Real McClappy Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) And the diffeence is that the Patriots have an OK QB to make a move like that. But you want to double down on Whaley's draft day blunder and pay Watkins serious cash all the while we still don't have what we need under center. Also......we got a 2nd along with Gaines. The 2nd rd equates to nothing at this point and time as we will have to waste another 1st or 2nd soon for a true #1 WR down the row. I'm not paying $$$$ Watkins crap nor are you? When we do get what we need under center everyone will whine we need a #1WR which we had a elite one at that who still has 10 years left in his career most likely. There is not one single person on this board that will convince me this wasn't a boneheaded typical Bills move, Have fun with the draft picks that miss 50% of the time. Even if we do draft a good one we are too cheap or stupid to retain them as the next coaching marvel has the "NEW Plan". I normally get very excited for a change of HC and support them fully. Screw that....... Edited August 15, 2017 by Real McCoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 They are worse than Bills fans. At least some of us were/are athletes. True, they were team managers that got cut from the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00tabaga Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Sammy FA 18 Darby FA 19 6th ---for--- Mathews FA 18 Gaines FA 18 2nd 3rd Clear vision... 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd & 3rd in 2018. We've been waiting for this. Edited August 15, 2017 by r00tabaga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Murica Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Sammy Darby 6th ---for--- Mathews Gaines 2nd 3rd They only know who Sammy Watkins is out of the 4 players involved, I would bet on that. I doubt they could name anyone else on the roster outside of Incognito, Shady, and Tyrod. So, they're going basically on name recognition I.E. "I've heard of that guy! why would they trade him for draft picks!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedboy7 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 It doenst make much sense to most people other than the majority of the posters here who claim this is "tanking". Of course the media doesnt know anything neither does espn of this guy or that guy UNLESS you are a Bills fan then you know everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw that....... There could be tons of reasons to move him... injury risk, expiring contract and reluctance to use franchise tag, wants too much money, doesn't want to play here, selfish and doesn't care about winning, diva attitude, not a hard worker, clashes with fans, clashes with media, drama etc... I've never met the guy sooooo it's hard to say what impression he left on beanie and McDermott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Turtle Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Did they note that ownership is not Ralph Wilson anymore? If you don't trust your GM to find talent then Pegula might as well sell the team and let them move. Pick a lane. Either you build through the draft, or build through free agency. There is no option C. Drafting Watkins wasn't building through the draft? And if they don't spend the money on Watkins (or Taylor, who we'll cut when we draft our Azor Ahai QB next draft), who are they going to spend it on? Free Agents? Is that option C? Dumping elite talent for no good reason isn't the way to build a winner in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Did they make any mention how the ills were top 10 in scoring last year with Sammy only playing eight games and having 430 yards and two touchdowns?

Thunderstealer Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Wilbon & Kornheiser make absolutely no sense to me, either. Interesting! The have a great show and terrific chemistry but no research is done for any topic they speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I've watched that show about 5 times and every time, Kornheiser waves that flag thing at the end of the show. Why does he do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never met the guy sooooo it's hard to say what impression he left on beanie and McDermott. All good points especially the first 2 you mention. Obviously the GM thinks that the draft choices and players in return for the 2 deals make the team better over the longer haul and the GM is working with a lot more information than the rest of us and the media.

Buffalo86 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 It's hard to understand because the Bills are actually valuing draft picks for the first time in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw that....... They didn't have an 'Elite' WR, they had an often injured one with the Potential/Hype that one day he could be an Elite One When Healthy. And with how often Watkins is always fighting an injury, theres no guarantee he will "have 10 years left in his career". And good for you that no one can convince you it was a good move, there are still people here who can't be convinced that the earth isn't flat, or that man has walked on the moon either May I suggest joining some of the other and rooting for Sammy and his Rams instead? I hear they could use help filling the new LA Stadium soon..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
