Bill from NYC Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Think Wes Welker would be successful in the league under the Bills' offense of the past three seasons? Serious question. And a good one! To the degree that he was a success at NE (or anywhere near it)? Of course not. The difference is (imo) that Welker was acquired by NE via trade as a finishing touch, after they had a strong, solid team. Parrish (along the lines of "Blood" Spiller) was the Bills first selection of a draft. They were both (again, imo) flashy players drafted to sell tickets. These are not guys to build a team around, or so I think. Btw, despite the fact that we frequently disagree, I do always enjoy the dialogue. Let's hope that Wang heals quickly so that there is even the slightest hope of having a legit LT at some point down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 With seven--count 'em seven whole PRs. Sure... Yeah, but look at his average!! What...7 isn't enough to matter?? But 21 makes you "the best in history"? Come on---such a predictable response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Roscoe needs to find a good professional touch football league to play in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Long Beach Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Roscoe has some talent. He's worked well as a punt returner. I don't believe he's the best in the NFL by any stretch, but he's good. Or he WAS good. Punt and kick returners typically have a short career due to the kamikaze nature of the position. While I agree that our offense has repeatedly sucked and have not made good use of our players talents, Roscoe hasn't shown much as a WR. Welker has always shown that he's been a good WR, and is a spectacular one in a good system with a good QB. Hester has shown he can be a bit of a WR, but Dante Hall never did. I think that Roscoe is more like Dante. He's repeatedly shown that he can't get open and I don't think that will change. If he gets his mojo back as a PR he might stick on the roster and occasionally show up for a gadget offensive play. but IMO that's the best case scenario. I think that it's more likely he'll be cut.

Lurker Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Yeah, but look at his average!! What...7 isn't enough to matter?? But 21 makes you "the best in history"? Come on---such a predictable response. No, 21 don't. But 118 and counting might, if 2009 was an abberation. Time to pull your plug, I guess, seeing that you like to ignore stats/performance that don't fit your agenda and only focus on things that do. Very Fox News-ish...

Hossage Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Think Wes Welker would be successful in the league under the Bills' offense of the past three seasons? Serious question. Miami couldnt seem to get him the ball. I think Jauron would use him exactly as he used Josh Reed. Excellent observation. i was walking in the woods today and the same exact thought occurred to me. There is no doubt that if Roscoe went to the Patriots he would rack up all sorts of stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Think Wes Welker would be successful in the league under the Bills' offense of the past three seasons? Serious question. Josh Reed, who was our version of Welker, had the best season of his career (in only 13 games) under Jauron. http://www.nfl.com/players/joshreed/profile?id=REE314559 So yes. Roscoe Parrish is not a good NFL receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Parrish is a gadget player. Period. He was in the doghouse last season. Did they get any trade offers? Is there a demand for Roscoe Parrish around the league? He is exciting to watch at times but was a collossal waste of a high draft pick in terms of building a winning football team. What else is new? I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that he's also lost a step. That was the problem last year. He did not look like the same player at any point last year. I'm sure he's still a 4.4 guy but for guys like Roscoe and Dante Hall, their games are so finesse that a slight loss of quicks is the difference between outstanding and out of the league. In the passing game the non-existence of any sort of force or power in his game and his miniscule catching radius make him all but useless. He's not that much smaller than guys like Welker or Steve Smith, but Welker is a powerful small and Smith is so acrobatic that he actually has a catching radius of a large receiver which allows him to be a factor downfield. Those skills also mean DB's must respect them as a deep threat which creates a cushion Roscoe is not afforded. Those two are both far smoother than Roscoe as well. Subtle, quiet movement in a route is effective in the same manner that a change-up is as a pitch in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that he's also lost a step. That was the problem last year.

I'm sure he's still a 4.4 guy but for guys like Roscoe and Dante Hall, their games are so finesse that a slight loss of quicks is the difference between outstanding and out of the league. Spot on. Most punt return specialists have a relatively short window of success. I think anyone expecting Parrish to lead the league in PRs in 2010 will be in for a disappointment.

Very Fox News-ish... i was with you until the fox news commentary, and it's funny, but you can really say that about any media outlet. you'd really have to go with very "any media outlet-ish". it's all agenda driven, brother, virtually all news is opinion-based and designed to sell ad space. anyway, couldn't stand by and watch you defend roscoe while being sucked into the matrix.
