    He could, but it's unlikely he'll get anywhere near those numbers. Atlanta has on average more than 200 more pass attempts than rushing attempts per season, (Bills rush more than pass), and had for example more than 150 more pass attempts than the Bills.

    To me that means he needs to be an impact player and be dominant in games.

    His contract isn't up, he could start running the league and validate his draft status (which he's stuck with) sure, but is it really likely ?

    That leads back to his unfortunate draft status and what we paid to get him.

    At this point, you probably expect more from someone at his spot, which is why I'm saying he's flirting with bust territory. Is he for sure ? Nah, he's got time and he's honestly not the worst of their issues atm anyway. At the least though, when he comes back he needs to start taking over games like the best do. Mean time, he's just another brittle pick of Whaley's.

    Certainly the BUF OL, OB, and play calling situations are part of it, but I don't think other clubs fret a lot about handling Watkins when they construct their game plans against BUF.

    He's not there, yet.

    Re: Sammy

    What Watkins needs is a decent QB throwing to him. Then people would stop complaining about the pick. Period.

    That is a Whaley failure. When you stick your neck out as a GM, like he did with the Watkins pick, you'd better have a QB that can get him the ball. He didn't and still doesn't. So it was a stupid pick. If Whaley was going to make a big move like that it should have been to get some sort of a QB. Otherwise he should have used the picks he had to fill in other roster needs. And, once again, he could have done that and still gotten Odell Beckham Jr.

    When you make the list, let me know. Otherwise stick to the hobbies that make you happy and save your negative comments for your fellow competitors on the Bocce Court and the Croquet Field.

    Sammy Watkins should have never been selected in the first place.

    no doubt in my mind he's elite.

    you don't draft a sidewinder missle and strap it to a cargo plane.

    Smart teams realize you you need a fighter jet first.

    Well, considering only 2000 players in the nation make an NFL roster every year, I would say none of them "suck". If you're going to say that it obviously means you could do better.

    Of course, we know that you couldn't even is you went on a steady diet of Sustanon 500.

    BTW, you can call out anything you want, you limp dicked faggit, it doesn't mean your opinion is correct.

    His post is quite accurate. You listed some marginal nfl players that didn't have long careers. So what? somebody who made an nfl roster for even one game might be the highlight of their life, but saying from your couch that they suck just because they will never be an all pro is the height of arrogance. There are thousands of players that never make NFL rosters who are far worse than those players. Anonymity has made aholes such tough guys

    You still don't get it apparently neither does cher.

    Of course these players are good enough to make the NFL and are better than any of us are at playing football.

    They suck in comparison to their peers, not us, the fans.

    When someone says "X" sucks they are comparing them to other NFL players at the position, for example since this is about Sammy Watkins...he sucks compared to the other WRs that were drafted around him.

    But hey, he should be laughing all the way to the bank for being bad, among many other NFL players who have done the same.

    Doesn't get it is an understatement. Stupid is more accurate. Let him just with his arrogant, wrong attitude and keep cheering for the NFL team that cannot seem to ever make the play-offs.

    "It is not the critic who counts. ... The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly ... who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." ~ Theodore Roosevelt.

    This suits you and many on this board perfectly. No talent hacks who can't do so they critique.

    When ya'll think of "suck" look in the mirror.
