It's cool about your tone. I have the same issue.

Good arguments. Not sure what is right and what is wrong, but I like discussing things.

So...uhhhh....anyone?

Jon Baldwin clears waivers

Posted by Mike Wilkening on August 7, 2014, 6:33 PM EDT

This time, Jon Baldwin cleared waivers.

According to the NFL’s transactions, no club claimed the 2011 first-round pick on Thursday, leaving the 24-year-old wide receiver an unrestricted free agent.

Baldwin was claimed by the Lions on Monday, one day after being waived by the 49ers. However, he failed his physical with Detroit, voiding his prospective employment with the club. According to the San Jose Mercury News, Baldwin appeared to be dealing with left knee pain early in Niners training camp.

If Baldwin is hurt, he now has time to heal. And now, he has the ability to sign with any other club. But any interested club will want to find out for itself whether he’s healthy enough to play. In addition to a physical, he might be subject to a pre-signing workout.

Given his youth and lofty draft standing just three seasons ago, Baldwin could very well find another NFL suitor. Still, no teams were willing to take a chance Thursday, which speaks to the burden now placed upon the former Pitt star. Now, he needs to show he’s healthy, and now, he must convince another club he can be developed.

I was a coach similar to Pettine in the fact of having the ability to challenge guys while not losing them. If I know Pettine, a guy like Holmes would be a personal challenge to straighten out. And if he can't do it during camp, then you cut him.

What's to lose?


I'm sorry if my tone is unsettling. My voice in papers have always been over-the-top and argumentative, even when I don't mean to be. I blame it on the English Education in this country that wants you to make strong statements. I'm really not this way.

I think there's plenty of stuff to lose in signing Santonio. I'll just list a few.

  • Bad Influence - Historically he's been a bad influence.
  • Attention - Coaches may have to take more time in explaining things to him or other WR's because he has a history of goofing off IIRC.
  • Time - He could be robbing the coaches of their time to develop other players if it doesn't work out. He could also be robbing players of their time to be developed if it doesn't work out.




All in all, if he signs here, Bad Influence - Historically he's been a bad influence.
Attention - Coaches may have to take more time in explaining things to him or other WR's because he has a history of goofing off IIRC.
Time - He could be robbing the coaches of their time to develop other players if it doesn't work out. He could also be robbing players of their time to be developed if it doesn't work out.that's great. Pettine has worked with him before and he feels like he can get a handle on him. I just remain doubtful that Pettine would sign him.


CHS, sounds like you could be describing Gordon or Manziel here too.

If we can get JG straightened out and add a good wr we would really have something. That might be a big IF !!!
