Bills are starting to putting a lot of pressure on

[Pyrite Gal]

Do you realize that he has not caught 70 passes in any year since he left Buffalo and has regressed stat wise every year since 2002?

Yep, I'm fully aware of this but I think is likely he'll do fine here because:

 

1. He just does not have the temperament or the ability to be a#1 NFL receiver. No prob here with the Bills plans as he is not our #1 but our #2,

 

2. He did not work well with singular talents and style of Michael Vick. No prob here as no will mistake any of the Bills QBs for Vick, It will be interesting to see if this issue for PP extends to a guy with the mobility and "run for your life" habits of a JP or is it an issue with the run first/pass second style of Vick.

 

However, even though JP is the early likely QB for the Bills KH and Nall also will have their fair shot as we will improve by allowing the QB decision to maade based on on-field performance rather than from on high by a TD or by fan acclimation.

 

3. It would not be a shocker if playing in his hometown with its ton of distractions from friends, relatives asking for tickets and the constant assessment and love based on your play from folks you are used to reacting to you because of you weighed on PP's game.

 

4. It is really good news to here from the media that he still has his speed and no signs of the droppsies. It will even work for us if he produces at a catch amount of a #3 WR as he still will be in 3 WR sets where his speed, Evans speed, and Parrish open field ability will drive DC's mad.

 

One cannot ignore his regression in every stat since he left just as one cannot simply ignore the fact he improved in every major stat category each year he was here. The wildcard is whether his eyesight andhealth are fine and whether he still has his speed. It sounds like he does so I see that Bills fans cannot reasonable be anything but hopeful about his return.

I see plenty of reason to be skeptiocal, not anything but hopeful, that Price will catch 70-80 balls this season.

 

Pyrite is fools gold and one must be foolish to believe the confluence of events you listed will all come to fruition.

 

Weather or not Price is labeled a 1st, 2nd or 3rd receiver is not particularly relevant. Price had a career season in 2002 in large part because he had a receiver who had proven he could draw double teams. I like Evans but he has not proven himself in this regard.

 

In Peerless Price's one good season he had a proven deep ball QB who was pass oriented first last and always. He was never able to regain that form even when paired up with that same QB last year. With this years Bills he does not have a proven QB. Losman might be able to perform at that level, at least he has the arm, but he is not pass oriented like Bledsoe was and has some accuracy issues. Holcomb does not have the arm to go deep. I don't know about Nall but just not knowing enough about him other than he wasn't sought by his old team has me skeptical that he will approach a Bledsoe circa 2002 performance.

 

Home town distractions? Desperate grasping at straws. He didn't have those distractions last year but usually wasn't even active for games.

 

In a game where performance drops quickly with age and an average careers is 4 years or less, I think his dropping performance over the last 3 years is far more relevant than his rising performance in his first 3 years. That is especially true if you expect him to perform at a level he has achieved only once in his entire career.

Arn't we expecting a little too much from a #2 WR at this point?

Surely people will be thrilled if Price puts up a 55-60 catch 750-900 YDS season.

I know I will be if he does....that would imply Evans would be doing even better & our QB(whoever it turns out to be) is getting the ball to the WRs.

I'm a bit skeptical that he will do that but I would be thrilled those numbers and those aren't pie in the sky expectations that some profess.

I see Parrish as a Dante Hall type of player. He's gonna be extremely dangerous on kick/punt returns and he'll be a pretty solid guy at 3rd or 4th WR on passing downs. Dante Hall only gets about 30-40 catches in a good year, but we've all seen the effect of his special teams efforts. Roscoe could have the same effect.
