The idea that everyone is gorgeous in LA. One of the worlds greatest myths. It all depends where you choose to throw that tennis ball up. "soft" is the key word in that paragraph.

What has the best player on our team ever won in his career?

From those quotes Rams fans make all of us here sound like geniuses.

Don't you think that work ethic and character might go hand in hand?

Who do you think Jared Goff is?

Barkley would have been a number one pick if he didn't stay too long. Even Darnold runs that risk. Injuries are always a concern as well. I'm not saying that you're incorrect, I just think that it wouldn't be in his best interest to stay.

I've always felt like TT plays just as well or better without Sammy. He looked pretty good with Sammy sidelined last year. Feeding Sammy may be one less thing for TT to worry about.

I don't think he will, but good question. Darnold would be stupid to stay in school if he meets expectations this season. I would hope he learned something from fellow USC QB Barkley. I like Luke Falk as well. Jackson is the bust of this draft. He'll either change position or end up like Tebow.

Or you could look at the 7-9 Jauron years from a different angle. We were able to go 7-9 with a team complete void of talent. During the Whaley years we went 7-9 with teams loaded up on talent. Jauron's teams could be viewed as overachievers while Whaley's teams could be viewed as talented yet lazy teams.

You, me and no other fans are in the locker room, so we don't know if he did the right things. I'm just saying that it's possible he was diva locker room problem. There is no way I can prove that I'm right, it's just a theory. There is also no way to prove I'm wrong. Just throwing ideas out there. He was talking to me because he said "keep working ya little job for the rest of your life" that's what I'll have to do. Hopefully he's good with his money or he'll have to work his entire life too. It shows arrogance and disconnect from real society aka diva.

Yep, nothing shows intelligence and leadership better than insulting an entire group of people because a few members of said group (working class) insult you.

I think if had the early success and NYC spotlight of Beckham he could have been at that level, minus the Josh Norman fights. I wouldn't be shocked by behind the scenes drama with Sammy in the least. He wants to be a star. Buffalo was a downgrade from the spotlight that shined on him with college football. He said all the right things about being here, but I'll never be convinced that he wanted to be here.

bigger members? Ha, At least something gave me a laugh today. It took me a moment to figure out what you really meant since I'm tired. I have Sammy fatigue. Btw I completely trust that source from some things I've heard as well.

My thoughts exactly. Sammy is nothing more than a marketing tool on the Bills. It allows some fans to feel like we have a "superstar". This philosophy hasn't worked for the last 17 years. Lets not burn down the gates of Rome because we are trying something new.

Maybe they tried, and couldn't find an offer they wanted until now.

LeSean has a lot to say. I couldn't care less about any of it. That's why I'm not too concerned about his recent Matthews remarks. He's a great RB, but never the most tactful guy.

Personally I don't think that the locker room cancer theory is likely either. I'm still not going to say it's completely impossible. It's more likely that the coaching staff didn't see eye to eye with Sammy. There is a great deal of politics and interpersonal communication in play at every workplace. Anything is possible. Injuries and economics are more likely reasons for this trade imo.

Interesting theory. It is definitely plausible, but I tend to believe that the option was declined with the idea of moving on.

Outside of the rare cases like TO, how often does stuff leave the locker room? Players generally don't go around talking crap about each other to the media. I'm not saying this was an issue with Watkins. I just want to make the point that fans know very little about what happens in the locker room.

If Sammy becomes one of the top recievers in the game and we become a playoff team I'd be happy. The outcome of this trade all depends on what we get from the 2018 draft. If it improves our team, it was a success. If we continue to linger in mediocrity then it is a failure.

That's where I'm at. Goff to Watkins doesn't strike much fear in me. That's what we forget as fans. We only think about on field production and potential. There are so many things that we don't see. We have no idea what kind of guy Sammy is.

I understand your fear of such power being placed in inexperienced hands. It is something that I have found concerning as well. Beane and McD will leave Buffalo behind as an utter disaster, or they will be the best thing to happen to this franchise. This is a real boom or bust regime imo. The only thing that comforts me is that we can't really hit rock bottom. We already have a 17 year playoff drought. I find it difficult to be up in arms over the loss of Sammy (or any player) on a team that was going nowhere. Beane and McD think they are building for the future. Their plan may or may not work. We don't have much to lose as the present offers little hope. I understand where many posters are coming from. I'm just viewing this through a different lens. P.S. Here is your original quote "Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the Bills mess this up. My biggest fear is that they use a bunch of capital to move up and take the wrong guy at QB." I guess you never said they "will" take the wrong QB, you're just "pretty sure".

Thanks for chiming in with your abrasive remark. Purposely argumentive? I'm on a message board having a conversation. I'm just having a discussion. It's fair to think it's a deep QB class, and that we might happy with several of them. Apparently none of you can comprehend that idea. We could have Rosen,Darnold,Allen, and Falk entering the draft. I like them all. Sadly, many with posters I guess your eyes are only for one.

I didn't take anything out of context, but live your fantasy. I replied to your statement regarding the Bills taking the wrong QB. You love the Bills as much as anyone, but have a strong bias against the new regime.

There are tons of big time QB's who were taken as the third QB or later. Next years QB class could be historically deep.
