Watkins is hurt


Recommended Posts

Are we looking at the same year three where Jones averaged over 100 yards per game? And still managed to put up 13 more catches and 150 more yards than Watkins in 3 less games?

yes, where sammy played on a bad foot for those games and didnt have matt ryan passing to him

We can confirm that Samuel Watkins is scheduled for spleen removal surgery after practice.

 

It's like a hangnail, just got to rip it off, rub some dirt on it and get back out there.

 

Glad to hear Sammy is still alive. :beer:

 

What's up with the guy that said Sammy isn't 100% and Overdorf is holding up the Boldin deal? Guess if you throw enough at the wall...

You're right. Nothing alike. Could you imagine how much of a bust Sammy would be with Matt Ryan throwing to him.

And how many of Sammy's yards were in garbage time?

Agreed.

 

It's funny but some reporters seem to take offense to this. Their job is to report what they see (according to some) but if you read the tweets, it's about creating a story. One reporters account:

 

"Sammy Watkins came up a bit gimpy..." (a nice subjective comment)

"Sammy Watkins is headed off"

"Sammy Watkins is back"

"Haven't seen him take a team rep yet"

 

And you see where it goes.

Ah, the self-absorbed world of sports journalism, where the only thing more important than reporting on sports is ensuring everyone knows you were the first to report it.

All teams have garbage time. All garbage time evens out. Unless you're the bills and 75% of stats are garbage time. Tt only threw for 12 real yards last year and Sammy had 7 yards of offense

So technically ya'll think Sammy is actually way better than Julio because he doesn't have Matt Ryan as his QB?

I was merely putting up the first 3 seasons of both WR's career to refute the earlier statement that Sammy's numbers weren't even close to Julio's in his first 3 years in the league.

Haven't been on in a couple days, I saw the thread title and freaked out. Come on people! Wait for the results.

Poster got the boot. Not really for posting the injury as much as his rude reply when people called him out

Of the autopsy?

 

They say it was a deadly foot fracture

Nobody is saying he is way better. Or even better at all.

 

But Matt Ryan and the Falcons passing attack >>>better situation for a receiver over Taylor and the ground and pound rushing attack of the Bills the last two seasons. I wouldn't really think that is debatable.

 

And for what it is worth, if we look at year two numbers for each player Watkins put up better numbers despite playing with a more limited QB and offense. So we know Watkins has the ability and is capable of Julio Jones type production. Let's see what he does this year.

So if Sammy doesn't rack up 1500+ this season can we THEN conclude he's no Julio Jones.

 

I mean he's not a bust, but he is a relatively average NFL starting WR this far.
