Big C Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Maybe this is what I'm getting at. They don't want to invest in the position and are willin to take on less talent for cheaper because they don't view it as worth it. The Darby trade was about the pick. Kaelin Clay is a former panther, familiar guy, no? Yes, they did move up for Zay. But he is no Watkins. They'd rather have a cheaper, average WR than an expensive elite player at WR. Feels like they are looking at the Lions losing Calvin Johnson after a 7-9 season and getting Golden Tate and Marvin Jones, getting to the playoffs at 9-7.
likei've Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 You never trade a dollar for 4 quarters in sports. That's what the Bills did. You don't trade Paul George for Victor Oladipo & Damontas Sabonis. You build around the elite talents. That's what every winning team does. They all have stars. That's the case in every sport. Sammy and Shady could have been one of the best duos in the league. Wavering.
HappyDays Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 I've said, all along, that Bob Woods was the best receiver on the Bills. Sam might have more raw talent. But Woods is more durable, more dependable, more dedicated and more selfless. And that makes him better, IMO. And I think the Rams agree. Agree with all of this. I always liked Woods and wish we could have kept him. But not at that contract, and not in a rebuild year.
Kirby Jackson Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) I have to think they just didn't trust the reliability, because that's the only way it makes sense. (Unless there's stuff we just don't know, which is of course likely.)Thats the risk. I've heard he wasn't the most popular guy there. I don't care though. Make it work!! Barry Bonds might be the least popular athlete ever. He won like 7 MVPs. Edited September 22, 2017 by Kirby Jackson
26CornerBlitz Posted September 22, 2017 Author Posted September 22, 2017 Hey Relax! We have Kaelin Clay who can stretch he field.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 22, 2017 Author Posted September 22, 2017 You might think Sam is better than Woods. But can you argue that he's more durable, dependable, dedicated and selfless? I don't think there's an argument, to be honest. Woods was injured in each of the last two seasons.
Big C Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 You never trade a dollar for 4 quarters in sports. But the pool table only takes quarters. Oh wait...
Augie Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 A lot of people hate Cowherd, but he always says after a trade - who got the best player, and who got the other stuff? That's not 100% because there's a lot to play out over time with many unknowns, but....
likei've Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Sammy on the Bills this year looks like Sammy on the Bills every other year. No change. Not sure why people think it would change because he's making some plays on a better offense. It's not 1:1
mannc Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 I think it was the right call for McVay. the 49ers will turn the ball over again. Keep putting points on the board if you're the Rams.It was the wrong call, and the numbers say it's not close. And it will probably come back to bite the Rams. They could have put the game away, or at worst, back the 49ers up to their own 1 yard line down by 11. It was a complete fail by a coach who should know better.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 I find it very frustrating watching the Rams move the ball with woods and Watkins
CommonCents Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 I find it very frustrating watching the Rams move the ball with woods and Watkins Just look at the QB.
Kirby Jackson Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 FWIW, I know I've been a little ornery this offseason but I have been right an awful lot so far. That's not always the case but most of what I have said or believed has come true.
bobobonators Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Sammy on the Bills this year looks like Sammy on the Bills every other year. No change. Not sure why people think it would change because he's making some plays on a better offense. It's not 1:1 When Sammy was healthy he performed as a top 5-7 WR in the NFL..not sure why you're boohooing his performance here..problem is his missed games..that's it.
