Believe me, I know EJ being terrible has something to do with it but I've been more impressed with Mike Evans, kelvin Benjamin, deandre Hopkins and Brandon cooks. Did we get the best receiver in the draft? Serious question...

Re: Did we get the best WR in the draft?
i understand why you would ask the question... but it can not be validated at this time. We have a QB that can't get the WR the ball. Even when he does get a chance the ball is beyond inaccurate. I am starting to see the WR frustration with EJ. He doesn't deserve more time... give the job to KO

No WR can impact games enough to warrant two first round picks. When you factor in a horrendous QB, this deal becomes an unmitigated disaster.

Thing is the bills hoped that Watkins could turn dinks into large gains for Ej. Thats what Watkins did in college. Problem is, Ej took dinking and dunking to a new crappy level. He's a horrible version of TrentativeLast edited by justasportsfan; 09-28-2014, 08:39 PM.

Watkins has an element of gimmicky-ness to his game which doesn't translate well to the NFL. He was far from a pro-style WR coming in.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

Re: Did we get the best WR in the draft?
Ugh. Great WRs shine regardless of who throws them the ball. Look at what Calvin Johnson put up with a QB carousel in Detroit before Matthew Stafford showed up. If Watkins is that good, he'll be able to put up similar numbers over the course of a season.
Calvin's second year he put up 78 for 1331 and 12 TDs. Did that help the 08 Lions win games? No. They went 0-16 that year. Does it help them win games now that there's a capable QB throwing the ball? Yes. That team still has problems but not 2008 glaring problems.
The hope has to be that Watkins is kept around and the next time the franchise re-rolls on a QB they get it right.
Roddy White is another good example of this. Did he help the 2007 Falcons win games with 83 1200 6? No. They went 4-12. Then they got Matt Ryan and went 11-5.
Right now Sammy's 17 197 2 which over the course of the season looks like 68 800 8.

Besides, I thought that Watkins just needed to get the ball and we could all sit back and watch him takeover from there? I don't recall the ridiculously positive things being said about Watkins involving a whole lot of deep throws.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3
