Dude you scammed us all with this last time.  You’re a fraud.

I think he means that his cousin’s mom is taking them to McDonalds and then go carting.  He’s not supposed to know - it’s a surprise, so shhhhh.

Interesting I haven't seen any buffalo/Rochester media people say anything about this 

I’m not saying I think this will happen or want this to happen. But no local WNY media said or knew anything about Trubisky either. Just saying.

I keep reading this Narrative on him and looking for video to prove this Narrative but other then not running back to a QB which is a common trade for #2 or worse Receivers, I cant find it.

Maybe the narrative isn’t fair, but his career accomplishments make him seem like an underachiever. He’ll go off for over 200 yards and 3 TD’s one game, but go completely silent for the rest of the season. There’s enough catches to go around in the KC offense for Sammy to always get a few. Every season he has a great game followed by being invisible. I don’t know what else I can attribute that to. Somehow he managed to magically show up in the playoffs for KC as well. I get the take that the opposition eliminates him, so Mahomes picks other options. However, I don’t understand why a fifth overall draft choice vanishes for the majority of games he plays.

Why do I keep seeing comments about Mack? Is really potentially available or are these just pipe dreams?

People thought he might have been one of the 2 defensive starters offered by the bears to the Seahawks in the RW trade but it turns out it was hicks and fuller

His “cousin” told us LeVeon Bell was signing here last year, IIRC.

 

Found it:

take this for what it's worth but my cousin said Bell chose us and now it's just figuring out the contract situation 

 

Dude should be banned.

Bottom line:  TSW thread tracking Pegula jet broke the story.  Well done!  😁

I think my first bolded on this is also highly opinionated so I wont respond to that. Also there is no video to my recollection of him not finishing plays or routs. There was times he did not come back to the QB in need and heck.. that was well documented with even Brown last year.  Some would call making it to the NFL level a success because how many teams even now don't have a true #1 WR?  As to your opinion of him playing for money? I don't know where you get that or where it has ever been documented that he just plays for money.

 

We got a second round draft pick out of him that indeed helped us get Josh Allen. Was Darby a bad culture fit also? I don't think so? They get a 3rd round pick for Darby then they all the picks we got to trade for there people. They wanted an immediate detachment of what was built. They wanted a better QB and a QB for the defense. Without trading who we traded they could not do what they did and we would not have Josh Allen and Edmunds.

 

 

SO Bottom line.. Just answer this.. Would Sammy Watkins improve this WR roster? I doubt anyone can say no and as for any "Maturaty issues or Loafing as you put it? Pretty sure Diggs would put a stop to that in a hurry"  Just remember, when players don't do there job on the field by giving up on plays or taking plays off.. 

 

This is the same WR receiver that did this 

Exposed Sherman.

Watkins immaturity and lack of effort while he was here is something he admitted himself.  It's not my opinion its reality.

 

There are two very well written Tyler Dunne articles about Sammy that outline that he was more interested in partying while he was here than he was playing football.   See below.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2889029-what-sammy-watkins-believes

 

So yes, I am telling you signing Watkins wouldnt improve the WR roster because improving the roster goes beyond just adding talent.   Thankfully our front office understands that well.

It's almost like people don't remember the history Watkins had in Buffalo.

 

ZERO percent chance he is in Buffalo.

 

Anyone can start a twitter account and post whatever they want

Sure except this account has over 13k followers including the director of PR for the Bills

People forget that Watkins had top 5 yards per game stats of all of our WRs. He wasn’t bad. He still has talent left in the tank. It would be a good WR3-5 signing. 
 

1. Diggs

2. Sanders

3. Beasley

4. Davis 

5. Watkins 

 

Talk about stacked.

Two positives IF Sammy were to sign:

1) Talent level in the WR room will be the best the Bills have ever had. 
2) I can pull a jersey out of moth balls. 
 

One negative:

1) He’s as loopy as they come.

 

I don’t care if he doesn’t believe in gravity, I just want the most talents WRs we can find. Watkins still has talent, even if injury prone. He was nearly our leader in yards per game until Diggs came along. People hate Watkins because of his draft position and pressure to live up to it. He would be a fantastic WR3-5 if we got him.

Could of changed. 

 

Know a person who was super heavy like that. Had everything lined up for that person. But 8 months sober from everything and building it right.  People do change.

 

But trusting McDermott and Beane on this. If they feel he is a fit and change person, less then 4 mil i'll be for it.

 

We're not in a place where we have an extra $4M here, extra there to toss around. 

 

We also don't have extra roster spots and an extra ball.  We need to find playing time for last year's draft choices, 2019's TE, RB, and this year's draft choices.

If he's the "director of PR" wouldn't it be part of his job to follow accounts which might say stuff so he can "shift the narrative" as needed?

 

I can't see it as an endorsement of credibility.

Anybody that claims to have “sources” and if it doesn’t work out should get penalized. Even worse if they continue to do it. 

 

Lets discuss cruel measures.

 

ok -I’ll start. 

 

Let’s serve him wings w/ ranch dressing. 

 

Setting the bar high here. You go.

The "loopy" part becomes a practical problem if you got a guy who doesn't believe the advice he gets from doctors, trainers, etc

eg takes his walking boot off against medical advice, doesn't come to his rehab meetings because what do those guys know etc.

I’d like to be optimistic and hope he has matured some, but I dunno. I just personally think he has enough talent left to warrant a small contract to round out our WRs core. 

Honestly if we escaped the offseason with 1. Diggs 2. Sanders 3. Beas 4. Davis 5. Watkins. TE Ertz , We very well could go undefeated.

How many targets does a #5 WR get? A guy like that will primarily be a special teams contributor and only occasionally get on the field on offense.

 

No, I don't think it moves the needle much. Watkins has always been terribly inconsistent. And he doesn't fit the team or culture.

Its Friday.... im bored at work... thanks for the read everyone LOL im all about redemption stories, but i just cant see it.  McD has always been the hardest working guy in any room, since high school.  Him and Sammy were at odds, and in hindsight its cause he was lazy/stupid.  Sammy did 2 diff interviews talking about negative energy from McD.... you know what, i believe that part!  Could you imagine Seans attitude towards a guy he sees not buying in, that comes in hungover every day, cutting his damn cast off high or drunk on whatever?  I mean seriously picture that interaction with the two! 

 

Sean seems like your best friend when youre grinding and doing what youre supposed to, flip side has gotta be true for someone he sees as giving half effort in the middle of a culture change LOL!  I shudder picturing McD gritting his teeth trying to work with someone like that.  Hell, im about to close out TBD and get back to work for fear of Sean being over my shoulder when I turn around ✌️

People’s heads gonna explode when Beane signs both Watkins and Clowney.  Does Tampa make their playoff run without Suh and Fournette?  Does KC win Super Bowl without Watkins in 2019?  You need talented guys to step up to win it all because the best teams can take your best players out of games.  Ain’t gonna win a championship with all choir boys.  And it’s not like Watkins is a bad citizen.

I irrationally love Sammy. Total weirdo and can’t stay healthy but there’s a reason good teams want him. If you can get him at a vet minimum, why not roll the dice? And the fact he is only 27 is so insane.
