stinky finger Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 A coach like McDerma should have had no problem motivating and having a good relationship with the most talented player on the roster. He even commented how hard it was to part with a guy he had a good relationship with. beano must have been the driving force on that trade. Cowboys do it w Dez B and Giants do it w OBJ, Steelers w Brown, Eagles w TO etc etc...... See the pattern? Mercurial crazy WR are tolerated. And Watkins was not even close to the type of turds those other guys are. And yet, Sammy isn't a single one of those players you mentioned. Oh wait - his potential, right? Did you see Antonio Brown go ape **** on the Steelers sidelines last week when he thought the ball should be coming his way more often? At least he's an accomplished diva. When Sammy actually accomplishes something in this league - consistently - then he can be "that" guy. So that excuses it? The comparison is to Sammy. Great WRs ARE diva's and ARE tolerated. Sammy. Aint. That. Of course star players get more latitude within reason. That's just the nature of the beast. A guy who hasn't accomplished much of anything? I think that's not an accurate measure of Watkins' contributions while with the Bills especially in his 1st two seasons. It's accurate. Stop. I'm begging. That's a better take on things. I don't think so, but you're right, you never know with Boyst. How about an ulta talented WR, who has shown flashes of greatness but never really has been able to put it together. Is that a fair description? Yes- fair Antonio Brown has received a helluva lot more opportunities to make plays in the Steelers' offense. It's a matter of opportunity in the offense a player performs in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinky finger Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 My point of course being he is 1-2 catches off pace through 4 weeks and was squarely on pace through 3 When I hear turn it around I think it's been terrible, not that he needs to marginally improve. For instance, a single td from midfield (something not out of the ordinary) would have had him on pace for 1100 yards 12 tds through three he was on pace for very similar. There's going to be a little up and down in pacing early in the season with anybody-- that's why I don't think it's in "needs to turn the season around" territory. If he was 17 yards a game through the month you start talking like that Alrighty. Now let's massage his numbers to greatness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 You are all ridiculous if you still stand up for this scumbag. i agree with your overall post but scumbag is a little harsh no? Sammy might not have been the best team player. May have gotten in a twitter feud with fans. But scumbag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 agreeing 103.2% His self awareness now after the fact is ridiculous. And even if he does recognize it than it does not change that he hasn't changed. Many people see their own flaws but don't care to change them. I won't judge him on changing but maybe he has. The bills got better without him, per his own former teammates. His former teammates who haven't reached out, tweeted a goodbye, mentioned him as an @sammywatkins Insta kinda nonsense. We haven't heard any player or coach say they miss him in any story. I find that interesting. There is this: "I caught just a small part of the game, so I did see a catch or two that Sammy had," McDermott said. "I'm happy for him. I'm really happy for him. You develop relationship with guys. I'm happy for him. That said, I'm focused on our team. I'm happy for Sammy and the other guys that went on to have big nights last night." Bills fans were pulling their hair out watching Watkins light it up in another uniform. McDermott feels their pain. "Absolutely," McDermott said. "I get it. Believe me, I get it. That's hard to watch from a fan's perspective and at times from a coach's perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice the perfectly placed at times at the end of his statement. Sean has a vision shared with Brandon, that vision didnt include a player that at times flashes enough to make it hard to watch while paying him what he described as game changing money; thats how franchises get crippled cap wise. At times is hard to warrant the team to open up to pay him Top nfl wr money. Edited October 7, 2017 by Bill_with_it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
