likei've Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 K I won't say derp if you don't say we are the pats now Ej Gaines baby !! If you read what was actually said you'd know that didn't happen. Misinformed and uncouth.
Patrick Duffy Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Ahhh, another EJ. I think he will suck just b/c his 1st name is EJ. Maybe Gaines will prove otherwise
teef Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Obviously if you knew what I was talking about you'd know I was talking about getting something for a player before they left on their own. Not comparing talent. You'd know that if you payed attention. it's a thing today. if you mention the pats in any capacity, people will jump down your throat because they accuse you of comparing the talent, even when it's pretty obvious that's not what was happening.

Not comparing talent. You'd know that if you payed attention. So you are just excusing the f**k up of not picking up the option and burning your bridge with the player, leading to the even greater f**k up of getting " something" ( read: next to nothing) for your most talented WR by a long shot because now you don't think he will re sign with you? Not exactly how I'd like my FO to operate with regards to talent retention .
Maury Ballstein Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) I don't agree with the trade but logically the more picks we have next year, means the better chance at moving up for a QB if we see one we like. Derp.I thought we already did that when we traded down with the Chiefs. This 2nd round pick and lack of explosive wr's is key? Enjoy the cheap tickets. Edited August 12, 2017 by Maury Ballstein
What a Tuel Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 I thought we already did that when we traded down with the Chiefs. This 2nd round pick and lack of explosive wr's is key? Enjoy the cheap tickets. An extra 2nd round pick which will likely be in the 30's not 40's? It could be useful if you look at what other teams have had to package to move up for QBs. Are you a rams fan? Is that why you have the logo? Or a Sammy fan turned Rams fan? What's the deal there?

Obviously we have different ideas of what it takes to succeed in this league. First thing, a star has to be on the field or he's just a player with potential to be a star. That's not worth what Sammy will demand. Edited August 12, 2017 by likei've

No deal, Just angry we hired Sam Hinkie to deal our best asset. Season is gonna blow.
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Obviously if you knew what I was talking about you'd know I was talking about getting something for a player before they left on their own. Not comparing talent. You'd know that if you payed attention. Of course. But as I have pointed out. Pats still have talent on their roster despite the many players they have let go over the years. We have McCoy and not much else. That's going to be a problem for us. You can't follow the Patriot's recipe and expect success if the cupboards are bare.
What a Tuel Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 No deal, Just angry we hired Sam Hinkie to deal our best asset. Season is gonna blow. I agree they shouldn't have traded him. At the very least he should've shopped him around, but Beane says he didn't. So we got what the Rams were willing to pay, and not what other teams might have chimed in with. That is a mistake in my opinion. We shouldn't have traded him at all though. Once we get a legit QB, we will be looking to draft another Sammy high.
Bill_with_it Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Then you must have s soft spot for players Made of glass. I do not.

That's not worth what Sammy will demand. Such a simple concept yet so dang hard for people to grasp. Its not foot surgery.
Augie Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Glad I didn't say anything stupid in here when this was originally brought up I'm pleasantly surprised that I felt then the way I feel now. It makes me feel a little less crazy. It still hurts though. When healthy he was my favorite guy to watch. My son is all bummed out as Sammy was his favorite player and he got his jersey last year. Ooops!

That's not worth what Sammy will demand. Oh, on board with the " internet tough guy that thinks players don't get major injuries" hot take? Here's the facts: SW missed most of last year with a Jones fracture: an injury know to take a year or more to heal. He missed only two or three games in the previous TWO seasons combined. Perhaps you weren't watching then. You likely missed the second half of 2015 where he was putting up big numbers because they had actually decided to throw him the ball. The Bills had SW for this season under his rookie deal and could have kept him for 2018 as well just by picking up his 5th year option. Plenty of time to determine if he was worth a big contact without actually having to give him one in the meantime. Most stat lines point to being able to pass the football on offense to succeed in the NFL today. Maybe you think it takes something different. I'm not seeing where this was a smart move for this team, just one that might stop them from having to pay a player money at some point. Edited August 12, 2017 by Boatdrinks

Yep it was a damn full on surprise what Beane and Sean did. Your Son can wish him well playing with his buddy Robert Wood ! can still be a fan of the player
