Willie Parker quick on his feet handling the media, too

Re: Willie Parker quick on his feet handling the media, too

18 rec, 31 rec, 23 rec, and then 3 rec? we stopped running screens due to the OL's lack of setting it up properly and let FWP's favorite FB go...

Hmmm...i don't think so. Moore caught around 35-40 passes last year in limited playing time. Willie parker can't catch the ball.


throw out the Ravens games because no one runs on the Ravens..
Is it fair to say throw away Willie's long runs and then check his YPA?
Try watching Giants vs Ravens game to see a really good rushing game

I agree that Moore is better than Parker catching passes out of the backfield. That should be clear to anyone who watches these games. But how can you bluntly state that "Willie parker can't catch the ball" when the evidence is right there in front of you that he had 72 catches from 05-07 prior to being limited to 3 catches last season? Did he suddenly forget how to catch the ball last year?

I can't debate with someone who jumps around the evidence HE posted. FWP averaged 25 receptions a year until last year.. most were screens.. but we stop running that play due to the OL last year..

Moore has better hands but also remember Ben improve dramatically at checking down last year..

I was being preemptive since people like to use the Ravens as a reason why FWP sucks.. but if we had Mend last year maybe we could have run on the Ravens.. then again they know us and Bettis couldn't run on them either..

Why keep harping that Willie sucks? He's averaged over 1000 yards a season with a sub par offensive line, he averaged 25 catches a year prior to last year, he plays in a division with one excellent (Rats) and one pretty good (Cinci) defense, when healthy he has "you aint gonna catch him" speed and has contributed nicely to two Super Bowl rings.

Is he Adrian Peterson? No. Is he Jerome Bettis? No. Will someone pay him a T-O-N of money next year? Yeah probably. And I hope he gets every cent of it. He seems like a good guy, he seems like a good locker room guy, he plays hard.

Say he sucks, that's fine. But the fact of the matter is, he doesn't. Sorry.

Re: Willie Parker quick on his feet handling the media, too

man this debate is absurd. to say that willie parker SUCKS is moronic. a couple years ago he did have the most attempts and the most yards before he got hurt but he still got the yards did he not? his first year starting i think he averaged around 4 yards or more a carry and went to the pro bowl, thats a guy that SUCKS? parker is no hall of famer and i wouldnt say he is a top 5 rb in the nfl and i alsoi think he still has a little to prove if he wants a big contract. but to say the guy SUCKS is really stupid.
