PromoTheRobot Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I halfway don't blame him. How many players piss their talents away, or have it pissed away for them by the team they play for? The red, white & blue circus the Ryan Bros. ran would make anyone despondent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) Haters be haters. When you got a talent like that, we should've used him more. I'm glad he spoke out, because we sure as heck didn't use him until he spoke up! If he didn't, we'd be using him less. Sometimes you have to speak out. It was only after he spoke out TT began throwing to him, even when its 50/50 balls. And Sammy was going up and grabbing them. That's when their relationship turned out far more productive. I'm glad HE SPOKE UP. Well be better SPEAK UP in LA too because hes on pace for an "elite" 800yd season. And now people cant say "if he only had a real QB". He has a #1 overall pick at QB, something so many people here keep pining for. Edited October 6, 2017 by bobobonators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Methinks I hear some, " Told you so!" Coming down the pike. should that be processed into the crow eaters thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAZ Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I wonder if he referred to himself in the 3rd person in the locker room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elroy16 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) This is probably what Hogan was talking about when he signed with NE. Oh well, the trade makes more sense now. I'm curious to see what happens if they start losing and he doesn't see more targets. Edited October 6, 2017 by elroy16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Well damn I guess we know why he was traded. Sean don't play that kind of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I just saw this in the other thread after you posted this.. I didn't post this link in the other thread.You thought he knew that you knew that he knew. But what I didnt know is that he knew you knew that.

cba fan Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Did you not read the quote? He said he was more concerned with his performance than the team winning. That seems contradictory to what you are saying. I worded it a little off. Yes Watkins saying what he said and meaning it is disturbing and goes beyond the regular "I want to perform thinking" I typed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HT02 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'm very impressed that he recognized his bad behavior and acknowledged that he shouldn't have done it. Good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 As I said in the OTHER THREAD, it was All About Sammy, All The Time. He only cared about how he looked. He didn't want Rex to force him to play through his injury last year, because it would make him look bad. When he did play, even though he was limping, he wanted to be targeted a lot, because otherwise he'd look bad. Even when they won a game, if he wasn't targeted enough (because he was limping, or because of the gamplan), he'd make noise in the locker room. Sounds like a real POS to me.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Sounds like a man that is a contract year. Once he gets paid he will go back to the same mentality that he had in Buffalo. Getting out ahead any Sam-me stuff that comes out in a contract year? Now that's an agent/player team that knows how to proactively position their product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 His direct quote is even more damning. There is no 'I' in TEAM Sammy but in your case, you found the 'ME'. I suspected he felt something like this but I'm glad he came out and admitted it. Maybe he'll mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 That is why he was traded. Makes sense now in hindsight. There were rumblings before, but most assumed it was just to make Buffalo look good by trading him. That trade combination makes alot sense. Both Matthews and Gaines have came in and started and played well, I think both those players will be targeted to be resigned. Add in the draft picks received they look like really shrewd moves.

Magox Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 It's not like he was loafing on the field or not trying to win. As you probably know, creating a real team is more than just playing talented players. There is more to the equation than just talent. And let's be real here, it's not as if he was putting up monster numbers or for that matter really good numbers on any sort of a consistent basis. When you factor in his injury history, attitude, lack of consistent production and what his own self-perceived value on the open market, the decision to trade him had lots of merit. He may end up being an all-world receiver who goes on to have an illustrious career but the reasoning to part ways with him was sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
