Justin hunter

[JIMBO]

Drafted # 2 several years ago.
Finished first year on IR
Finished second year on IR
Cut out of camp in his third year
Signed by Miami and released
Finished the year in Buffalo where he did nothing
Sounds a lot like the other Justin we released- good athlete, but definitely not a Steeler
Is this Colbert's idea of improving the team or just wanting to make a "splash" signing ????

He has the traits to be a player, but has not been able to put it together. By no means is he guaranteed a spot on the roster. He'll be competing with the likes of Coates, DHB, and Hamilton in Latrobe. I doubt that much becomes of him, but it's worth the risk if someone with that amount of athletic ability at that size is finally able to put 2 and 2 together. If the light goes on for him...awesome. If not...no big deal, we move on. I'll take a minimal risk on a talented specimen and see what happens.

but Colbert will look you square in the eye and tell you he's trying to compete with the Patriots.

I love it. These are the types of signing that are low risk, high reward. 6'-4" with speed? Why not.

also have to remember who who was throwing the ball to him before he was hurt. If he doesn't have it, oh well... but if he does? Whew, this could be a nasty WR corps.

I love how people act like signings such as this are meant to upgrade starting positions.
When will people realize that a 1 yr signing at a low salary is nothing but filling the 75 man roster.
Then hoping the player provides camp competition at least...or better yet can excel at some position on the field and provide depth.
If not, the player gets cut and the team moves on.

Better then some fans who bury their head in the sand and deny the constant @ss whippings they take. But I get it; a rape victim who gets constantly raped becomes numb to the whole thing. Patriot rape has you numb.

I wanted this guy the year he was drafted. He has the talent..just needs to fit. I like the signing.

Jesus Christ...there have been some insensitive things posted on this site, but this is downright disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself. Seriously.
