your definition of FAST and MY definition are totally different,like night and day different,Parker seems to ALWAYS have a Guy on Him like Velcro,He will be an EASY cover in the NFL,but you guys are right to be Big Fans of Him,when he is drafted by someone else are you gonna be upset with Baalke? are you gonna say How Baalke Sucks when it comes to drafting WRs? just some real simple questions to ask you Parker Fan-Boys. Ooh one more thing,Parker will have to hit the weight room ,from what I seen on film is that he has trouble with press-coverage, you know getting off the LOS,I thought I run that by you if that is ok with you.
You're just repeating yourself at this point. NYNiner had a good point that this guy torches the NFL caliber corners at Florida State which you ignored because it doesn't fit your narrow argument.
You also failed to address NYNiner's weakest argument suggesting that Parker's YPC show he can get open which isn't really true. Guys who run deep routes a lot and get targeted will have a high YPC whether or not they get open. Parker can track the ball and is dangerous as a jump ball receiver even when covered, so it makes sense that he has a lot of long receptions.
Parker doesn't get a ton of separation, but the only first round WR who does is Amari Cooper. All the other receivers need work on their route running when it comes to leaning and rounding their breaks. You must think that none of these receivers will cut it in the NFL and that they won't develop and learn to create separation.
I'm not a Parker fan, but you do have to give him credit for what he did against Florida St.
At the same time... I could list a number of damn good CB's that turned out to be good in the NFL that Dwayne Jarrett torched in college. So while it means something, it's not a direct correlation.
Saying nobody besides Amari Cooper really gets separation doesn't have a lick of truth to it. There is way too much film of DGB, White and Perriman either have a few steps deep on their man or having to STOP And turn and go up for an underthrown ball after they had their man clearly beat.
I do agree that all 3 guys I mentioned need work on their route running-- the difference between them and Parker is those other guys have very good to elite start/stop ability, balance, and can change direction better.
There is a better chance of White/DGB/Perriman developing into a crisp route runner because they have the physical tools to do so, it's just a matter of being taught and training their feet where to go.
With a player like Parker, you are asking him to do things that he physically doesn't look capable of- sinking his hips low, making sharp, decisive cuts, changing directions quickly without losing speed.
There is a difference between a guy that hasn't been TAUGHT how to do something, and a guy who may be physically incapable of doing something.
like I said I'm not a Parker fan boy or whatever lol, but if he's there at 15 Baalke should think long and hard about grabbing him....jrouter4949 just keeps repeating his self about not creating separation but there is more than speed to help a WR get separation. I think he will have a good career in the NFL as long as he stays healthy and none of these WRs are even close to finished products.
