Sam's ego is what's keeping him from being great. Thus far, he's been average and he's been a crappy teammate both in Buffalo and in LA. Again ... just my opinion. I'm just glad he's gone. Agree with the baseball fan. Sammy is a foul ball and glad he is in another park.

Had an injury for 8 years doctors could not figure out until I was put in a cast which almost crippled me so doctor did a MRI and he found a golf ball size cyst surrounding ankle bone, nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. One quack (I actually called him that in his office showing evidence) actually called it all in my head. Once you have had such an injury it takes a tremendous amount of effort to recover partially and you never recover fully. I am going for second surgery in July. 1

Not sure how you're spinning this into anything negative regarding his time in LA with the Rams and Goff. Total non story in that regard. It’s kinda of pathetic the way some fans hate on ex Bills. Sammy got traded. He played with garbage qbs and we never invested in getting him the ball. Some Bills think he is garbage yet good offensive coach kept bringing him in. id feel a lot better about Allen if we had Watkins. Maybe we can get Jordan Matthews back. 25 minutes ago, Gugny said: I don't think anyone's ever questioned his abilities or his potential to be elite.

Yeah, if Woods was the number 1 receiver and drew number 1 cbs, he would be dominate. Are people serious with this? and say what you want to about Whaley but we had a receiving core of Watkins, Woods, Hogan, Goodwin, & Clay. With a good QBs, that’s one of the best in the entire nfl and we just wasted it. 2 1 2

And I consider Woods better because he's not selfish, has no attitude, doesn't quit on his team, is just as good at catching passes as Sam and he's more durable. 2

Sammy only has about 200 yards and 7 more tds than Woods in one less season. There’s a reason Watkins is getting almost double what Woods got. Woods is is a solid number 2 but teams aren’t game planning for him. And guess what? Talented receivers are divas. Sammy should have gotten the ball more here. 3 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Some fans need to convince themselves Sammy sucks and the Bills are better off without him. Meanwhile the Bills WR corps was atrocious without him and still looks to be an overall bad unit with 0 speed and ability to separate. Maybe this is the year Andre Holmes and Streater become stars!!! Sammy just turned 25!!! God, that would be a great target for Allen. Goff played well last year but has an average arm. Allen could have threw some lovely bombs to Sammy. 1

Talented receivers who actually walk the walk can be divas. So far, Sam is Mr. Potential on his third team. We can agree to disagree, but I'd take Woods over Sam any day of the week. 2 1

He was used as a decent decoy when injured til that well ran dry. he was a viable threat for a couple years. But no i don't feel he accomplished nearly enough. Being available ( fully ) hurt him in more ways than one You notice he had a lot of good to say about the Rams when he first went to that team. Then he gets frustrated about targets. Rams was the second team he wasn't getting targets and feeling frustrated. I just see a pattern that is all I'm saying. Hopefully for him he gets established in KC. Good recievers get the job done. I'm sure all good WRs get focused on right? He can't be the only talented WR in the NFL that's drawing coverages. Edited June 20, 2018 by Lfod

Sammy rushes back from a foot injury which is kinda of important for a receiver. He isn’t completely healthy and messes it up more. Now fans question his toughness. So dumb, 1

Goff is good with the short stuff and WAtkins opens that up. It’s wjy they immediately acquired Cook after Sammy left. There was no way they were going into the season with Woods and Kupp as their top wrs. Just now, Gugny said: Well, I'll just sit at my lil' job and expect more out of my favorite team's receivers.

I have zero problem with players calling out reckless fans. Some fans are total losers.

I'm not going to take anything away from him, he is a talented receiver and has a high ceiling, but with his injury issues, and the price it was going to cost to keep him, getting that 2nd rounder and Gaines was the right move by McBeane. I think that foot injury is going to plague him his entire career. Those foot injuries just never seem to get better. I agree that we got fair trade value from the Rams. IMO, the mistake on McBeane's part came earlier - when they did not pick up Sammy's option. This is not to say I dont like McBeane - I am pretty stoked with most everything else they have done. 1

Sammy telling reporters he wants a “QB that he can grow with” and that’s why he picked KC. That’s coming from a team with Jared Goff at QB. Kudos to the Bills for getting a 2nd rounder and Gaines for this guy, who certainly would have left in Free Agency and definitely has an attitude problem. It's funny when players sign for the most money, then make it not about the money. In fairness to him, his QBs were Kyle Orton, EJ Manuel, and Tyrod Taylor during his time in Buffalo. He was the only player to come close to, and exceeding, 1000 yards. Woods and Cupp already had continuity with Goff when he showed up in pre-season, and he was behind the 8 ball all year. Only problem is Mahomes is still an unknown. While he looked good in limited action, if he falls on his face Sammy will follow. Doesn't surprise me another posting saying Sammy has looked good during off season OTAs and learning the offense. He has always taken his craft seriously. I wish him the best because he truly is a talented guy. 1

I'm half-kidding. I think Sam Watkins could have been one of the best. I loved the pick. I thought it was worth what Whaley spent on it. But Sam, the person, ruined Sam, the receiver. His ego was/is the only thing between him and true greatness. I think it's a sad story, to be honest. Not really sad, because he's a multi-millionaire. But I don't think he'll ever reach his potential.
