Quote:TMD, you have barely seen him play.  How would you know?

 

It's not a dumb move because he is the most sure bet at receiver, WHICH WE NEED.

 

This is stupid, I've seen enough to make that statement. You act like you need to watch all 30+ of his college games from beginning to end to harbor opinions about a player. I've watched several of his games in college and have watched  most of his youtube cut ups. Sorry, I don't see where the gushing is coming from. As said, in watching Blackmon in college, and many of his intermediate and deeper receptions he would make and then after those longer catches, still make moves on defenders to tack on extra yardage or take plays to the house, yeah - he looked like a guy that was going to be a big time impact player in the NFL, if not right away even....I do not get that feeling by watching Sammy Watkins and his 70% short pass / screen crap. Can I tell Sammy is talented? Sure, but he's not this "special" player that some of you insist. I definitely don't see Sammy as being all that successful right out of the gate. At least IMO. We'll see who winds up right.
