Comments on: Samie Parker is… "Uno Ocho" http://arrowheadaddict.com/2007/12/04/samie-parker-is-uno-ocho/ A Kansas City Chiefs blog Sat, 20 Mar 2010 03:27:16 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Adam http://arrowheadaddict.com/2007/12/04/samie-parker-is-uno-ocho/comment-page-1/#comment-23203 Adam Fri, 07 Dec 2007 18:49:35 +0000 http://arrowheadaddict.com/2007/12/04/samie-parker-is-uno-ocho/#comment-23203 Marcia, Marcia, Marcia... love your support of the site, but not your support of Uno Ocho. 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.

I didn't sense the sarcasm until the middle. However, I think it is prime time for you to call for Herm's head. He's taking the famed Chiefs nowhere fast....but will you do it?

I didn't sense the sarcasm. Damn. Am I getting too serious? Crap. I sensed the sarcasm in the rest of the post, but I actually thought you thought Sammie is a star and then went on to slam said star because the Chiefs are rotten. Finally, I think you need to call for Herm's firing, if you haven't already. He's taking this team nowhere, if not backwards. But stay clear of Jason Garrett, and I mean it. He's not interested.

It was totally sarcastic and I was calling Samie the exact opposite of a star. I know you Texans are serious folk, but do they not have sarcasm yet down there in Texas?
