Sammy Watkins: New Teams, Same Bad Attitude


Recommended Posts

It's depressing being a Flat-Earther.

It also affects his production. Any go route could be your last.

 

It would make anyone a bit tentative. I can remember him getting tackled before reaching the endzone for no other reason than he was getting a little nervous, he had been running for a while at that point. He couldn't be sure that he was looking at the goal line, it could the edge of the world. Why risk it?

This tells me differently.

 

 

How can you call someone out for getting upset when down 24 nothing in a game they are meant to win?

we could still be playing. 

 

Not following logic there.

The trade off was more letting Woods and Goodwin walk in FA, then drafting Zay.

 

Watkins wasn’t traded until August, well after the draft and the Zay Jones pick, and he was traded for a defensive player.

I wonder if Ram fans feel that way. Could of won the super bowl and made the playoffs this year with that impact difference maker out there

Wonder what  kind of super bowl ring they give a decoy. Maybe one with cubic zirconium?


7 catches for 114 yards isn’t decoy material

I feel they assumed they could replace Watkins production with Zay and it was a huge whiff that we are still paying for with an insufficient offense.

Again 1/16 ain't bad right?

That’s certainly possible, but from the timing I feel it was more likely Zay was supposed to replace Woods and Goodwin and Watkins was more a pawn to improve the defense

 

The point is valid that the totality of the moves was an offensive downgrade we haven’t recovered from

I shake my head at the hate for Watkins.  He was very solid as a rookie, a 1,000 yard receiver year 2 & 8 games in his third.  He caught almost everything thrown to him & unfortunately had a low % of targets.  

 

The new FO & Coaching Staff decided to gut the offense & never gave a decent answer as to why they did that. 

 

They haven't recovered since and some of us wonder why the hate for an exciting offense.

Haven’t recovered? How many playoff games did Sammy lead us in?

Technically 2/17. He was the best WR in the NFL week 1 with almost 200 yards and 3 TDs and then he didn't score again all season until today. Sammy's a weird player.

Trust the process....

 

Sammy is the difference? Try again.

How did I know we would see these posts?

 

Watkins is never healthy and is mostly an afterthought in the KC offense.

 

He got some looks today cause the Titans focused on the speed guys and Kelce...good for him.

 

Still wouldn't want him on my team for the production at his salary

So what's the problem?  It's good that he listened to his teammate when he pointed it out.

90 yards last week 

114 yards today  

 

looks just fine to me, and we wouldn’t need to trot no name bums as wr3 all season long.   

Don't quite agree with the no name bums part.  You're talking about the 3rd WR.  Is there a team that has Julio, Hopkins and Cooper?

I still like Duke and McKenzie.  I do hope we draft a big WR but an offseason where we don't replace almost all of our offensive roster would tell us what we have.  I think people have forgotten that fact.  I expect everyones performance to improve next season.

Agree. So he's not a leader, not everyone is. Good production these last two key games. Not worth the elite dollars but a really good receiver nonetheless. I just don't see the need to demonize the guy because he didn't work out here in Buffalo.

I mean, Julio’s depth chart had Ridley and sanu 

 

today we saw Tyreek, Kelce and a plethora of guys better than our 3

 

Hopkins has fuller and stills (not great but...)

Definitely agree.  People will look for any reason they can to beat up on the guy.  His stat sheet would be off the charts with just about any other team.  KC really spreads the ball around to it's WRs.  The #1 guy in that O is also the TE.

Kelce is a TE.

Sanu is not on the Falcon's and that makes me want to end this discussion now.

I will humor you though as their #3 WR is some guy I've never heard of.

 

Russell Gage, is that a household name and I'm just ignorant.

To accent your point: any of Ridley, Sanu, Fuller, Stills, or Watkins would certainly vie for the WR1 spot on Buffalo’s roster

Like the Rams?

 

I like Sammy a lot and agree with the argument that he's a still a weapon that this team needs, but he's never going to be that #1 guy. I don't know if it's all between the ears, or his injuries, or some combination of the two but it's not happening. I don't doubt that he could be the most skilled #3 in the league though (I'm assuming Kupp is no longer really a 3).

what’s funny too is he was like the the 4th option on that TD play he had today. Mahomes has all day and everyone else was covered. Don’t get me wrong— it was a nice catch and route (and gorgeous throw), but he is not out there against the other team’s no. 1 CB as the no. 1 option. 
 

KC is a great spot for him where he can be in line after about 5 or 6 other better and more consistent weapons.
