Coach Tuesday Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 PLEASE don't delete this thread. I'm not insulting the guy, and I have NOTHING against people with mental disabilities. Believe me. But I seriously want to know, is Roscoe mentally retarded? He is unable to line up correctly half of the time on offense, which is why he does not see the field more (this is per Peter King in the preseason). He's already fumbled away two games this year, and he seems to be uncoachable in the sense that I'm sure April has been in his ear repeatedly about not taking unnecessary risks and not running 30 yards backwards. I really think it needs to be asked, is he mentally crippled, and if so, is it the best idea to have him returning kicks and punts? I'm thinking no. Btw, this game was a joke, but at least it marks the bottom (for now). It's officially over for Jauron (he may last the season, but not longer), and if you think otherwise, please put your money where your mouth is and PM me with a wager.

Read every post I have ever put up about the guy - he needs to go as does this coaching staff
rsxfirefighter Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Well..did you expect anything less from a malcontent....he stated all offseason that he doesnt want to be in Buffalo....and well...If his actions dont speak louder than his words, then there really are dumbarses in Buffalo Front Office...
MRM33064 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Look up Roscoe's Wonderlic score. Unfortunately though, Roscoe's intellect level (or lack thereof) is about problem #28 on the priority list.
uticaclub Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 he has the lowest score in the history of the wonderlic test, i can't find the link but it was extremely low. much lower then vince young's score
DDD Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Jerry Sullivan did a piece a few years ago stating both Roscoe Parrish and Kevin Everett did awful on their wonderlic tests- the title was "Wrong Answers for the Miami Guys."

An 8 yr old in peewee football doesnt do that.
TheChimp Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 He's no smarter than McKelvin, obviously. And their ST coach isn't nearly as smart as we all thought, either.
DCBongo Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 He's no smarter than McKelvin, obviously. And their ST coach isn't nearly as smart as we all thought, either. McKelvin at least produces in the secondary and doesn't complain abouyt play time.
murra Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Look up Roscoe's Wonderlic score. Unfortunately though, Roscoe's intellect level (or lack thereof) is about problem #28 on the priority list. It was #1 today.
Fezmid Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 McKelvin at least produces in the secondary and doesn't complain abouyt play time. McKelvin fumbled -- bad -- but running the ball out wasn't a bad play despite what anyone says.
bills44 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Look up Roscoe's Wonderlic score. Unfortunately though, Roscoe's intellect level (or lack thereof) is about problem #28 on the priority list. true. Schobel going offsides on 3rd down (and negating a Buggs sack) wound up costing 3 points.

Roscoe's score of 10 on the Wonderlic makes him look like a genius compared to another graduate of THE U, RB Frank Gore. Gore scored a wopping 6, yes S-I-X 6!
Fan in Chicago Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 He's already fumbled away two games this year, and he seems to be uncoachable in the sense that I'm sure April has been in his ear repeatedly about not taking unnecessary risks and not running 30 yards backwards. I really think it needs to be asked, is he mentally crippled, and if so, is it the best idea to have him returning kicks and punts? I'm thinking no. I have to wonder what happened to that league leading returner we knew and loved so much. It was very evident after several seasons that he is not cut out to be a WR but his value as a returner was very high. But this year, he is neither returning well nor making any good decisions back there. Make no mistake - he is one of the reasons we lost yesterday but not the sole reason. With the limited success the Browns were having on O, it would not have taken much to win yesterday's game despite Parrish's bone-headed plays. I truly believe his having been on the trading block created a major dis-incentive for him to play well. Not using it as a justification but this seems to be another case where we have to stick to using him as we have slim options. Perhaps April should just tell him to fair catch every ball and just go down immediately.
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 true. Schobel going offsides on 3rd down (and negating a Buggs sack) wound up costing 3 points. It was Buggs himself who was offsides....
Hossage Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Clevelands tackle moved a little and set schobel and buggs off. It wasnt enough to call, apparently. Eight on the wonderlic test is considered literate. I understand roscoe wondered if he should lick it.
Cugalabanza Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 No, Roscoe is not technically mentally disabled. He falls into that category psychologists used to call "Dull Normal." IQ right around 80. Not quite normal intelligence, but not significantly impaired to qualify for government assistance or special consideration. Prognosis: Some possibility for independent living, but will need assistance in some areas, e.g., Doctor appointments, housekeeping, etc... Career options will include grocery cart chasing, NFL punt catching.
need therapy Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Link Any statements that him being on the trade block might be hurting his performance are BS. He's a professional and is getting paid millions of dollars a year to play football. If he can't get his head in the game and maintain focus, then he shouldn't be playing.
