chris heff Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Didn't Bruce usually skip half of training camp too? Funny, as soon as Bruce was mentioned the first thing that came to mind was this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 As long as he shows up to camp in shape and ready to play, this is meaningless. But if he shows out of shape or gets off to a slow start this season, this kind of thing will come back to haunt him. Its not the best look for him.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 That's all very disappointing. I was hoping he had a reason for missing beyond "I didn't feel like going." At least he's not injured. I'd like to see some leadership out of the guy though. I've read where other posters have referred to him being a leader, but I've never seen proof of it. Being the only player to miss voluntary workouts certainly points to the opposite. Posting a picture of himself on an all-nighter gambling at Hannah's while his teammates are all at those workouts is beyond stupid - and it is disrespectful to his teammates. If Watkins stays healthy and has a great season then nobody will care about stuff like this. But if he gets injured or doesn't have a great year, you can bet it will come back up. Nice summary... It's disappointing that he doesn't walk the talk... He's an exceptional athlete and player. But the NFL is full of them. Right now WRs drafted behind him who have outperformed him are working with their teams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 This compromises his "leadership" message from late last season. And nothing else. It's nice knowing (read: hoping) that we have a QB now who can/will communicate/set the tone for what is/isn't acceptable. Or so I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Nice summary... It's disappointing that he doesn't walk the talk... He's an exceptional athlete and player. But the NFL is full of them. Right now WRs drafted behind him who have outperformed him are working with their teams... Exactly. We all know that these voluntary workouts do little, if anything, as far as ultimate on-field production/results. But they do go a long way with team cohesiveness, as well as showing the fan base that they're taking it seriously. I never have been against the way Watkins was obtained and I will always think it was a good move on Whaley's part. I think Watkins is a great receiver who will likely put up excellent career numbers. But the guy is an absolute dick, as far as I'm concerned.

BuffaloBillsForever Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 This compromises his "leadership" message from late last season. And nothing else. Yes. This is all this situation really means to the team. As for fans, who really cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, at this point in his career, it's silly to compare Sammy Watkins to any Hall of Famers. The only thing Sammy Watkins has proven is that he CAN be great. Potential and $1 will get you any size coffee at McDonald's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL offseason is now also much easier on today's players so it's not a fair comparison. TC now a days looks like powder puff camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Sore thumb move. Everyone else sees this. Every coach and player on the team has heard by now about stackin chips Childish. But can't fret over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can't fret over it. Yup. Dem casuals get more worked up over Rex Ryan introducing Trump at a rally and Watkins not showing up to voluntary workouts than Doug Whaley putting together the worst linebacker core in the NFL going into the draft.

Is a linebacker core like an apple core? Does it have seeds? Or is it more like the core of the earth (which is seedless)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a dick is sometimes requisite to being a great receiver. I'll allow it. Is a linebacker core like an apple core? Does it have seeds? Or is it more like the core of the earth (which is seedless)? Speaking of dicks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
