Sammy Watkins, former first-round pick of the Buffalo Bills, said the team trading him in 2017 “helped him a lot.”

The comments about the team that drafted him went downhill from there.

“It left me scarred by just not trusting coaches in general,” Watkins told reporters via 13WHAM-TV during Super Bowl week in Miami ahead of Sunday’s Chiefs-49ers showdown.

Come across as immature at times, and varies from taking accountability for his career one day, to taking none the next. Good thing there are some legit playmakers on that team so he can ride their coattails to the big game.

Sour Grapes. Rarely will a player ever say nice things about a team that didnt want him - Dareus, Sammy, Shady etc. The narrative coming from the players in the locker room is what I care about at this point.

Is it the Buffalo media asking asking these ridiculous loaded questions? Who else would care about how these guys felt when they got dealt from the team? What is the media trying to prove? Very, very weird. The responses are predictable. Does the media just have a thing for hearing someone take a dump on Buffalo so they try to incite it at every opportunity?

So: confirms what we all knew (or most of us anyway).

 

Sammy Watkins is soft.

 

100%

 

i assume his “not trusting coaches” comment is directed at Marrone who played him in the preseason with broken ribs.

He had just gone through 2 years of the Rex clown show, and McD and Beane were unknown quantities at that time...

 

I can’t really blame him for wanting out and being happy to be traded..

Usually the word "scarred" has negative, long-lasting, connotations - it allegedly left him "scarred", but then he further elaborates how it revived his career and resulted in a plethora of blessings ?

“But I think that revived my whole career. At that point in my life I didn’t want to be there and somehow, miraculously, I get traded like the next week and go to another team that’s pretty good and go to the playoffs in my first year with the Rams and now to be in this situation, fighting in the third round last year, one game away from the Super Bowl and to be in the Super Bowl this year… blessings.”

Scarred?

 

So scarred he was probably put on the injury list after giving that interview.

 

Sammy Watkins-questionable (butt hurt)

Man did Beane and McDermott inherit a mess!

Every single interview from these former players  gives me more confidence in our now FO and coaches.

Don't you just love the way these former Buffalo Bills once they get to the Superbowl start running their mouth about how bad they had it
