      Speaking of douche bags, you're right on cue.

      Wrong about what might I ask?

      Wrong that Watkins wasn't worth next year's 1st and 4th, or that Watkin isn't worth Benjamin, a 1st, and a 4th next year?

      I don't think so homey.

      I think if you asked anyone that didn't have cement in their head whether they'd rather have Watkins or Benjamin and a 1st and 4th next year, that 90-some percent would take Benjamin and the 1st and 4th.

      And Robert Mays? Really?

      You may want to vet your sources a little bit better you narcissistic jackass.

      Here's what he said about us three weeks ago;



      I don't think that there's anyone alive that will agree with that, again, not anyone that doesn't have a head filled with concrete like you that is.

      Otherwise, read his titles, he's the master of stating the obvious. No wonder you like him. I notice that this piece didn't come out in weeks 1-6.

          By the way, I said the same **** about Spiller and worse and I was hammered for years. Alone on an island for years, yet in the end game, and as long as you seem to be all wrapped up about pointing out how wrong I always am, there wasn't anyone more accurate about him than me. No one even close.

              Fletch is the first person ever to make my ignore list. Just too much incoherant blathering.

              Sammy Watkins obviously is an amazing talent. You really have to be reaching deep down in your idiocy bucket to come up with anything negative about him as a player.

                Re: Grantland says Sammy Watkins is pretty good

                Talk about cement for brains. 7 games in and most everyone is raving about the guy.....except Felch. He HAS to be right so he will go to any length to justify his blathering. Watkins route running is already excellent, but Felch said he can't do that, "all he can do is catch the ball in the flat and RAC". WRONG Felch, WRONG. The jury is, and will be out for a couple years as far as the price we paid, but there is no doubt Watkins is already special.

                  Yes, cement for brains.

                  Only someone with cement for brains would rather have a WR that has 35 catches for 433 yards, 12.4 yards-per-catch, and 4 TDs against Miami, Minnesota, and Houston, over one that has 34 catches for 477 yards, 14.0 yards-per-catch, and 5 TDs, including TDs against Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Green Bay and one that's been much more consistent, plus a 1st round and 4th round pick next season.

                  And think before you post your next cement-headed comment about Newton throwing the ball since two of Benjamin's 5 TDs have been from Anderson and Newton's not having the best season anyway. A lot of people are on him over it.

                  You sure you don't work for our front office? They have cement for brains too.

                    Re: Grantland says Sammy Watkins is pretty good

                    Watkins is a beast...but the extra 1st was a steep price to pay. It's really as simple as that. If the trade was a 1st and a 2nd/4th next year, I'd be all in. Giving up a 1st for a non QB is not something I would recommend. At the very least, Watkins looks like an elite talent that can have a huge impact with a slightly below average QB. At the end of the day, with the game on the line, the play was to Watkins, Orton didn't look anywhere else, and Watkins easily got open. Comparing Watkins to Spiller is silly IMO because Watkins has shown as much upside this year as Spiller has in his career...and I wouldn't mind keeping Spiller around at a decent price and with a OC who knows how to utilize him.

                      Anyone know why Fletch keeps adding a 2015 4th rounder to the Watkins trade?

                      EDIT: Ah, I double checked. For some reason I thought the 4th we gave up was this year's, not next.

                        Back to topic.

                        Watkins is better than pretty good. We now know he can be the main reason we win some close football games.

                          Why are some even surprised he is good ? He was dynamite in college. All he needed was a half way decent qb who could get him the ball. He has all the skills. Big, fast, good hands, breaks tackles, strong, runs good routes, will go over the middle, fearless, and he is young and will get even better as long as he has a qb with him.

                          He will be a top-5 wr in the NFL.

                            I don't think fletch is willing to concede the Bills are staying put in Buffalo & not moving to Toronto yet.

                              He's been really good this year, only thing I've seen is some route development issues with his tree and some struggles in press but he's beaten that a number of times as well. His catch radius is absolutely outstanding.
