Why does DJ look like a starter in this league and RP look like a roll player? IMO Roscoe is a much better player but they are very similar. My question is, is it the coaching style or is it the player?

Re: Desean Jackson vs. Roscoe Parrish
DeSean has seriously studied the wide receiver position. He's worked with his brother, a former Chiefs practice squad receiver, since he was a child.
He also was trained by Jerry Rice.

Re: Desean Jackson vs. Roscoe Parrish
I guess they are roughly the same size and are similar athletes. Both entered the draft early and they are both excellent returners.
However, Jackson is a much more polished WR. He runs better routes and knows how to set up a DB and then burn him deep. He has made a ton more big plays, both in college and in the NFL.
Just look at their college stats:
Jackson - 162 Rec for 2,423 Yds, 22 TD
Parrish - 81 Rec for 1,285, 11 TD
So Jackson was basically twice the WR in college.
Just because guys are similar athletes doesn't mean they play similar. WR requires so much more than just running and catching to be good. You have to know how to read a defense and set up your route. You need to have good techniques and make adjustments in a manner consistent with how the QB reads the defense. It isn't just running downfield.

Re: Desean Jackson vs. Roscoe Parrish
Parrish cant get open, this offense doesnt use his skills properly either, he should be getting 2-3 screens or short passes in space a game
also have him run that stupid wildcat crap, or send him long once a game and actually throw it to him
Turk sucksXTRA CRISPY XTRA SAUCEY

Re: Desean Jackson vs. Roscoe Parrish
DeSean is ten times more talented than Roscoe. They are the same size and have similar speed but still Jackson has better hands and you people should not underrate how important for a WR is the ability to run routes.I am the rocker, I am the roller, I am the out-of-controller!

I guarantee that BB would make him potent in those screen passes.

Re: Desean Jackson vs. Roscoe Parrish
Jackson is a more complete wideout, but that doesn't change the fact that our coaching staff makes no effort to utilize Parrish. Its ridiculous, especially considering that he is one of the most dangerous people in the NFL in the open field.
Mike Lombardi, a writer and former GM of a few teams, said that Parrish (along with Devin Hester) was the most underutilized player in the league.
Of course, our coaching staff doesn't even try to get our #1 receiver who makes $9 million a year the ball; why would they be concerned with the #4 wideout?"Miami played pretty damn good today and still got their ass kicked."
