(Assuming he's right about the situation.) I've got a huge problem with "I need X number of targets." It's a selfish attitude that points to a guy who wants a big payday and not a guy who wants to win or help his team. Not when him getting those targets is best for the team. I've said it often but he's a dynamic playmaker and your team is better off when you feed those guys the ball. Using him as a decoy is not best for this team long term, even if it might work some weeks.
YoloinOhio Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 The title is a little misleading because it was his agent, not him, that said to the Bills "you're making me look bad"
34-78-83 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Love what he said and that he said it. It's all true. Hopefully he can stay on the field.
K-9 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Not a good look at all. The fact he has involved his agent raises a huge red flag for me, too. Sammy may have an agenda. GO BILLS!!!

They said that one reason they signed Harvin was so that it would open things up more for Sammy. Instead, Sammy opened things up for Harvin when he was out there. if QBs like Fitz and Hoyer, Bortles, Carr, etc can target their #1 WRs 10+ times a game, so can Taylor.

truth on hold Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 He's just expressing the attitude a top WR needs, like Antonio brown: Antonio Brown tells Mike Vick to 'trust me,' says 'I do need the ball' http://mweb.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25340935/antonio-brown-tells-mike-vick-to-trust-me-says-i-do-need-the-ball
BuffaloBillsForever Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I'm not a fan of the trade up to use two first round picks to acquire Sammy Watkins. Now I am beginning to be not a fan of the player. Edited October 15, 2015 by BuffaloBillsForever

Brown is correct.
Captain Caveman Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I wouldn't have a problem with this if he could go a couple of games without getting hurt.

And the agent spin is always negative here but heaven forbid a 22 year old uses a professional advisor to help shape his professional career.

You right Lets B word about the fact that he doesnt have ODB stats then Lets B word that he is bitching about the lack of opportunities to have ODB stats Def a lose/lose for Sammy Watkins to you.

I'm slightly skeptical that this is just about money, though clearly even if it is, if he earns a paycheck like megatron we should be thrilled. Edited October 15, 2015 by NoSaint
John from Riverside Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Just something to consider here This is a Rex Ryan team......where he allows players to openly express their thoughts and YES....it is making him look bad. You dont use 2 1st round picks for a "decoy"

Also note that Brown is an actual productive veteran, not an up and comer. Edited October 15, 2015 by FireChan
LeGOATski Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I'm surprised we're not blaming Rex, yet. This candidness is obviously a product of the Rex Effect. Oh, you beat me to it!
