Doug Flutie Band Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Harvin is a good mentor for Watkins, since Watkins will have a career much like Harvin's - full of potential but ruined by being injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbalaya Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Sammy got hit by the I spoke too soon bug. Dude needs to play a few complete games before opening his trap again. He'd be dead if he got ten targets in a game. He is usually on the sidelines after two or three. Get on the field and play an entire game or STFU.

truth on hold Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately already. I don't think it was like this in college. Maybe it's time to ask if all these advanced training techniques, attention, and workouts at the pro level are doing more harm than good Edited October 19, 2015 by JTSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 His 1st two years have been injury prone. He was able to play through it most of last year. He still has a long career ahead of him, though. I don't get the point of trying to predict his future. A lot of players go through injury-plagued stints.

Chandler#81 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Take Manuel's inaccuracy out of the equation from both seasons and you're down to a calf injury trying to keep his feet in the end zone after making another spectacular catch.

KRT88 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I have already placed Sammy Watkins and the permanent marshmallow list. He's soft, and full of fluff. Looks good but really doesn't add anything because he can't stay on the field. Therefore he really isn't that useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjjr Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 He had injury issues at Clemson, especially during his sophomore season. That's what made Hopkins such a high pick that year. Not sure if he's injury prone, but he is definitely not the most durable guy either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsoldier54 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I said this last week after he spoke out and I got hammered for it. How about playing a full season before complaining about targets. Hard to target someone who isn't on the field and this guy gets hurt every time someone breathes on him. This time, nobody even touched him.

But that's just my opinion.. I'm not a big fan of Manuel, but that pass was fine. Moreover, it wasn't close to the white line,and he hurt his ankle long before the ball got there and not because of the throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) I've always defended him against accusations that he is injury prone, but I'm starting to worry. It's not even the number of injuries; it's the variety of them: ankle, calf, hip, glute, ribs. Manuel threw that where the window allowed Exactly. It was a perfectly fine, normal throw.

Kudos to him for playing through most of them, though. Most players play with nicks and scratches; but this guy has been hurt the entire time he's been a pro.

NOVABillsFan Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Sammy is only in his 2nd season. He played in all 16 games last season. Injury prone? In my opinion it is too early to say as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yup. Blaming Sally's injury on that pass is downright silly. But he had to reach waaaayyyyy down by the ground!

And he hurt his ankle as he went into his break, a good bit before the ball came near him. Yea I wouldn't blame the throw for the injury. Not sure if it's any fault of Sammy's either, he went to plant hard and his foot slipped and rolled over. It happens to lots of players. I suppose one could argue he has weak ankles or something but he's been fine planting and cutting before so I don't really think thats the issue. Just bad luck I think.

Southern Bills Fan Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Stop saying the pass caused his injury. Receivers in every game have to adjust to passes that are a little off line.
