It's all good. No one outside this board would ever compare Quick to Watkins anyhow.
What we should be comparing Watkins too is GRob.
How's that looking btw?
Or if we really want to stir the pot ,we could compare how many games Ndmukong Suh has missed due to injury vs. Sam Bradford . That's a more long term comparison vs. two games into players rookie years.
See I wanted the Rams to pick Suh , but I let it go as soon as the pick was made because it served no purpose for me to keep cursing the darkness,I got squarely behind Sam and have never wavered because I knew two things ,one his success was integral to my goals, two ALL I could do by holding on and carping about it was going to do is alienate many of the guys around here with NO UPSIDE .
BTW Sammy Watkins came to the league being asked to do what he was already well versed in,GROB was only rarely asked to pass protect so the learning curve for each is far different , GROB was asked to learn TWO positions , where his ability to put someone on the bench was this, two former Pro Bowlers and the guy who graded out at the top of the league as a guard for the last six games of last year .
Watkins displaced who ? I'm asking cuz I don't know.
They are both splendid athletes,and BTW IF the trade that Buffalo gave for that pick had been offered to the Rams ,IS THERE any doubt we'd have taken it ?
In fact I think we'd have gotten more maybe a 4th if the Bills had been convinced the Rams were going to do what you wanted them to do,so you'd then be in the position of comparing Watkins to three players ,speculation? sure but comparing Watkins after two games to GROB after two games ain't nuthin' but that.
