Do you guys remember when guys here hated Parrish?

[Patrick76777]

Roscoe is the man!

[Night Train]

I was very happy when we extended him.

Cheap deal for a spot WR & punt returner extraordinaire.

[Ebenezer]

My stance hasn't changed. Great PR, marginal receiver (4th man at best) and drafted because he was teammates with McGahee.

[HHURRICANE]

I still don't love the pick but he has played great on special teams. He needs to be replaced by Hardy though because he's just not big enough to be on the field.

[lordofgun]

He's a game-changer! Great pick!

[BAM]

He's a game-changer! Great pick!

I totally agree. That man is one of the sickest returnmen I've ever seen. He'll end up being one of the best IMO!

[gr8slayer]

Stupid Donahoe :shakeno:

[OpIv37]

he's hard to utilize as a WR but he's worth the roster spot for his return ability.

[RockStar36]

I've never disliked the Parrish pick or Parrish himself. He needs to get the ball more often.

[OpIv37]

also don't forget that we had no first rounder that year so Roscoe was our highest pick- you can't really blame people for being concerned that our highest draft pick for that year was a 5'7" WR.

All Hester can do is be a returner. I don't see any hate against him. Go Roscoe.

It doesn't hurt that he's THE best returner of all time.

He isn't yet but yes he is getting there. The point is every time he touches the ball something can happen good or bad but you can feel it and I get the same thing with Roscoe. Wasn't Parrish near the top as a PR last year?

[DaBillzAhDaShiznit]

I don't think many people hated Roscoe....I just think many people questioned how he fits in on a team with other small receivers. I am glad he is here, and don't think size matters as much for a WR as some think. Look at Steve Smith...one of the best and he's a little guy.

[PECKERWOOD]

I think people overlook Roscoe's ability as a WR only because he is hands down the 2nd best return man in the NFL behind only Devin Hester. He has grown to become one of my favorite players to watch. Probably the best PR to ever grace a Bills uniform.

[The Spaz]

He already became the Bills all-time PR passing Jeff Burris yesterday.

[ALL D]

he deserved all the criticism he received. When he took hits his first few games, he crumbled...
Good thing they toughened him up a little...
he is a star now...

He's one away from the record that took Mitchell over a decade to set. He's the best of all time.

[Mr. Pink]

I don't hate him as a player...he's an exciting, great returner.

But then again, there are plenty of those in the league..

Problem is we picked him in the 2nd round...2nd round players are supposed to be difference makers on offense and defense...Parrish, nothing against the guy, will never be a difference maker on the offense side of the ball.

I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion but you can get exciting return men as UDFA, look at Cribbs in Cleveland for example.

Roscoe is a great returner, but he was a luxury pick by Donahoe when Buffalo had critical needs. It's debatable that he was the best player available.

There's no debate, at the time it he wasn't the best player available and at the time it was a horrible pick. In retrospect it turned out to be a fine pick and a pick that has made us even better (if it's possible) at ST's. Donahoe wasn't as bad as everyone made him out to be.
