Hopefully Parker will have a full recovery but there has to be concern when he makes his living running routes in the NFL and he is coming off his second foot injury in the past year. While he played well once he returned to the field for Louisville last year. He missed the first seven games with a foot injury.

I just hope he doesn't turn into the Dolphins next Yatil Green. A former first round draft pick who had the size and speed to be a difference maker at the WR position, but just never could overcome his injuries once he became an NFL WR.

 

If Parker doesn't make it back by week 1 (I think he will), the nice thing is is that Miami's got a veteran in Greg Jennings who can play all 3 receiver spots and you still have Rishard Matthews as a backup if you don't trade/cut him in advance.

 

Obviously Parker is our #1 pick, but in my mind he is really our 4th wr. Jennings has tons of experience and can play all three positions as Ronin mentioned and he is savvy. This will be Stills 3rd year in the league and while there will be some learning curve on the offense he is a veteran, a pro. Landry's 2nd year in the league and offense and we know he's been working his butt off. Honestly, Parker may be able to do some things that they can't due to his size, but he's not our #1 wr at this stage. And throw Cameron in the mix, who I am personally in love with, and Parker is going to have to earn every ball thrown his way.

 

Excellent point. Gotta remember he's our #4 WR. Let's take our time with him and his development.

 

Well Omar Kelly finally get some things right in his camp coverage projections?

 

Highly doubtful.

I loved Parker coming out and had many debates here this offseason about him, but if I knew he had to go under the knife on the same injury for a three month rehab, things might of been different..

 

Why is that? His surgery was minor and corrected an ill fitting screw. I'll trade 6 games of the regular season (worst case scenario it sounds like) for a potential pro bowl career. Besides, who else could we have taken at 14? Melvin Gordon? I'd rather have Parker and Ajayi and delay Christmas for a little bit.

 

So we spent our first pick on a guy who'll be the 4th or 5th option in the passing game? Yikes.

 

Ah the trademark LBSFINEST ray of sunshine. He's clearly saying short term pain for long term gain.

It's a good idea. Let him heal and then bring him along at his pace. Beckham Jr missed the first 4 games of last season. No stress if Parker does the same .

 

Didnt really want Parker coming out of the draft. A ton of experts were comparing his game to Hakeem Nicks and Hakeem Nicks was never a true #1 WR even before his foot injury that derailed his career to a #3 or 4 WR (which is the same exact injury Parker is dealing with, which terrifies me) I would of taken a cerebral talent like Gordon at that pick but at least Ryan Tannehill has no more excuses, its put up or shutup time. Go Fins!

 

once again you show your lack of ability to see the big picture. way to be consistent.

 

Hickey & Philbin might not be here long term....if Parker is slow to contribute and we don't make the playoffs, you could certainly argue the men on the hot seat should've taken someone who would've made more of an impact right away.
