As others have stated, the positionals aren't as full blown as something like MNK or DRG or NIN where not using them instantly means you loseDPS, but a SAM not using his positionals correctly will lose DPS overall.
The SAM rotation isn't about doing a rigid rotation however, and it requires on the fly thinking while juggling multiple things at once. Add in movements, and perfect positionals, you're going to find that difference between a good SAM and a bad SAM to be very very noticeable. More so than most other classes apart from something like a BLM.

Though this isn't a jab directed at you, I bet that SAM will be known as the class with the worst players. And it'll be the people who think it's an easy class that will be the ones behind the reins.
