Hell, I've watched all the Chiefs Wr's get open, alot.
Defenses play a 15 yard box against us. Sickening.

We're on the same page w/ Baldwin. As a STH that was high on the pick, I've spent plenty of time watching the guy.
Baldwin can get open. He gets jammed on occasion, but he's certainly not a liability against the press. He's fast, he's athletic and he has great body control.
He's probably not going to be a #1, but he's much much better than this. I keep going back to Vincent Jackson and I'm going to
keep going back to Vincent Jackson until Baldwin has a chance to play with a QB that will bother looking to his side of the field and under a DC that will try to utilize his strengths.
He reminds me so much of V-Jax that it's not even funny. He's a bit of a long-strider that runs mediocre routes and can occasionally lose his hands. But he's an acrobat in the air with an outstanding size/speed combination. He and Jackson are so alike in so many ways that it's just hard to ignore it. And Jackson took quite some time to finally get it together.
I just cannot bring myself to give up on the kid, not until he has a legitimate chance to succeed.
