Malazan Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 6 minutes ago, formerlyofCtown said: Definitely agree. People will look for any reason they can to beat up on the guy. His stat sheet would be off the charts with just about any other team. KC really spreads the ball around to it's WRs. The #1 guy in that O is also the TE. He's been on two other teams...and his stats were nowhere near 'off the charts' so why would team #4 be different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, shoot, Now that you mention it he wouldn’t be a high end passing option. and it changes nothing given it could’ve been tyreek and about 4 if their receivers listed there anyway 3 minutes ago, jeremy2020 said: He's been on two other teams...and his stats were nowhere near 'off the charts' so why would team #4 be different? when healthy he had a run of off the charts here.

NoSaint Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 7 minutes ago, JR in Pittsburgh said: what’s funny too is he was like the the 4th option on that TD play he had today. Mahomes has all day and everyone else was covered. Don’t get me wrong— it was a nice catch and route (and gorgeous throw), but he is not out there against the other team’s no. 1 CB as the no. 1 option. KC is a great spot for him where he can be in line after about 5 or 6 other better and more consistent weapons. we watched him play fine against CB1 plenty here 26 minutes ago, BeastMaster said: How did I know we would see these posts? Watkins is never healthy and is mostly an afterthought in the KC offense. He got some looks today cause the Titans focused on the speed guys and Kelce...good for him. Still wouldn't want him on my team for the production at his salary let’s go get some of those speed guys and kelce and overpay a wr while we still can 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Sammy a lot and agree with the argument that he's a still a weapon that this team needs, but he's never going to be that #1 guy. I don't know if it's all between the ears, or his injuries, or some combination of the two but it's not happening. I don't doubt that he could be the most skilled #3 in the league though (I'm assuming Kupp is no longer really a 3). No WR on the Kc roster had 1000 yards. Watkins is their #2 WR not 3rd. Sammy's career and ability has been hampered by foot injuries and even with that I think he would be a number one on most teams. You are dilusional if you think John Brown (who I like) is a better WR than Watkins. The Rams are 4 deep and Cooks #s look pedestrian because of it. They also make very little use of their TE and RBs compared to an Andy Reed offense. Right now Josh is still developing so it isn't that easy to make an accurate assessment of our WRs. Lets not forget that Robert Woods was a terrible WR according to many on this board. Edited January 20, 2020 by formerlyofCtown 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then they flush him & the O down the toilet in 2017, for what? He did nothing bad on the field as a Buffalo Bill..... And the hate because they traded up to get him?

You are dilusional if you think John Brown (who I like) is a better WR than Watkins. I'm not following your first point at all, sorry. I didn't mention 1000 yards, but Tyreek Hill is the clear #1 on that team. Watkins is their third receiving option, at least. I see him as a #3 guy in the league, although I'm not going to argue against him being a #2. Point is he's not a #1. John Brown is not as physically gifted as Sammy Watkins, but he is absolutely a better wide receiver than Sammy Watkins. It happens, if physical talent was everything then Charles Rogers would have lasted for more than 3 seasons. I like Sammy a lot and have said that he's a viable weapon that flashes #1 upside, but just isn't consistent enough to be a true #1. What more do you want?

Not worth the elite dollars but a really good receiver nonetheless. I just don't see the need to demonize the guy because he didn't work out here in Buffalo. He was working out just fine in Buffalo (some injuries unfortunately, but was health training camp 2017)....... The problem was not enough targets.

You are dilusional if you think John Brown (who I like) is a better WR than Watkins. It’s honestly tough to say whether John Brown would be better than Sammy. Sammy barely registers targets for the most explosive offense in football, despite going against far inferior cover guys than Hill and Kelce draw. And this, after being a total non-factor for an explosive LA Rams offense. I think the hate you see is Watkins is a disappointment production-wise and is too inconsistent and injury prone. The other hate is it seems like he doesn’t really have competitive fire. His comments about being down during the Texans game is evidence of that, as is the fact that he seems he would rather join a team to be the 3rd option, than try to go out and be the man somewhere.

Watkins is a great fit with KC and there are not many WRs better than Hill or Kelce atm Plus Swatkins is banged up Watkins makes our WR corps NFL competent. Not every move Beane makes is perfect.

No doubt his draft picks had the stench. Anyone else who was already here could be hosed down and possibly salvaged (ala Kyle Williams).
