He can sure run, he can sure catch but he cannot do it at the same time. IMHO. 

 

The  ad thing is he only plays for money,  which is why he left. Short arms. 

He plays to look good, not to be good. Similar to Jarius Byrd.

He was their leading receiver during their super bowl championship. Talent has never been the problem. He is just made out of glass.

Was Rappaport on the ground doing pushups while reporting it from losing a "tiny tennis" match to Arnold in a wig??

He must have stepped off the edge of the earth by mistake.  Damn near fell off I heard too.

I was thinking along the same lines. There was a time where Buffalo was regarded as the end of the earth in NFL standards. Sammy might just think that’s still true...

I agree, talent is not the problem. Durability on the other hand has been. Watkins has always shown a somewhat unique ability to stop dead in his tracks from a full run. Myself personally, Sammy's body is not able to hold up under the kind of pressure/ punishment his mind is telling it to in my humble opinion Biscuit. Its to bad because Sammy's ability to adjust on the fly and size would fit well with Josh Allens long range laser cannon capabilities IMO

 

Plenty of heart and talent IMO...

Production has been a problem even when healthy.

I don’t think he’s really been healthy since he broke his foot here and rushed back. That is a killer injury for a receiver. Al Lucknow is every offense he has been on, in multiple places, has been among the best in the nfl. Obviously, he hasnt been what he was expected but good teams clearly value him.

He does. But the only way it made any sense he was coming here to be the 5th WR was if he had absolutely no market. It appears he does.

Nothing is ever set in stone IMO. Sammy Watkins has won a champonship and has an inside track on how Andy Reid runs an Offense. Watkins was a 3rd or 4th WR and became one of Mahomes favorite targets in the most important game the Chiefs ever played in the history of the franchise. Some would say MVP.   (minus Mahomes).

 

I'm just saying...

only bills fans would say he’s a 5th WR and not part of the 2-4 rotation though

Mahomes throws a lot to Kelce and Hill.  I don't think there are too many unknowns to his offense, it's just very hard to stop very good players.

Reids unique style of play calling combined with Mahomes ability to play short stop anywhere on the field leaves teams dumbfounded.

 

Good players for sure...

Morst of his injuries since he got to the Rams have been soft tissue - quads, calf, and hamstring. Incidentally, I don’t think he was supposed to play in this past SB because of the injury, but the route running by Hardiman and Pringle was so poor that they brought Sammy in late. There were at least three throws to the former two where it was clear that Mahomes felt they didn’t run to where they were supposed to be.

Either way - it's about playing time and opportunities. And there's no arguing with the type of WR core we already have that he'd get anywhere close to the amount of balls here that he would get almost anywhere else if everyone stayed healthy.

I think of Sammy and Dareus in the same way. Both have immense talent, both could’ve been in the top 3 at their positions. I believe Sammy still has elite talent, if he has a great offseason and can stay healthy he could be a force with Diggs. If Diggs work ethic rubs off on Sammy Allen could put up some amazing numbers.

He just tweeted to a fan asking if he would

come back to Buffalo and he replied you never know with a wink emoji. I really hope Beane and McD aren’t considering this

I'm not sure why anyone would think a healthy Sammy Watkins doesn't make Buffalo a better football team. I mean If the price is right Watkins is a good backup at the WR position just like Trubinsky is at the QB position.

 

Sammy Watkins adds good depth to whats becoming a position of strength IMO.

I’d like the Bills to bring Sammy in on a 1-year deal. He’s still relatively young, same age as Diggs (1993), and seems to have opened up and acknowledged his drug problems. He’s still injury prone but has acknowledged his partying ways contributed to this. Sammy’s career from here can go one of two ways; fade away or go the way Chris Carter’s went after he quit drinking in 1990.

Sammy comes to town, and a meteor lights up the skies of WNY this weekend...

 

I'm not saying that Sammy has some mystical power over space and time, but I'm not not saying it either. 


are you saying he’s Q?
