Let's see how a WR who wasn't talented enough for the Buffalo Bills does with Tom Brady throwing to him. (EDIT: It has since been revealed that this tweet was incorrect. Naaman did not sign with the Pats.) PTR Edited December 20, 2012 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Dude's probably get a fat ring on his finger... Wouldn't that be something if he is one of the few ex-Bills that ends up with a ring. I may need to keep a barf bucket next to my chair, but if NE makes the big dance I will have to be hoping for them to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR i cant say the patriots have some overwhelmingly great WR grouping that makes it a much greater feat than making our roster. AFC East wrs are pretty dismal all around. its about the best spot possible if hes going to shine though. wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 The kid is only a legend here because he was a local boy playing for the Bills. He struggled to stay on this team and people were blindly rooting for him cause he played locally for UB. If he was from any other place no one would mention his name here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was from any other place no one would mention his name here there are literally dozens of him around the league. honestly the guys that tend to fill slots 6-7 on any given roster, the practice squad, and the first call ups for late season injuries are all VERY close in talent and skill at WR. they will shuffle around quite a bit during their careers. typically being familiar with a coach on the staff from either a previous NFL team, or college is the quickest way they find a job come december as you want to know that this is a guy that can pick up your system quick. if this amounts to more than a quick bandaid role for him with the pats, congrats for sure though.

PTR it makes for a cool story but ultimately, unless hes the best player for the job, its not the right reason to keep him. Root all day. what i think he was saying was some act like hes the next GREAT wr that is going to turn the league upside down, but everyone on our staff has missed it, and somehow also kept him a secret from the rest of the league. sidenote: is this actually confirmed? i dont know anything about this source and see many asking him where he got it.

Dean Cain Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 They must have liked Roosevelt's 60 yard touchdown on a slant vs the Gmen in the Meadowlands. Roosevelt is a poor man's Wes Welker. He's got great hands & a high football IQ. Next up Michael Jasper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 False: Naaman Roosevelt @nyce18 Thanks everybody but I didn't sign with the pats and it comes full circle. its a shame for him. sadly with the pats, depending on how they think rumors broke or how far it got, it might really hurt his chances. despite what some may consider negativity towards him, id love to see him do well still.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 The kid is only a legend here because he was a local boy playing for the Bills. He struggled to stay on this team and people were blindly rooting for him cause he played locally for UB. If he was from any other place no one would mention his name here He struggled to stay on this team because we had no use for a capable route runner who is always in the expected place and has velcro hands - he wasn't a burner like Graham or a big guy like Jones or Nelson. Well hey y'all guess what, being in the right place and hanging on to the ball is important too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
