He also confirms that Lynch was NOT in attendance again today.

Completely forgot we still had him.

Re: Parrish getting fresh start

I just don't see him as a weapon on offense. He runs crappy routes and he's too easy to drag down, so he's really only effective in space. And I think his size makes it hard for QB's to find him. He's had plenty of opportunities to crack the lineup but has never made it above 3rd on the depth chart.

Maybe Gailey can find a use for him, but I'm not holding my breath. He's just another Miami guy with a bad attitude who racked up college stats against inferior teams.

Under Dick, Evans and TO had the worst season of their careers. We could've had Welker instead of Parrish and he would have been useless.

I think we have better options then Parrish... but then he was never was used properly as a WR since the day we drafted him..

but how much of that is due to our poor coaching, and how much of that is due to his own shortcomings? It's a double variable situation, but I suspect his own shortcomings have a lot to do with it.

Re: Parrish getting fresh start

I don't buy the "Parrish was never used properly" excuse. I think he just sucks. He might have a career year (break 300 yards, maybe?) this year, but if he does it's out of necessity, not from talent.

I think he may stick around this year, but should definitely be replaced next year.

Re: Parrish getting fresh start

He brings more to the table then Reed ever did. We know he is good in space and can take it the distance. I think Gailey uses him properly and is a weapon this year.
The Levy/Jauron/Russ clusterf*** was the worse coaching/management in Bills history imo.

Reed was money on 3rd down and far more consistent over the course of his career than Parrish. The problem with Reed is that he's a solid #3 WR that the Bills tried to turn into a #2 WR. The problem with Parrish is that he's a punt returner/scat-back that the Bills try to use at WR because that's what he played in college. They have no problems switching the positions of half our draft picks every year or putting in a new defensive system that requires 5 starters to learn new positions, but for some reason they keep trying to pound a square peg into a round hole with Parrish.

No one knows but one things for sure, no one has flourished under Dick offensively but Jackson. Even then , Dick chose Lynch over Jackson.


If you look at Dicks history as a HC, other than one exceptional year, his offenses ranked at the bottom of the league no matter who his players were. In other words, he is clueless offensively and the players pay for it.

Re: Parrish getting fresh start

Reed sucks. notice he was immediately let go by Gailey and has yet to sign with anybody. He has to be the slowest wr in the NFL.
Parrish has skills that can be used with GOOD coaching, something that hasn't been seen around here for a long time.
And he should have never come off of punt returns either last year. A couple of bad mental errors and he is gone to the bench ??? He was one of the few players who could actually make a big play on this team. Typical Jauron.

A couple of bad mental errors?

After 5 years in the league the guy made the same mental errors that he did as a rookie. It was one of the few times in Jauron's career that he actually held a player accountable for their performance.

Re: Parrish getting fresh start

The guy was the best punt returner in the league for three years. What, did he forget how under Jauron last year ? Jauron screwed so many people up on this team he couldn't just put him back there and let him be.

Let us know when/if Reed is actually on a team come Sept.12th.

he was always a feast-or-famine punt returner. He'd have a spectacular return, then follow it up by trying to catch the ball on the fly, or fielding the ball inside the ten, or running backwards to get an angle and losing 8 yards. He never got over those mental mistakes. The guy was a liability as much as he was an asset. Man, people on this site have some extremely selective memories.
