John from Riverside Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 What exactly did he say wrong here...... You think he doesnt hear people talking about him when they compare to other receivers of that draft? GET HIM OPEN.....THEN USE HIM
Coach Tuesday Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Fine but GET YOURSELF ONTO THE FIELD. Can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket.
Boatdrinks Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Look it up, statistically, he is currently the 6th best WR from last year's draft class. He needs to produce before running his mouth. The guy can't produce without the targets. He's probably the sixth most targeted WR from that draft . He's way better than 6 th best in talent.
sjjr Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 A true diva...this is why drafting a WR in the top 5 is always a headache. This obviously needs to be said....but not to a reporter. Very unfortunate that he called out the QBs and coaches. He does need more targets, but he also needs to be on the field more too.
Not at the table Karlos Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 What exactly did he say wrong here...... You think he doesnt hear people talking about him when they compare to other receivers of that draft? GET HIM OPEN.....THEN USE HIM he has been open since day one. the problem isn't him getting open its him being wide open and the ball not coming to him. same thing with Robert woods he is also open a lot and doesn't get the ball.

We gotta feed him!!!
LeGOATski Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Fine but GET YOURSELF ONTO THE FIELD. Can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket. Of course he was hurt, but I don't see how this applies. He's/We're talking about what has occurred when he's on the field. Orton was best at giving him opportunities, I think. It paid off.
NoSaint Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Not a good look at all perception-wise, but he's not wrong. He's the best player on the field and needs the ball. he was pretty reasonable about it, if you are going to go down that route. if he starts throwing fits, id have an issue... but todays quote doesnt bother me.
ToGoGo Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Read the full article. Love the confidence and candidness. Some fans just can't ever handle it. It touches some sort of insecurity.

billsfan714 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Hopkins from Houston has put up good numbers last year and into this year with Fitzy, Hoyer and Mallet throwing to him.....I agree get him the ball. Edited October 15, 2015 by billsfan714

It touches some sort of insecurity. everyone clamors for candidness, and then freaks out if its not coachspeak. its interesting to watch that dynamic.
FireChan Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 and hes getting open. What is wrong with our coaching staffs? Two different regimes, same problems. Travis Benjamin is getting more targets than Sammy and he was a glorified kick returner before this season.

If you agree with him: he's honest and has conviction. If you don't agree with him: he's being a diva.

FireChan Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) If you agree with him: he's honest and has conviction. If you don't agree with him: he's being a diva. You can be honest and be a diva. Saying he wants the ball more is fine. Saying that he's open and can make plays and wants to be targeted more is fine. Saying "you're making me look bad" is bad form. Especially in this day and age, when it's definitely gonna be the headline. Edited October 15, 2015 by FireChan
johnwalter Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 when i said "Not a good look." i wasn't making the point that he is either right or wrong, i was more making the point that this isn't the kind of ammunition you give to reporters. You can be honest and be a diva. Saying he wants the ball more is fine. Saying that he's open and can make plays and wants to be targeted more is fine. Saying "you're making me look bad" is bad form.

sjjr Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Hate the Cheatriots and Belichek but would Sammy ever be able to say something like that to a reporter in New England and get away with it in that clubhouse? Football is a team game and winners don't go to the media with stuff like this.

Especially in this day and age, when it's definitely gonna be the headline. Sure, I agree. He must be getting some kind of vague answer from the coaches when he's addressed this with them. Hate the Cheatriots and Belichek but would Sammy ever be able to say something like that to a reporter in New England and get away with it in that clubhouse? Football is a team game and winners don't go to the media with stuff like this. Probably not, but Sammy wouldn't have this problem in the NE offense.
Kelly the Dog Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 everyone clamors for candidness, and then freaks out if its not coachspeak. its interesting to watch that dynamic. Well put. I see nothing wrong with what he said. But regardless of whether it was his fault or not, part of his problem has been him being hurt. One of the reasons they didn't throw as many bubble screens to him last year (more targets) was because of his rib injury in the first half of the season. I don't have a problem with what he said at all but he probably shouldn't have said it right now when he hasn't been on the field for two weeks.
