Kelly the Dog Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 And if Orton was doing those 5-6 factors equal or better, where's the grounds for the threat? Funnily enough, Marrone would be chastised for being petty for benching a superior player for not marching to his drum. No he wouldn't. Pretty much everyone of the 10,000 members of this forum think Watkins should see the ball more. Besides, I don't think it is possible that Orton would defy them.

TheFunPolice Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 They HAD to have Watkins so much they spent THIS year's first as well for him. THEN they tell you he CANNOT do what other rookie WR's are doing: get open and make big plays. Why? Well, the D "rolled its coverage" LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 No he wouldn't. Pretty much everyone of the 10,000 members of this forum think Watkins should see the ball more. Besides, I don't think it is possible that Orton would defy them. Fair. But I think "defy" is a little strong. He doesn't have to say no, he just has to say he's not getting the protection to throw downfield. Which has a grain of truth, even though it's not valid. Or he can say, I didn't see him, I didn't think he was open enough etc. I think you're stretching here to blame the coaches. No chance Marrone is happy with the poor use of Watkins. I don't understand how the onus doesn't fall on the QB who refuses or is unable to look downfield and throw the ball. It's not like Watkins isn't on the field. It's not like there aren't plays that have his as the primary read. I would guarantee that there are many. At a certain point, when your QB has to choose who to throw to, he is consciously not picking Woods/Watkins enough. Hackett can't mic in and yell "WATKINS!!!" when he's in a clean pocket. Funnily enough, Orton gets all the credit when Watkins gets the ball, but the coaches get the blame when he doesn't. That rings a little hollow.

Bronc24 Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Those elusive WR screens tend to make your OL look a tad bit better, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsBytheBay Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 No doubt it does but Brandon Weeden led the league in receiving playing in only 14 games with Brandon Weeden throwing to him. I thought Eli was Beckham's QB?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaninATL Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 If Beckham was on the Bills instead of NY, we'd still have our #1 pick next year. And if February had more than 28 says, it would be July.....geese, stop with the myopia. If Beckham was on the Bills, he would have been misused also.
