Buftex Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 32 minutes ago, Dragoon said: It’s common knowledge that Whaley didn’t do the contracts. If I owned a team I’d higher Whaley to work in the scouting office but never to be GM. I’m not saying Sammy is a bad guy. He’s not. But he is a little crazy and lacking in intelligence and awareness. You can only think your soul jumped into another player to score a TD if you have a tenuous grip on reality. To be fair to Whaley, it doesn't seem like he was ever completely in charge of the things a GM should be in charge of. Not to say he didn't make any mistakes, but not being able to choose his own coach was a big obstacle in his job. I know most hate Marrone (with good reason), but when you think about it, they were reasonably on the right track to building a team pretty similar to what we have now... a really good defense, and a middle of the road offense. They really did seem on the verge of turning the corner under Marrone... the hiring of Rex Ryan, by the Pegulas and Brandon, was a huge mistake, and pretty much blew up Whaley's progress. 1
MrEpsYtown Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Wait was it one or two first round picks he was traded for? I forgot.... But seriously, he’s an idiot and a weirdo and while he has talent he seems to lack that competitive edge to be great. He’s a follower, not an alpha. Oh well. Should have just been Mack. I don’t wish harm on the guy, but in twenty years this is going to be the guy they are talking about eating out of garbage cans down by the river and engaging in lewd acts with raccoons after pawning his super bowl ring in exchange for a Mr potato head toy who “talks” to him ...not because he ran out of money, just because he’s nuts.

Thurman#1 Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 That's a shame. Lost and suggestible. Good luck to him. He needs it.

Trading him (along with Dareus, TT and a bunch of other guys you and others howled over) was a key part of rebuilding the team into one that has been to the playoffs twice after a 20 year drought. So, good for Watkins for latching on to a great team and getting a ring, but there's no question the Bills got a win by getting rid of him. 1 1

BillsFan4 Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 Some of the stuff Watkins said reminds me of someone I know who has some issues with schizophrenia. 2
stinky finger Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 1 hour ago, ScottLaw said: His two best years in the NFL were both on the Bills before suffering the foot injury in 2016....He had a Jones fracture that is known to take a while to get players back to 100% as was the case with Julio.. I don’t disagree his football character was in question, McDermott didn’t want to take on that personality, but two highly touted offensive minds(one being McDermotts former boss)had no issues taking on that perceived character issue and it paid off. It was an irrational comment in the moment to call him moronic for the trade, but the Bills have had issues with the WR corps and have been looking for a Sammy Watkins type of talent since his departure. Hopefully they finally got one(and maybe a better one) in Diggs. And here it is. All precincts have reported. 40 minutes ago, MrEpsYtown said: Wait was it one or two first round picks he was traded for? I forgot....

I was the Galleria Mall at Spencer’s gifts when I got the notification on my phone. I was defiantly just as shocked as a lot of these posters but I also had a lot of faith in Jordan Mathews. Whoops.... I remember the day because it was the day my mistress ended our affair. ?

So only good-looking people are allowed to comment on someone's appearance? I never understood this logic. It's the illogical "I'd like to see you try" logic. So weird.

The great thing about this board is you can pretend to be the person you always wanted to be in real life. So who are you? Asking for a friend...
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 I remember all the positive reports about his work ethic and coming in early during his first camp.

Big C Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 Now everyone in KC understands why Sammy.was dealing with that hamstring injury... ???
Cruiserplayer Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) There was a lot of bashing of St Doug for not being behind this pick. Edited May 13, 2020 by Cruiserplayer
Freddie's Dead Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 Wow, what a strange article. How did Sammy get away with partying on Chippewa with nobody saying anything? It's like Lehner drinking a case every night and the Sabres have no clue. I hope he finds some peace, and I hope the Bills can find the 3 first round picks we wasted on this guy.
