YoloinOhio Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 @jonahjavad #Bills WR Sammy Watkins on team declining to pick up 5th-year option: "It's my job to go out there and earn it and stay healthy." @WGRZ #Bills WR Sammy Watkins: "I love Buffalo. My job is to stay here forever." @WGRZ Watkins says he's self-motivated this year (staying healthy, winning games, playoffs) & the contract/money are not part of it. #Bills @WGRZ @joebuscaglia Sammy Watkins says there isn't any lingering thought about the team declining his fifth-year option . #Bills #Bills WR Sammy Watkins said the foot stopped hurting him right after he had surgery, because, well, he blocked out the pain. Sammy Watkins: "The foot is fine. I'm healed. Just trying to get back on the same page as Tyrod." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 This is a good attitude to have. I'm pulling for him, never thought he was or is a bust. I can look past his "go back to your little jobs" comment since I know what twitter trolls have to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I just hope he REALLY means it! But yeah, just go out there, play good ball and keep your mouth shut and you'll be in Buffalo forever. Be more like Andre Reed than T.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 My thoughts remain that he's well intentioned but immature when it comes to a corporate all eyes on him role. I don't think he's a bad guy just one with a lot of learning to do. Hopefully he does it quickly and with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I hope so. Kid's special, there's no question. He just needs to stay healthy... I expect him to and to have a career year in the process. GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Be interesting to see what we can do with a healthy and motivated Watkins and Dareus this season. Staying healthy is the absolute key. I feel like the players have bought into what McDermott is selling, the motivation seems to be here this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all 3 of those guys can have career years and Tyrod can at least play at a decent level then maybe we are talking about a 9-7, 10-6 team after all. This team does have talent but under Rex he was just never able to get these guys at their full potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watkins101 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 If all three have career years there is no way we don't make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can look past his "go back to your little jobs" comment since I know what twitter trolls have to offer. The only reason Sammy can be considered a bust is the cost to get him, the ability to stay healthy or production. The guy sure is talented but questions certainly surround him.

The guy sure is talented but questions certainly surround him. That is why the trade was ridiculous. It put the guy in an impossible spot. Anything short of being league MVP and Super Bowl champion will always be a bust to some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I am just gonna root for the kid to shine this year Word. I never understood rooting against players on your team jus cuz they rubbed you the wrong way. Thats so negative. Thats why I stay off twitter and instagram. Too many negative people wit comments because they aren't happy with their own lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I really hope he has his best year yet in a Bills uniform. If he stays healthy, I think he will. This offense could be a great fit for him. The last offense was not good for YAC, and that's what Sammy excelled at in college. I'm hopeful that this offense will be much better for getting players YAC. He seems to be putting in the time with Tyrod too, and I think that's very important. The more trust Tyrod has in him, the more he is likely to get the ball. Tyrod being as cautious as he is at times, I think trusting his WR's is very important to him, and with Sammy missing so much time I think it's been hard to really build that relationship. I feel like Sammy has just scratched the surface of what he's capable of, and I'd love if he's able to stick around and realize all that potential as a Buffalo Bill. It's nice heading that he seems to feel the same way and wants to stick around here. This is a good attitude to have. I'm pulling for him, never thought he was or is a bust. I can look past his "go back to your little jobs" comment since I know what twitter trolls have to offer. He's such a young kid. I don't hold that against him either. I think about some of the stuff I did and said at his age... yikes. lol Plus, like you said those twitter trolls are brutal. I'm sure they've said a lot worse to him. I cam only imagine reading all those nasty comments constantly. We are only human. Sometimes it's hard to bite your tongue every single time.

CanadianFan Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 This shows he's 1)way smarter and 2) more emotionally mature than many of our current and former players. Make him earn his contract. Then make him the bloody captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
