I thought growing old would take longer
Team A sends Sammy Watkins and receives Michael Crabtree, Ameer Abdullah
PPR I'd rather have Abdullah.Team A sends Sammy Watkins and receives Michael Crabtree, Ameer Abdullah
It's 2 for 1 and it is PPR.PPR I'd rather have Abdullah.
NonPPR I'd rather not.
I think AA is line for a lot of targets as a receiver this year.It's 2 for 1 and it is PPR.
Ok, sure but the deal is Watkins for Abdullah AND Crabtree who has led the Raiders in targets and receiving TD's the past 2 years.I think AA is line for a lot of targets as a receiver this year.
I'm not confident with him having a ton of success as a ball carrier. (No left tackle.)
That's his ceiling though imo. And he'll be thirty in a month.Ok, sure but the deal is Watkins for Abdullah AND Crabtree who has led the Raiders in targets and receiving TD's the past 2 years.

Well, Abdullah is always hurt, Watkins is always hurt. . so it comes down to, is the difference between Watkins and Crabby a starting RB? Hell no, not in any format. I'm not even sure there's a measurable difference in their respective values unless you want to look 3 years or further from now
Gimme the Crabby and Abdullah side
Well that's either a lie, or he wasn't injured all those other times, he was fakingAbdullah was doing a local interview the other day and talking about being injured last year. He said it was the first time in his life he has missed games because of injuries.

Is it though? How long do we give guys with "potential" that benefit? I would love to agree, as strictly physical ability speaking, yes Watkins is better than Crabby.. but results, and most of all, dependability/availability have to eventually outweigh the maybes, mightbes and couldbe's. And even if they don't, that potential isn't worth a starting RBWatkins upside is significantly higher than Crabtrees

However thus far he's also shown he can't play a entire season and he's played enough seasons to downgrade him for that.I think so. I think Watkins potential is as high as anybody's. Not saying he'll be the top WR but the potential is there. Crabtree (while a very good player) I cant see performing any better than he has these past 2 seasons.
I would agree the potential isnt enough though if it were just potential. But Watkins has been fantastic when hes played. Hes not like Fournette or Corey Davis where you just have to hope. Hes shown he can be a stud at the NFL level.
I've seen enough good to great games to confidently say that IF he'd ever play a full season, up to his potential, he'd probably be a high end WR2/low WR1..Crabby is a mid to upper WR2 already. . the difference between a low end 1/ high #2 and a strong WR2, to me, is like a handcuff type RB, or possibly a lesser end of a time share. .. not a guy like AbdullahI think so.

Well to be fair Abdullah hasn't proved anything yet, this season going to be real important to his career. He needs to step it up and produce or his stock is going to drop like walking off a cliff.I've seen enough good to great games to confidently say that IF he'd ever play a full season, up to his potential, he'd probably be a high end WR2/low WR1..Crabby is a mid to upper WR2 already. . the difference between a low end 1/ high #2 and a strong WR2, to me, is like a handcuff type RB, or possibly a lesser end of a time share. .. not a guy like Abdullah
