Kelly the Dog Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I'm having a hard time seeing how you can compare Parrish to Welker. Because they are smallish, skinny, shifty, extremely explosive and elusive WR with good hands? Parrish will never be as good as Welker, who is tougher, has slightly better hands, gets off the line better and is a smarter player. But Parrish is a little shiftier, faster, and harder to catch. They are not really close as far as production, but I think if you put Parrish in Welker's place on the Patriots the last two years, opposite of Moss, with Brady and Cassel throwing to him, and the Pats coaches finding ways to get him the ball, he has 70 catches instead of 100, but a better YPC and probably as many TDs. Sure, it's impossible to know for sure but Parrish has a ton of underutilized talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Does this mean they no longer would be interested in Simmons? Any news on who (or what picks) we would give up? If they are going to give away a third it should be next years. Fourth or below this year. They claim that it'll take a deal "similiar to Stroud's" last year. If a 3rd and 5th is what it takes, send em' away tonight and get him in here tomorrow That's too much in my opinion. He's 32 and probably only has two to three years left. Stroud was 29 when Buffalo traded for him. If we sign Coles, we could give them Roscoe and a 5th round pick or something like that for Waters. Pioli and Cassel can have their version of Wes Welker and we don't have to give up a high pick. Fred Jackson returns punts with Leodis there when we need him. That is the best idea I've seen yet. If that happened I'd be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billnutinphoenix Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 How about a 3rd and WR Roscoe Parrish for Waters?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo1983 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 How about a 3rd and WR Roscoe Parrish for Waters?... How about just a 3rd. No need to have Parrish in there at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 How about just a 3rd. No need to have Parrish in there at all. Exactly, If Roscoe goes then anything other than a 5th or lower would be a rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo1983 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Exactly, If Roscoe goes then anything other than a 5th or lower would be a rip off. Ya.. Just like in the other thread. People want to trade him if we get coles. Their is no need for any of that a all. Parrish would still work perfect on this team even after adding another receiver.

ans4e64 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Nice try, but it's not even close. I mean no offense at all, but you're way off on this one. Do you remember Welker on the Dolphins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Do you remember Welker on the Dolphins? As in, a great talent whose original team didn't know how to use him correctly? Check the archives here, and you'll find that I was comparing him to Tasker even then. http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showt...5&hl=welker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrish would still work perfect on this team even after adding another receiver. The problem as I see it is that the Bills have a great WR corp with some good young guys that are set to blossom soon and one of them would have to go if the Bills manage to sign Coles. The Bills have McKelvin, McGee and Jackson as returners Parrish isn't needed as much anymore and if he can fetch a draft pick then let him go.

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Why does someone need to go? Keeping 7 recievers is hardly unheard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Nice try, but it's not even close. I mean no offense at all, but you're way off on this one. While I agree they aren't the same, you have to believe that Parrish, on another team (like the Pats*, for example) would be a HUGE weapon, if you also consider his return abilities. Just because Roscoe hasn't produced in the Bills horrid joke of an offense, doesn't mean the guy can't deliver somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Why does someone need to go? Keeping 7 recievers is hardly unheard of. Especially when one of them (Jenkins) isn't really a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I think it's also worth noting that Brian Waters is probably one of the dirtier players in the league. With Brad Butler's history if you put both Waters and Butler out there at the same time you're likely to see some pretty nervous DT's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepthefaith Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 A move like this tells me the Bills think they are a playoff team next year. You don't bring a guy like this in if you are just trying to appease fans. Most fans won't get excited about this possible move but this would be a huge upgrade over Dockery. Hope we get it done! Tell him to bring his buddy Tony with him..... Come on people, 4 pages and no reference to coach Mora? Queue it up.... Playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 The Chefs already gave away a high 2nd round pick for an ancient linebacker and a QB that couldn't get the best team in football to playoffs.....maybe we can get Waters for an eighth round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
