Former Chiefs WR Samie Parker Sounds Bitter About His Playing Time in KC

One of these days, maybe, professional athletes will realize that their tweets go out to the whole world.
Today's example of creating a bad impression on Twitter comes from former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Samie Parker.
As I'm sure you all recall, Parker was a fourth round pick by the Chiefs in '04. Despite great speed and athleticism, Parker never broke out as much as I'm sure he'd have liked to. To be fair, his seasons of 9, 36, 41 and 24 receptions is pretty much the right amount of production for a third, fourth type receiver.
Well apparently, Parker thinks those numbers should have been a lot higher. Here's what Parker tweeted out this morning:
#whatwoulditbelike The Chiefs wouldve thrown tha ball to @samieparker as much as they Tony G he would b n tha probowl err year to
This is just hilarious to me. The guy is still complaining about his playing time in Kansas City, three years after the Chiefs let him go. Gotta love referencing yourself in the third person on Twitter too. Just hilarious.
Yeah, Samie. Just throwing the ball a lot to someone makes them good. I'm sure that's the only reason Tony Gonzalez will go down as the greatest tight end of all time. The Chiefs just threw him the ball a lot. I guess Parker thinks that NFL teams just choose one player to give the ball too, regardless of talent.
Sheesh. People say dumb stuff on Twitter.

Funny...
…I’m pretty bitter about his playing time in KC, as well.
My long, drawn-out predictions that no one cares about, nor will bother to remember:
1. Todd Haley will still be the Chiefs Head Coach up to the 2011 season.
2. Clancy Pendergast won't make it to the 2010 season and was never intended to. Last-minute hire for a position that needed to be filled.
3. Todd Haley will not be the OC at the start of the 2010 season.

Yeah Sammy
Give us back the 4th that was wasted on you and we can call it even.
Left Tackle is Brandon Albert's natural position.
heh same...I am frustrated with samie, he was rude to me one time, and he was a terrible WR.
to bash on us now…well…we all know samie’s true colors(I guess that would be green and gold)
I am on TEAM O'CALLAGHAN-RT
KC Will Trade Derrick Johnson
I'm reading Parker's most recent tweets now
Sounds like he a took a cab to and from the grocery store and is thinking about writing his name on the food in his fridge. Apparently he has roommates. Wow….

Yeah Sammie
Us and the other 31 NFL teams really screwed up by not throwing to you all the time and getting you into the Pro Bowl every year. It was pretty clear by the end of his tenure that he had been given enough time to display his skill. He was released by us, then released again, and again.
Now he play arena league (and good for him), but seriously, at some point in life you have to claim your actions and results for yourself. We all do. That’s life.
And of all people to complain about, Tony G? I mean, yeah he was the one getting the ball all the time, but that was also because he was catching it. How are you going to try to throw the greatest TE ever under the bus?
WOW.

The guy ran the wrong routes,
And from what I remember, he dropped alot of passes. What good is speed if your not focused on catching the ball.
Holy F'ing Jesus
He was the king of taking his eye off the ball and starting to run. He was so afraid of getting hit. Yeah he dropped a lot of balls.
Parker Had Two Moves That I Remember
1) Drop a catchable pass and 2) snag a pass and immediately fall down just short of the first down marker.

Of Course
Part of the reason he may have been so bitter about his perceived lack of opportunity was that he was teammates with Jeff Webb. Webb made Parker look like an All-Pro…so I can see how a less astute athlete might take that to mean his skill set is really good when in fact his skill set was nothing special and only looks good in comparison to a really terrible receiving corps.

His third move
Was arrogantly signaling first down on the handful of times he actually got one.

We threw to him to damn much as it is...
He sucked. Who gives a flying f____ in a rolling donut what he thinks anyway.
"U can't change my WILL".
He could never catch the ball
I have seen it on TV and at Arrowhead, this guy could never be relied on to make the tough catches. He never ever got the ball on third down, i mean trent green didn’t trust him enough for that.
If he couldn’t cut it in the NFL I mean he needs to go back and look on tape what he has done wrong
funny thing is i watched his arena leauge
Game and the announcer was hyping him cuz he played for the chiefs. As soon as the guy was finished the qb threw a pass to sammy on a blown coverage play all alone in the endzone right in his hands in stride and he dropped it. And I screeeamed that’s the sammy I know. Even the announcer was like wow that’s y he’s not in kansas city he is inconsistant.

Samie got cut from...
KC, DEN, CAR, SEA, and in a two year span. Yes, he was indeed the next Tony Gonzalez.
The worst part about sammie parker was
that stupid grin on his face every time he dropped a pass.
Ah.
Good Ol’ Sammy "Droppin’ and Smilin’ " Parker. The guy was a joke the entire time he was in the league. Funny how he complains three years after he gets cut. Eh, he reminds me a lot of Larry Johnson without the skills. (at least LJ could run at one point) What a rube.
