Coach Tuesday Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 PLEASE don't delete this thread. I'm not insulting the guy, and I have NOTHING against people with mental disabilities. Believe me. But I seriously want to know, is Roscoe mentally retarded? He is unable to line up correctly half of the time on offense, which is why he does not see the field more (this is per Peter King in the preseason). He's already fumbled away two games this year, and he seems to be uncoachable in the sense that I'm sure April has been in his ear repeatedly about not taking unnecessary risks and not running 30 yards backwards. I really think it needs to be asked, is he mentally crippled, and if so, is it the best idea to have him returning kicks and punts? I'm thinking no. Btw, this game was a joke, but at least it marks the bottom (for now). It's officially over for Jauron (he may last the season, but not longer), and if you think otherwise, please put your money where your mouth is and PM me with a wager.

Fan in Chicago Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 He's already fumbled away two games this year, and he seems to be uncoachable in the sense that I'm sure April has been in his ear repeatedly about not taking unnecessary risks and not running 30 yards backwards. I really think it needs to be asked, is he mentally crippled, and if so, is it the best idea to have him returning kicks and punts? I'm thinking no. I have to wonder what happened to that league leading returner we knew and loved so much. It was very evident after several seasons that he is not cut out to be a WR but his value as a returner was very high. But this year, he is neither returning well nor making any good decisions back there. Make no mistake - he is one of the reasons we lost yesterday but not the sole reason. With the limited success the Browns were having on O, it would not have taken much to win yesterday's game despite Parrish's bone-headed plays. I truly believe his having been on the trading block created a major dis-incentive for him to play well. Not using it as a justification but this seems to be another case where we have to stick to using him as we have slim options. Perhaps April should just tell him to fair catch every ball and just go down immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 true. Schobel going offsides on 3rd down (and negating a Buggs sack) wound up costing 3 points. It was Buggs himself who was offsides.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hossage Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Clevelands tackle moved a little and set schobel and buggs off. It wasnt enough to call, apparently. Eight on the wonderlic test is considered literate. I understand roscoe wondered if he should lick it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 No, Roscoe is not technically mentally disabled. He falls into that category psychologists used to call "Dull Normal." IQ right around 80. Not quite normal intelligence, but not significantly impaired to qualify for government assistance or special consideration. Prognosis: Some possibility for independent living, but will need assistance in some areas, e.g., Doctor appointments, housekeeping, etc... Career options will include grocery cart chasing, NFL punt catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need therapy Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Link Any statements that him being on the trade block might be hurting his performance are BS. He's a professional and is getting paid millions of dollars a year to play football. If he can't get his head in the game and maintain focus, then he shouldn't be playing.

Jeff Wright's Mullet Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Why be suprised about Parrish. When you draft players simple minded athletes (Parrish, Lynch, McKelvin) they make poor decisions both on and off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHampshireBillsFan Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Roscoe, another "clever" pick by Donahoe, who spent his entire career in Buffalo trying to be "clever" to prove it was he and not Cowher who the Steelers should have kept.

colin Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 i'm pretty sure if roscoe worked for or with one of us moving bricks or ripping the heads off of chickens (i don't know what else he'd be doing) we'd be shocked and how goddamn stupid he is and wonder on a daily basis if he's retarded. he's shockingly stupid and shouldn't be on the team.

Cugalabanza Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 What does your IQ have to be in order to be mentally disabled? Well, now days, they use more than just IQ to make the designation.
