I agree, great punt returners can change games. Also, I doubt that Atlanta would be willing to part with much in return. At this point I am not sold on Parrish as a reciever. I'm not sure if it's the coaching not putting him in a position to use his ability, or him. I do admit I would like to see him in this new offense.He shows such great ability on punt returns that I want so bad to see that ability work in the offense. I hope they keep him, But I think its a make or break year for him if he wants to prove he can be a reciever in this league.

I think you raise a legitimate point about his size and therefore his ability to stay healthy. Tasker was a good punt returner when he did it, but was not in Roscoe's class. Tasker was mainly a special teams guy but played reciever sparingly towards the end of his career. If i remember correctly, he ended up getting hurt because of it.

Dean, thanks for correcting that ridiculous post. Maybe he should take a look at Roscoe's return average before commenting. Returners like Parrish change field position which can make or break a game.

Marv Levy once said that there was a percentage of people from any particular football city that rooted against the team in the area in which they resided. I believe this to be true. There will always be people who live in western new york who will be critical of the Bills no matter what. Some people who live here just don't want the "home" team to do well. They want things to go badly for the Bills. I am not saying that we cannot be critical of the Bills. THey certainly have deserved some criticism. But there will always be those who just don't want the Bills to succeed.
