Sammy Watwins to KC on a 3 Year Deal


*******

Recommended Posts

I'm glad the Chiefs did this. It will give us something to quibble over until the Bills make another move we can talk about.

This is top 5 receiver money - based on production to date who can argue that he is anywhere near top 5 in production?

 

He is always looked at for his potential - when will that end?  I guess in a few years when KC is disappointed.

It will never end if the saying is true "There is a sucker born every minute".

 

But for me you never know. He could finally string together a few productive seasons at the top of his game. I hope so he hasn't been that big of ajerk that I don't wish him well.

 

I did suppose he would have to take a "show me" deal someplace before he got the big money though.

I'm just kidding............you don't even qualify to get wins and losses on this board...........you know absolutely zero about the game of football....you know that....... and are just here to argue and troll.    

 

Now being a Mets fan tho........THAT is just dumb.:lol:

 

How do you feel about McD being able to work with Rosen?

Him, Tyreke Hill, and Kelce on the same field is a matchup nightmare.

Yeah and now with Mahomes throwing the ball they dont have to worry about having the ability to push it downfield either..

 

Will open up space for Hunt underneath as well

Well, if it is $30M guaranteed, then it is 2 for $15M

Show me how ANY of this is true..or where you had this somewhere after the draft.or anything that points to this not just being made up conjecture

 

 

Whaley wanting a QB was put out there by Bills sources after the draft.......as a sort of "don't give him credit for this great trade, see what an idiot he is".......... and well before Watson had his historic start.   McD clearly orchestrated that entire draft and was even accused of stealing Carolina's board info.

 

The difference between the 4th pick and the 22nd pick is A LOT of value..........like 2 mid-round firsts.    And yes, even at the time the choice to trade with the combo of Andy Reid/Alex Smith versus Bill O'Brien/Tom Savage was perplexing.

 

It's nice to have friends to trade with but better to trade with the people who give you the best value.......and in this case the difference was VAST.

Why would it be better than Goff to Sammy worked out?

 

I never remember saying that it would.  However, I was speaking more to Mahommes big arm and risk taking down field going along with Sammy's hands and speed.

 

Guys, can we appreciate something from a football standpoint without it being a "woulda, coulda, shoulda" or ripping on a former Bill?

Obviously the majority think the trade with the Rams worked out well since Sammy is not worth 16 mill per year. I think so too. Notwithstanding that I think McBeane are good (as borne out by McD's Hyde and Poyer signing, the Cordy trade, Tyrod trade etc.) , it is also time to point out that they were wrong in not picking up Sammy's option. What would you rather have? Sammy at 11 mill or a late second rounder (from Rams)?

I just do not remember seeing this anywhere form anyone "credible"( i know, tough in this day and age). Of course in hindsight, if we had a deal with the Texans on the table, would have been great to have it. One maybe can assume they were offering, but I have not seen anything to support that was the case.

 

And i agree, the value NOW is vast. Count me in as one who thought at best KC was an 8-8 team last year, as we witnessed after the hot start.

Being a slave to the numbers weakens your analysis.  Watkins consistently drew coverage from opposing #1 CBs that opened up opportunities for other receivers. 

 

Ah, yes, the "decoy" argument.  It would be more credible if he caught more than 55% of the targets he got last 2 seasons.

In 2016, it was all Tyrod's fault, he's too inaccurate and throws wide or above Sammy.  In 2017, what's the reason?


Or is this just sarcasm and I missed it?

Hindsight, guys, can you really blame Marrone supposedly for walking out of the war room and slamming the door after the draft of Sammy?

 

I really can't.

I had no issue with the Sammy pick. I won’t pretend to think otherwise now. I did have an issue with the trade last year but it looks much better now. The 5th year option was the route that I would have went. They didn’t but got decent value back for a guy getting paid.

Yep. You were right and I was wrong. This is stunning. 

BTW, i thought Sammy would get $13M for 2, so i was wrong.

 

And I have been way wrong on a bunch of stuff lately..no way did I think the Bills could trade Tyrod , or Glenn, so I will just sit back and not make any declarations anymore!!!
