Thomas5737 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Is he willing to catch balls in the middle of the field? Seems like he tried to play away from contact, at least earlier in his career and Lamar does best with the middle of the field throws. Could be dynamic. Could be anemic. Low risk signing. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the time his injured, 1/4 of the team he will ball out in all facets, the other 1/4 you won’t even notice he’s on the field. It will be interesting to see how going to a team without another big name WR though, some of his comments from previous years pointed towards him wanting to be the top man.

Kiwibrown Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Finally sammy hits his market value. Ravens paying 6 million for two good games and 8 non existent ones and couple of average ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 This is a great move and a terrible move. May your team face the Ravens during the 8 games that he is hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I did not realize that Sammy was on the Eric Moulds train. Moulds' ypc dropped 8 years in a row. 20.4 15.3 14.1 13.5 12.9 12.2 11.9 10.1 9.8 Watkins is going on year 6 17.5 15.4 15.2 13.0 12.9 11.4 ??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to happen a lot, gotta look at the catch percentage too. He was 55% his first 4 years and 65% the past 3 years. Obviously his role has changed and he is less of a deep threat now but catches a higher percentage of targets because they are less aggressive throws.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I will not complain whatsoever over a 1-year/$5M deal for a clear upgrade at our WR2 position. It's still a glaring hole to fill via the draft, but at least he's better than Miles Boykin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43M Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Solid signing for the Ravens, but they should still get another one early in the draft. Cant depend on him and Id be shocked if he stays a Raven beyond 2021. I feel like Watkins will bounce around on a series of 1 year deals and retire by 30.

bigbadbuff Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Oh Sammy, I’ll never forget him being my favorite Bills pick ever at the time. So so so disappointing. I really thought he was going to be a top 5 wide receiver for a decade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Reed Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I think we still need a WR in the first 2-3 rounds but Hollywood/Watkins/High-ish rookie should be an upgrade over Hollywood/Boykin/Snead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
