You could have Sammy and Foster. Now, we are going to overpay for FA who isn’t close to the talent level of a (healthy) Sammy. Expand Thats the point though right? Not much good paying a million per game for someone to be watching from the sidelines.

Expand He had a phenominal 9 games with Tyrod Taylor as his QB. Too put it in perspective of how big of a deal that is. Look at what Robert Woods is doing.

He was healthy pretty much all last year and couldnt even crack 50 receptions and 650 yards receiving. Its laughable to compare his career or production to those three.

That doesn't change the reality that he doesn't stay on the field. He also has an ego problem. If he was elite his issues might be worth dealing with, but he produces more like a good #2 receiver than a real #1. I get why people think he is so good. He looks like he should be elite with his size and hands and above average speed. For whatever reason he has never put it all together. Chiefs fans don't like him this year. They would much rather have spent his $17 million on some semblance of a secondary. 1

Expand I dont know if I would call him a bust but he certainly hasn't come close to living up to expectations and the Whaley giving up an additional first rounder was one of the many awful inept Bills draft day decisions we have made specially considering there were a few other better receivers that could have been had if we had stayed put.

Buffalo murders receivers. Expand Yeah, his worst three years. Remember the days that all the Sammy defenders used to cite the first three year Julio comparison like you just did? The comparison was made basically making the point that Sammy would progress and flourish just like Julio, except......... That never happened. Just admit it, he has been a massive NFL disappointment. He was supposed to be an All pro, rather than that he has been the 3rd and 4th leading receiver ON HIS TEAM with pro bowl QB's. Those are the facts jack

Over his 5 seasons in the NFL 57% of his career receiving yards came in his first 2 years here. Since then he has had trouble staying on the field and his QBs are treating him like a #2 or #3. This isn't a debate anymore. He has never been worth what a single team gave up for him. Maybe he'll finally turn it on, he is still only 25 years old. I'm not holding my breath though.

No one doubts his ability, at least not this guy. What I have been saying for 2 years now is that he is very inconsistent and injury plagued. That is indisputable if you are being honest with yourself.

Your "rush back" comment is nonsense. The man was out injured with his foot, and was still playing pick-up basketball at the LA Fitness in Buffalo... Is basketball easy on the feet? Sounds like he was really committed to rehabbing the foot.
