D-Bo has already crushed the four-year vet's best season with four games left to play in his rookie season. There's no comparison there. As far as opportunities go, Samie has started for the majority of the past four years, at least as the slot guy. He's had his chance and then some. <br /><br />I also think if the light ever does go on, it will be with some pass-happy team like Detroit or Arizona.

A slot receiver who can't catch a quick slant is about as useful as an asshole on my elbow. Az-Hakim wasn't as fast as Samie is, but he had great, GREAT hands. He was like a much more athletic Chris Horn. No chance Samie is ever as good as Az. I've had four years to make that assessment. Can't agree with you here, Jon.

I really don't. Nevermind that Kennison has dropped passes in far more crucial situations (playoffs anyone?) Nevermind that Jeff Webb has been far more of a a klutz trying to catch a ball. I actually like Samie Parker and feel that he has been miscast his entire career. He is not a #2 receiver, but I think he can be better than Az-hakim as a slot receiver. He would be great against looser coverages and if the offensive line and playcalling would actually give him opportunities to go deep. It seems like the only routes he ever runs are possession routes. So let's cut the guy a break. He's never going to be a 1,000 yard receiver, but it's not farfetched at all to believe he'll be a 500-yard slot receiver, and that's excellent.
