And I refuse to judge Baldwin until we get a legit QB throwing him the ball. Plus, it will help to have a coaching staff with a clue to develop him.

You apparently missed the part about a legit QB throwing him the ball.

Again what legit QB did Bowe have throwing to him? None! Your argument is so false

However - look at the shit that Scooter left on this roster. What's the harm in giving him a year under a competent staff with a decent QB throwing him the ball? Why are we so eager to cut him? He's not that expensive being a late first rounder. He shouldn't be getting displaced by Dexter McCluster or any of the parade of undersized non-prospects we've filled this roster with. Committing to him as a guy that's going to be an elite #2 is a bad idea, yes. However, having seen flashes of what he's capable of and now having a staff in place that will play to a players strengths and not religiously adhere to a scheme, why not give him a season and see if we can salvage something from the pick? I think we can safely conclude that he's not going to be a star in this league. I also think it's too early to conclude he can't be anything in this league. A lot of WRs take a few seasons to develop; the superstars don't, but some pretty good ones do. Lets give the kid a year to see if he's taking the Vincent Jackson approach to being a decent player. We don't really have anything to lose.

happens all the time. Giving a free pass to a guy that clearly doesnt have NFL "it" factor and treating him like hes a 6th round prospect is not the way to go. He will eventually hurt the team more than he helps it once the new FO drafts or signs players at his position to compete and eventually beat him out... you are really going to enjoy our first round WR becoming 5th or 6th on the depth chart? and people really need to start comparing him to Vincent Jackson, he will never be half the player Vincent Jackson is. |

Don't demote him, make other guys do it. No, Dexter McCluster hasn't earned being ahead of Baldwin on the depth chart, nor has Wylie. You don't hate them as much because they weren't first round picks, but they've been awful as well. Breaston belongs ahead of Baldwin, to be sure. I still think he's ideally suited to be a slot receiver, but if we're going on merit only, Breaston should be the #2. Baldwin has as clean a claim to the #3 WR role as anyone on the roster and yeah, we should give him a crack at it. If he can't do it, he's gone. WRs are likely to be all they're going to be by their 3rd season; if he's still awful, then you hope you can replace him and you move along. And for the record, your list kinda makes my point. Gholston got 3 seasons. Andre Smith got 3 seasons. Maybin didn't, but man what a weird case he was (the incredible shrinking man) and Curry was traded in his 3rd season after he was clearly displaced by a player that was outperforming him. 3 seasons is not too much to ask, especially for a guy that, for everything he isn't, does show some ability go go up and get the ball and could be a decent deep threat.

Baldwins a joke! Bowe didn't have a good coaching staff to coach him up in 07 yet he's a stud WR and developed
