesson and still made plays. Good year 1. No issues.

It's just baffling to me why some Bills fans are so quick to trash the first legit #1 WR we've had since Moulds. I get that not everyone likes the trade but stop living in the past and embrace the present. It is a gift after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Sammy played well, and considering how quiet he has been the past couple of weeks it was good he showed up. The guy is a stud can't wait to see how much better he will be with a year under his belt and some time to get healthy. The team still needs to find him a QB and a legit tight end and number two WR (Woods and Hogan are slot guys, Mike Williams not the answer).

K-9 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Sammy is soft? Laughable. On every level. Ask Shazier if Sammy is soft. He's battled ribs, groin, and hip injuries all year and we haven't seen his power game as a result. But soft? There are a ton of players that wouldn't even bother playing, let alone practicing, with those injuries. When he's limping and taking himself out of the game, it's because he's hurting. Coming back into the game, it's because he's a gamer and there for his teammates. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play on the boundary and in the slot. He's tough as nails and has great hands. He's just not a burner -- though he's got breakaway speed.

He's just not a burner -- though he's got breakaway speed. Sounds like he would be perfect for the slot, if we only had a guy like a Marquise Goodwin on the Bills, or even a Mike Williams of the Bills, to play on the outside. Other teams acquire different styles of receivers who complement each other as a positional "team" so QBs have different options and defenses have matchup problems. Why can't we do that?

Bookie Man Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yeah Sammy's about as soft as a steel freaking fist in a storm of ****! I've rewatched every game at least 5 times. Dude is almost always open vs man. Including yesterday on the pick that was intended for Chandler. Shouldn't ever be used as a decoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Watkins was awesome yesterday in 2nd half. If only they'd have found a way to get him singled up on Brad Roby sooner. He had at least one jaw dropping catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
