Switzer!!!

Until Switzer asks to be paid like a RB, a WR, and a return man...

Poor Kordell...…"Slash" deserved way more than the "one trick" SB champion QB we have now!!!.

ARE.....and his scorching 156 passer rating and 81 percent along with his role as receiver and returner.
How dare people say Brown is better.


Dude needed to be paid like Ben and Brown COMBINED

lol...ok that was funny.

great addition! Looks like a Wes Welker out there, imo.

They look about the same size and they're both white. And while I like this Switzer kid's decisiveness to head upfield without hesitation, he seems a lot slower than Welker.

Then I looked up their 40 times and Switzer ran a 4.33 vs Welker's 4.65. That's a big difference in shorts, but Welker seemed a lot quicker in pads and on the field.

I also like Switzer's reliable hands especially on a rainy day like yesterday. I think we found a gem. But he seems like another Steeler guy that plays slower than his timed speed. We've had a number of guys over the years that seemed to play faster than their timed speed like Troy, Hines, AB, etc., but a lot of our recent guys seem to play slower for whatever reason.

I think a lot of his hesitation is being brand new to the team and unfamiliar with his new teammates...

It also goes without saying...
The field conditions affect top end speed, balance, cutting ability.. etc. He probably was running a 4.66 yesterday.

Yeah, the combine 40 isn't exactly run in near swamp-like conditions.

I would bet $$$$ Switzer takes one to the house before mid season.
This kid has some field vision.

I'd like to see the Steelers use this kid as a WR as well. He's not been given a chance in the NFL (Dallas acquired Tavon Austin and drafted a few WRs and who knows what Chukky & Oakland were thinking). In college he was a beast at WR. He was 1st team All-ACC at WR his senior year and holds the UNC career records for receptions and receiving yards.

This kid can ball:

I'm with you. I'd like to see what he can do as a #3 WR out of the slot. But the thing he has working against him is you want to be able to use AB and JuJu in the slot, so offensively I think we're more dynamic if our #3 WR can play on the outside and Switzer makes AB look like Megatron by comparison. I really think Switzer could have trouble against the press on the outside.
