Why I hate "realists"

[LtBillsFan66]

Because everything to them becomes a law.

Take Roscoe Parish for example. Do I know he's going to be good? No. Do I think so? Yes. Why? I think he's got the instincts to succeed. A few plays last year he really juked guys out of their jocks.

Back to the hating "realists" thing... Since he has a freak injury last year, he's labeled as injury prone, too small, etc. B F'in S! Wayne Chrebet wasn't a monster and had a decent career. Will Roscoe be a hall of famer? I'd bet my house that he won't, but I'll give him a change to become a roll player (ala Chrebet) before writing him off.

Hear me "realist" scumbags?

Peace out.

[THATHURMANATOR]

****ing realists!

[LtBillsFan66]

****ing realists!
I'm so angry right now.

Parrish juked guys out of their jocks, then as he ran by they were able to just barely grab a handful of his jersey and that was all it took to make the tackle.

Parrish weighs something like 160 pounds and he's going to be routinely decked by CB's and safeties who are typically in the 180-210 lb range.

He's fast and he has instincts but he's not big or strong enough.

and once again, just because somebody did something somewhere else one time does NOT mean it's going to happen to the Bills. There are a hell of a lot more undersized receivers who didn't make it than there are Steve Smiths and Wayne Chrebets.

[BAM]

I really hope no realists show up at the opener.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Me too Bammer! I won't associate with them that is for sure!

[BAM]

I may be inclined to judo chop one of them.

Question: how good does Parrish have to be to be an upgrade over Reed? And did you notice that with the tightening of enforcement of the contact over 5 yards rule "smurfs" are back in style? Santana Moss is a top 10 receiver IMO and he's barely bigger than Parrish. As a slot guy he's usually going to be matched up with a nickle back and those tend to be smaller. I have some hope for Parrish.

The guy was a rookie for crying out loud. How long did it take Santana Moss do well in the league? I don't give a rats ass if he is easilt tackled as long as he's catching balls for 1st downs.

There's also Steve Smith. Don't throw me that logic about Roscoe is not Smith. We're talking size here.

Yeah I know reality sucks huh? Its much better to kiss some butt, wish on that lucky star in fantasy land than deal with the reality of things.

and once again, just because somebody did something somewhere else one time does NOT mean it's going to happen to the Bills. There are a hell of a lot more undersized receivers who didn't make it than there are Steve Smiths and Wayne Chrebets.Can you find us one post where someone said it WILL happen to the Bills? Give us a break already...the only ones making bold predictions are the ones saying it WON'T happen. The fact that WRs like Chrebet and Smith did it opens up the possibility that it MIGHT happen for the Bills.
C'mon, Op...you're smarter than that....don't go putting words in others' mouths.

[THATHURMANATOR]

I am kinda with you on that one.... I have seen the guy in person. I thought he was a 7th grader. I don't see how he could put on any weight.

C'mon, Op...you're smarter than that....don't go putting words in others' mouths.

You don't get it, do you? First, the odds are AGAINST it happening.

Second, our team is full of this crap this year.

"Well Marv Levy and Bellicheck had losing records as HC's before going to the Bills/Patriots, so Jauron can too"

"Well Sam Adams resurrected his career in Buffalo, so Peerless Price can too"

"Well Jason Peters is a contributor after being undrafted so Martin Nance can too"

"Well Wayne Chrebet was a good role player and he's undersized, so Roscoe Parrish can be one too"

"Well Carson Palmer and Peyton Manning did well in their third year as starters, so JP can too"

"Well Sam Cowart recovered from a torn Achilles so Takeo Spikes can too"

This logic completely discounts all the time it went in the opposite direction and it's far too many question marks. If Roscoe Parrish were on the Miami Dolphins, how many people here would be laughing about his size instead of comparing him to Steve Smith?

[justasportsfan]

Roscoe is not now, nor ever will be Steve smith. We can stop the comparrisons right now.We're talking size here not talent. :coocoo: If he becomes a great no. 3 like Reed was in his rookie year , I'll be happy .Some people here talk he'll fail "because he's small". :rolleyes:

[The_Philster]

again Op...putting words in people's mouths. The possibilities are opened up for those players...you're going on like they have no chance to succeed and you're not rich enough to have those psychic powers...but if you are, Dora should be kicking your ass for not using your powers to win the lotto. ;)

I never said they had no chance- I said what I thought was going to happen: Roscoe will not succeed in the NFL. Who's putting words in people's mouth's now?

[OpIv37]

and I don't see why you and justa seem to think making a general prediction about a football player/ team based on stats, size, past performance etc requires the same type of clairvoyance that it would to pick winning lotto numbers.

I think Roscoe Parrish is too small to play in the NFL, and I don't think what Steve Smith or Wayne Chrebet did had any bearing on it cuz they're the exceptions to the rule and are in different situations. I don't understand why you people think that's so unreasonable.

[OpIv37]

and how the **** did you edit my post?

[Captain gameboy]

Uh oh.

[patmoran2006]

THe wind can blow him over on a windy day.

I will rest my hopes that Andre Davis will be a good number three.. I like him much better as a prospect.

[The_Philster]

and I don't see why you and justa seem to think making a general prediction about a football player/ team based on stats, size, past performance etc requires the same type of clairvoyance that it would to pick winning lotto numbers.Because you ignore other facts that destroy your argument..many players have started out slow and turned their careers around. Is anyone saying Roscoe will definitely turn it around? No..but we are saying the possibility exists. Sorry to say this, but what you're using is Wysian logic.

I don't understand why you people think that's so unreasonable.Personally, I don't have high hopes about Parrish...I really don't think he'll do much in the NFL but where is it written that Smith and Chrebet are the only exceptions to the rule? Is it written in some great book that Parrish can't also be an exception to that rule? If it is, can you give us the title of that book and where we can buy it? It sounds like a helluva book

[justasportsfan]

"and I don't see why you and justa seem to think making a general prediction about a football player/ team based on stats, size, past performance etc requires the same type of clairvoyance that it would to pick winning lotto numbers."

Since you're SO SURE OF YOURSELF that he will fail because of size and don't want to agree that there's a POSSIBILITY he could succeed, then give me a detailed prediction and we'll visit it. Stop makign predictions based on what's common knowledge. Big feakin deal that small players have had problems. FYI, while Roscoe is not Smith or MoSS, he also ISN"T the other players that have failed. Helloo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Justa, you guessing about how a player is going to end up is just as bad about guessing the Bills final record for this year. You don't know it and neither do I.

[Patrick76777]

By the way,

Smith is 5-9 185 pounds and was drafted in the 3rd round.

Parrish is 5-9 168 pounds and was drafted in the 2nd round.


17 pounds and it's a foregone conclusion.

and by the way, we don't need him to be Steve Smith. If he's half of what Steve Smith is, we'll be in good shape.


Writing this guy off is insane.

Parrish never had the chance to show what we saw at camp. The guy was catching every ball thrown his way whether it was a circus catch or not . He was almost every qb's favorite wr. Problem is, he couldn't get into a rythm during the games when he came back from injury with that qb musical chair. Nall is making the smae comment about him catching at camp and yet the "realists" who have never been at camp this year know better.

[Jan Reimers]

Roscoe is not now, nor ever will be Steve smith. We can stop the comparrisons right now.
God, I'm so glad you guys are so much smarter than the rest of us. I once thought I knew something about football, but I'm really happy to know how ignorant I really am.

You have pronounced Parrish as less than Smith, so it must be so.

[ICE74129]

We're talking size here not talent. :coocoo: If he becomes a great no. 3 like Reed was in his rookie year , I'll be happy .Some people here talk he'll fail "because he's small". :rolleyes:

Its not the height justa, its he weighs 160lbs soaking wet. Smith is about 190. Thats a HUGE difference. I thought that hit he took last year (Denver?) damn near killed him.

[!Papacrunk!]

pssssst, he's also afraid of the snow, or at least was at one point. Ok carry on :movie:

[Jan Reimers]

pssssst, he's also afraid of the snow
And spiders and snakes, too. So the guy has moves, blinding speed and great hands. But he's on the Bills, so he'll obviously never amount to crap.

so sure of myself? wtf are you talking about? All I said is that he's too small- most guys his size don't make it. Yeah the possibility that he could succeed exists- just like the possibility exists that lightning could strike outside your house, travel up the cables into your computer and shock you to death. Better step away from the computer right now.

Why is it that a prediction has to be specific and bold to be meaningful for you? I'm not claiming to be psychic or have some kind of expert football knowledge- I'm just stating what usually happens to guys Parrish's size. I know all I'm doing is stating the most likely outcome. But no one wants to hear it.

[OpIv37]

Because you ignore other facts that destroy your argument..many players have started out slow and turned their careers around. Is anyone saying Roscoe will definitely turn it around? No..but we are saying the possibility exists. Sorry to say this, but what you're using is Wysian logic.

Apparently some people need classes in logic. All you did with the Chrebet/Smith examples was prove that it's not impossible. That doesn't make it any more likely and it doesn't account for the hundreds of other undersized players that failed. What makes you so willing to compare Parrish to Chrebet instead of comparing him to, say, Antonio Brown (who btw got cut by the Skins)?

[LtBillsFan66]

You douchbag "realists" need to shut the f up.

[OpIv37]

And spiders and snakes, too. So the guy has moves, blinding speed and great hands. But he's on the Bills, so he'll obviously never amount to crap.

No, he's 168 pounds and lacks muscle, so the most likely outcome is that he'll never amount to crap. It has to do with size and strength, not the team he's on.

[OpIv37]

You prove my point. You are writing the guy off with ifs ands and buts. Give him an ***** chance.

How do Parrish's size and weight compared to other NFL WR's and the people who will be hitting him constitute "ifs and buts"?

You're the one with the if's and buts- if his instincts can compensate for his size, if he's not injury prone (even though it took him twice as long to recover from that injury as it takes most people).

[The_Philster]

All you did with the Chrebet/Smith examples was prove that it's not impossible.By jove I think he's got it :bf1:. Maybe you're not making the bold guarantees that things will or won't happen, but you've certainly given many of us the impression that it's a foregone conclusion he'll fail

[OpIv37]

noone said anything about Parrish definitely succeeding because Chrebet and Smith did...it was merely pointed out that since they did, the possibility exists that Parrish could as well.
Now, if you had meant that people were giving you the impression that they felt Parrish was a sure-fire success, that'd be different (completely off-the-wall because I've yet to see anyone talking like that might be the case, but at least there'd be a similarity with what I said)

What I referred to is the impression you give us...whether you mean to or not, it looks like you've all but eliminated any possibility that Roscoe could succeed...based on how hard you argue against him succeeding.

Read the first post in this thread- BF1 straight up said he thought Parrish would succeed, and he gave Chrebet's success as one of the reasons. He SAID it- nothing implied or anything.

[The_Philster]

I think he's got the instincts to succeed.That was the reason BF1 gave, OP..he used Chrebet as an example of another small player...one who succeeded even though the Jets "realists" back in 1996-97 said he wouldn't because of his size

How about this? Roscoe Parrish at his current size will NOT suceed at the NFL level. He has speed, yes, but so do guys that have 30 pounds on him and will take his head off. He is no threat to run any possession routes because of his size and his limited role is A. punt/kick returner and B. guy who just runs fly patterns.

Granted, yes, he could get muscle and size HOWEVER that will add more weight to his frame and could slow him down. His only real plus is his speed, so even if he puts on 20 pounds of muscle, which he NEEDS to do to be anything more than a gimmick/return specialist guy, he could lose speed due to added mass on his frame.

Parrish was one of the worst Donahoe picks, period.

He is no threat to run any possession routes because of his size and his limited role is A. punt/kick returner and B. guy who just runs fly patterns.

Granted, yes, he could get muscle and size HOWEVER that will add more weight to his frame and could slow him down. His only real plus is his speed, so even if he puts on 20 pounds of muscle, which he NEEDS to do to be anything more than a gimmick/return specialist guy, he could lose speed due to added mass on his frame.

Parrish was one of the worst Donahoe picks, period.

Roscoe Parrish can be a successful player in the NFL. I believe that he will have a solid year, and not just because of his speed.

He is absolutely the quickest NFL player that I have ever seen.

He already had some success last year. Averaging 13.3 yards per punt return is as about as successful as you can get in that capacity. He did catch passes in seven consecutive games last season as well.

The guy was not drafted to be on the field all the time. If he gets a couple impact touches a game (long gainers and/or first downs) and continues to be a great punt returner, then I would consider him plenty successful in his role.

hell, just bring back the whole 2002 squad- We're still paying Bledsoe and Mike Williams so that shouldn't be too hard.

No we're not.
