26CornerBlitz Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 @TheBuffaloNews The newest member of the Bills, @sammywatkins, answers a question about whether he likes snow http://video.buffalonews.com/?video=3548569172001 … pic.twitter.com/Ib2RNknclX
Tiberius Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Was it one Thurman "Nuclear" Thomas? We have Ronnie Harmon and don't need a half back! this Thurman Thomas pick is horrible! Didn't. He have knee surgery??
Beerball Posted May 9, 2014 Author Posted May 9, 2014 Anyone see a comment from marrone? Is he in that war room picture? Front row, second from the left resting his chin in his hand.
Beebes Bubble Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 No, not really. That aside, I'm happy that they did not give up any other 14 picks. Now, while I fully support this trade, if Watkins can live up to a #1 WR billing, what kind of delusional world do you live in where a #1 next year is not a #1 pick that was given up? Is this the "new" math I have been hearing about?
please stop the pain Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Saw a great quote today that I think applies to our pick: A ship in harbor is safe; but that's not what ships are for. It would be nice to have 2 ships just in case the one ship gets damaged
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I don't understand how next year's 1st round pick keeps being transmuted into being "like a 2nd round pick". Unless every other team has traded away next year's 1st round pick and due to some unusual coincidence every team somehow misplaces them. In this case I would assume that the first round would be skipped and they start in the second round. That would make next year's 1st round pick like a 2nd round pick......wait this makes absolutely no sense either. 2nd try: No one at any position in the 1st 32 picks next year would benefit our team at all because they will suck so bad, so I will be ever so happy that the Bills won't have one of those losers on the team next year. I hope the bills turn out to be smarter than I think they are. Nailed it...... I think...... Nevermind
BuffaloBillsForever Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 OMG! Next years #1 & #4 Who dares wins? Cleveland continuing with building that dynasty. Like this move for both clubs honestly. Watkins is a beast.
Nitro Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 We have Ronnie Harmon and don't need a half back! this Thurman Thomas pick is horrible! Didn't. He have knee surgery?? Good one. That is TBD mindset.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 When you get a chance, the article is linked here on the front page at twobillsdrive. Just tell that nagging part of you, "Yes. Really!" GO BILLS!!! Don't see the link, would really appreciate a repost. His skills dwarf Williams. Anyone who compares the two is selling you something. Really? Name for me the things that Sammy Watkins does that Mike Williams cannot. Please. This is a sincere request. I've been looking over Mike Williams tape, and I have been nothing but impressed. I don't mind a 1-2 punch, but I still don't see a clear #1.
It's in My Blood Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 If the Bills record next season is less then 8-8, goodbye Whaley and coaches. Worst trade I have seen the Bills make. Either your 12 or drunk. Remember the Rob Johnson trade?
Deranged Rhino Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Don't see the link, would really appreciate a repost. Really? Name for me the things that Sammy Watkins does that Mike Williams cannot. Please. This is a sincere request. I've been looking over Mike Williams tape, and I have been nothing but impressed. I don't mind a 1-2 punch, but I still don't see a clear #1. He blocks better than Williams, he runs better routes, he has a faster first step and arguably better hands. He's also internally motivated which Williams has not shown in his career so far.
K-9 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Don't see the link, would really appreciate a repost. TBD has really filled up with new articles so this was easy to miss. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/university-at-buffalo/jay-skurski-weighs-in-from-new-york-on-the-bills-acquisition-of-sammy-watkins-20140508 GO BILLS!!!

Even if they don't, Seattle and San Fran. didn't have a clear #1 and most people think they were the 2 best teams.
WotAGuy Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Haven't looked at all 400+ posts to see if this has been posted yet, but it is pretty surprising to me: Q: What was the biggest difference between him and the next receiver on your board? DW: I wouldn’t say there was that much. Obviously there is a difference and that is why we coveted Sammy. Not to give any particulars, there wasn’t that much of a difference. To give up a # 1 and # 4 next year for a guy that "wasn't much difference" compared to the next WR is surprising. You'd think Whaley would have promoted Watkins as being head and shoulders above the next WR (pun intended).

It was a little dry, but I'm sure it will be fleshed out as time goes on. The more I see, the more I suspect that this year is playoffs or bust considering our ownership situation. GO BILLS!!!

What purpose does it serve dw to trash (future free agents) other prospects just to assuage those fans here who feel they gave up too much? Its unnecessary and bad for business.

Next WR went before #9, so the question you have to ask is how much better he is than the #3 guy, and was the trade worth that difference
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 It would be nice to have 2 ships just in case the one ship gets damaged Then 3 ships would be better than 2 ships, and 4 ships would be better than 3 ships... Man this could go on forever.
metzelaars_lives Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I am sincerely looking forward to Bill from NYC trying to convince everyone every Sunday afternoon for the next five years that Sammy Watkins isn't good even though he is.
