Culture cancers is what they are - you don’t accept it you don’t live with it. It’s going to bite you when it matters the most and you approach it that way from the outset. Get your head on right give max effort or get gone. They absolutely are replaceable

This is non-sense! Winnie is about to GO OFF against Kentucky. Incoming +90 receiving yards and 2 TDs

Surely someone has informed him he is losing thousands of dollars by putting these kind of plays on film... Does Winnie think scouts just look at his stats ?

Not his first time being lazy. Glad they put barber in. Id give him one more chance before a seriously long benching

Same. There may be a game down the road where Barber is the guy that needs to step in & produce. Now he has the experience of doing it in a game.

Acting like he should start over our leading WR after a good showing against FCS DBs is a bit dramatic

This is multiple games now of him doing things like this.

Idc how good a player is, if that’s the effort/attitude you’re gonna give then gtfo.

Yes but the fact that Kiffin literally said Watkins was benched because he dropped two easy TD passes so he put in Barber debunks every argument you are trying to make here. Just let it go. Watkins sucked and he got benched for someone who could get the job done in that certain game. Kiffin will not put up with half arse play no matter who you are.

That's true...pump the brakes on Barber a bit for now and let's see him do this against some SEC defenses.
Maybe he will end up just as valuable to us as Darby is to Kentucky as a true freshman.
Perhaps Barber stealing reps from Watkins is what needed to happen to light a fire under him. Watkins needs to block and if he doesn't he should take reps off.
I wonder if Jabari Mack just hasn't progressed as much as Barber?

Yes that happened in this game

That doesn’t mean it is happening or should happen in any future games. That is the whole premise of this thread, right?

If Watkins doesn’t perform next week or in a big game - sure, give Barber another shot to step in. But Watkins isn’t getting benched moving forward bc of this game

Watkins has been great other than a few plays.

he really hasn't. he's been great a few plays, and lazy and inconsistent on the rest. This has been the case all year. He only seems to give good effort on plays he thinks the ball is coming to him. He has a shite ton of talent. So, I hope he figures it out.

He’s definitely had some shocking moments on tape. The La tech interception was some of the worst effort I have seen. Looks like Lane had enough and sent Barber out there. Hopefully Watkins gets the message.

Calm down buddy.

He got benched in the McNeese game. He isn’t getting benched moving forward because of it

It will be a slow death, but you cant teach effort, concentration, and desire.

Talent? Yes. But there have been tons of talented guys that fade.

Bruh, he dropped not 1 but 2 wide open bombs. If he was be lazy on routes and blocking as well, no wonder he got benched. He's putting some shitty film clips together that will cost him come draft day.

I think Phillip Wright III would already have Watkins' spot if he hadn't gotten hurt.

Your comprehension needs work too. You are trying way to hard which is funny because you still haven’t grasped the point. Just take the loss.

Look at the support he’s gotten vis the bites and look at yours for your asinine comment. Now shut up.
