Makes you appreciate getting Martavis in the 4th

[Jeffro]

That's so bad if he was on my fantasy team I would have gone all Donald Trump and told him "you're fired".

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Is it ebonics if I can read the paragraph and know that a black person wrote it,,? Without looking at who wrote it? Just askin..

 

[slashsteel]

never-mind was thinking of something different...

 

[antdrewjosh]

Ebonics is not bad grammar, bad punctuation or spelling.
Ebonics is using popular slang terms when speaking.

 

[Sarge]

The proper term is African American Vernacular English.

Ebonics is so 1995.

Excuse me stewardess, I speak Jive.

i see what you did there

Yet here you are still STILL equating his bad grammar with blackness, and still not understanding how that's racist. Shut the **** up

You've never met me once and you have the nerve to call me a racist? Eat ****, **** off, then die, slimeball

He didn't call you "a racist", he's saying some of your comments are racist. Saying someone is lying in a specific instance doesn't imply that they are a habitual "liar". Same thing.

But they're not, and the whole "it's not you, it's your words" is crap. I refuse to sit in the corner and suck my thumb when some ********** a half a world away wants to call me a racist, when that couldn't be further from the truth.

Sounds like something a racist might say.

I've had enough. Get back on topic or the thread goes.

Before you bash Watkins for going off, keep in mind the idiots that he's probably replying to in that message. I can only imagine the disrespectful crap that he has to see in his Twitter mentions.

Poor him and his million dollar salary. Part of being an athlete is dealing with criticism

Ebonics is ghetto thug trash language that disrespectful gang bangers use. Its not a black or white language or racist term. Its just ghetto language. Every race has their ghetto fab that society looks down upon

 

[nooneuno]

The Bills could have stayed put and drafted Odell Beckham Jr. It was incredibly unwise to give up so much for a WR, in a class that was just loaded with WRs. Piss-poor approach to building a team.

That is why the draft is hit and miss. You go off your board. You could use the same argument and say why didn't the Giants wait till the 4th round and draft Bryant he might have been better value.


They sure gave up a lot to go up and get him but Watkins was the out and out #1WR that year. Even the Giants said Watkins was rated higher than OBJ on their board

So maybe next time he'll write it in trailer trash maybe.. But anyways Andrewjosh is right, he's using slang.. A common vocabulary that young people use, Hell my screen name is slang but it doesn't mean I'm ghetto or gang banging. Ebonics is just a word rascist made up because they can't deal with the ever changing slang of the English dictionary these days. Rich white people in Hollywood uses slang, everyone uses slang. The word Ebonics is just old and baseless because every race says/does the same things in 2015.

You're name is just a user name. Using it here and there doesnt bother me one bit. I grew up in a ghetto area of my city and got out. I associate ebonics with gang banging cause it's what I saw first hand and what is seen in media. But to label it to just black people? No. It's more of a youth/cultural(ghetto) thing. Same with trailer trash. People just stereotype. Not all trailer trash are whites. It's a double edged sword to talk about this kind of subject so I steer clear of it

Back on topic. So Sammy Watkins is not as good as Bryant because he didn't miss 4 games with a rookie pot problem and is one test away from missing half a year?

I appreciate Bryant's talent and ability, but if he can't get on the field due to his need for green, he's useless.

On the field though, I'll take Bryant over Watkins and honestly I'm not even hesitating

 

[Steelerfan81]

Watkins hasn't showed much. And he apparently has a lot more growing up to do than Martavis. At least Martavis has people like Ben as a support system and seems to know he had/has a problem

 

[insaniti]

It isn't even really a comparison. Bryant is faster, can jump higher, is 2" taller, and a better route runner after the work he put in during the summer.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

I agree. But at Clemson,, Watkins got the passes and accolades.

 

[MTC]

Watkins weighs more right? Eh Martavis is more explosive off the line. Hes too strong for db's also

 

[Litos]

As good as Watkins might be right now or become in a couple of years, he wasn't worth the trade up given the WR depth of the draft class.
