Reed83HOF Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 If any of this is true about Sammy, Doug Whaley should be gone ASAP. He gave away the store to get Sammy, and that kind of mistake (as well as others) should cost him his job. This should happen.Woods is not a WR#2 and you lost a season...

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Whaley is starting to look really bad. Gives up a boatload in arguably the best WR draft ever, to go up and get a guy that is currently the 4-6 best receiver in the draft. If we stand put we have our choice between ODB and Benjamin. There are too many good wide receivers nowadays to be giving up that much for any one of them unless you have an established playoff team with a good QB in place.

stevewin Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Maybe he can Ronnie Lott the part of his foot that hurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 There is no report that the foot did not heal properly, there is a report that it's still causing him pain/discomfort. Watkins chose a career which requires tough men to play hurt. Everyone plays hurt in the NFL; that's the standard. If Watkins is incapable of meeting that standard, then he is a kitty. That's all anyone can say about him. this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When healthy, he's the best of all of them. He's still very young and will probably put up some huge seasons over the course of his career. It likely won't be this season, however. Julio Jones missed most of a season with basically the same injury, but clearly came back strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallskiWallski83 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 For real? Yes. Tyrod and Sammy we're fantastic fantasy producers the second half of last year and both were valued lower then that production, in my mind they were great values and bills I like to root for. Win win I thought. Fml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 agreed...he's got more talent than all those guys bad luck with health...worse luck with crappy QBing and coaching even those guys had health issues - KB missed a season, and OBJ missed a chunk right out of the gate.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 @RapSheet #Bills WR Sammy Watkins, feeling pain in his foot, had X-Rays sent to Dr. Anderson for review, as @MMehtaNYDN said. It’s structurally sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Dang this blows if true. I did a ton of research on Jones Fractrues after looking at the timeline for his surgery and recovery time. Shame, I was mostly laughed at on the board for being an NNN. Also wanted them to address the WR position to help avoid a throw away season if Sammy's foot had any follow up issues. Blah week two and now this....garbage, waited all damn offseason for some Bills football we deserve better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet #Bills WR Sammy Watkins will likely have to play through pain this year. Nothing surgically to do. #Bills don’t plan on shutting him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 my fully healthy foot does not cause me pain/discomfort, so i am guessing something is not currently on track.He's on the part of the track where pain/discomfort is normal as part of his recovery; but there is no longer any injury, so he can play.

I think when healthy I might take Benjamin over him right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's just a pain management issue, then what are you talking about? @RapSheet At one point last night, the #Bills thought Sammy Watkins had re-broken his foot or the screw. Not the case. Now it’s pain management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the case. Now its pain management. Sammy will not be 100%, Sammy will not play 16 games with a full workload. This will get worse before it gets better if he stays running around on it. They should give him the short week off and see if it improves any by week 3. If they have him running around again on Thursday id be surprised, well maybe not.
