How bad is Kawaan Baker? (3 Viewers)

Hard to imagine he's some hidden gem that's just been buried on our depth chart due to all the top-end talent we have at the position.

This! If I see white activated over him
I’ll be sick. At this point why not? What are we saving him for? Preseason next year? He’s a WR, not QB. What development are you hurting?

There are a few very important things necessary to be a successful wide receiver. First, a QB who can deliver the ball, second a receiver who can catch the ball, and third....a receiver who can get open. With Kevin White, we have #3 covered, besides that, good luck.

IIRC, Lance Moore spent like 3 years on the practice squad before becoming Saints favorite Lance Moore of Super Bowl 2pt conversion fame. Sometimes it takes patience. It's not unusual for Saints WR to basically redshirt. Colston and Michael Thomas were definitely different, but others have taken time from Meachem to Henderson.

Sand lot him. QB tells him which side to line up on and when he hears hut just haul arse straight up the field.

Some people forget that Colston almost didn't make it out of mini-camp. It was after a horrible mini-camp that he came to training camp a new man and became the player we remember.

Might just not be ready for a variety of reasons: needs to get stronger (NFL nutrition and workout regiments are superior to college), doesn’t know the playbook (limited reps at TC and now working on the PS), just needs technique work and development (few rookie WRs are any good - Year 1 to 2 is always a big jump).
