another AA/AS original.
I see no problem with keeping Baker if he is performing well enough to earn a roster spot...
I agree that McDonald is a veteran possession receiver...but, the Steelers already have a veteran possession receiver named Hines Ward...
Nate Washington earned a spot on the roster based upon what he did in practice and in the preseason...after one catch and one INT breakup in the 2005 playoffs, Nate started two games in place of Hines Ward in his second year...Bruce Arians was the WR coach then...
So, if Ward and Holmes are the starters and one of them gets injured, it isn't as though the Steelers haven't trusted supposedly untested WRs in the recent past...
If Baker knows the offense better than McDonald (and he should by now) and Baker performs better than McDonald in practice and in the preseason, I would hope that Baker would earn the roster spot over McDonald if it comes down to those two competing for one position...
But that's just me...
Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.
I was trying to think of another kid who was like this. He was a good TC one year and I think was poised to step up the next but got injured prior to the season beginning - never to be heard from again.Originally Posted by phillyesq
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think his name was something like Zamir Cobb??

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...
Jahine Arnold was kinda like that as well.Originally Posted by steeler_fan_in_t.o.
If Roquan Smith falls to late teens, trade 1.28 & 2.60 to SEA for 1.18 & 4.120:
1.18 LB Roquan Smith
3.92 FS Jessie Bates
4.120 RB Royce Freeman
5.148 DT Ken Norton
5.165 TE Chris Herndon
7.220 WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling
7.246 OT Brett Toth
If not:
1.28 LB Leighton Vander Esch
2.60 C/G Billy Price
3.92 FS Jessie Bates
5.148 DT Ken Norton
5.165 TE Chris Herndon
7.220 RB Ito Smith
7.246 WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling
I just don't see how Baker isn't the odd man out when you have Ward, Holmes, Sweed, Wallace and McDonald. Maybe Baker beats out McDonald but I don't see it happening.
Baker has the big drawback that Nate W. had and that is being a WR who doesn't fit on special teams. That is why I think Wallace gets the benfit of the doubt and the tiebreaker because he may be able to return kicks as one of the two guys back there with Burnett.
