Pike’s role shrinks, not optimism

[scpanther22]

I would hate to lose him if he is cut

There’s no guarantee he’ll even play Saturday night against the New York Jets, after getting one series and a quick hook in the opener against Baltimore. Even his practice repetitions are extremely limited, but Pike was upbeat about the few chances he does have.

Wrote about Pike in this morning's paper(s). There was a time when they were thinking about keeping 4 QBs. That time has passed.

That would be retarded. The guy has huge potential and I imagine some sort of value. We have a need at WR... I prefer to keep him as the 3rd and let Cantwell go or try to put him back on the PS. Pike will not make it to the PS, if we're gonna let him go we need to get something back for him.

Here's an idea though... Could we have been giving Cantwell the bulk of the garbage time last week b/c they're deciding whether they should cut him instead of Pike? Kind of like, 'is he really what we think he is?' If not, let him go.

Cantwell's upside is greater than Pikes. Pike has a little girl arm.

Yep, without question. I freakin' hated that pick.

Oh, but wait a few years. Our staff is awesome at developing quarterbacks, and as soon as we do we'll be able to trade him for a first-rounder.

Value picks are fine and dandy, as long as they can provide value for your team.

Cantwell knows the whole playbook therefore Cantwell wins. Pike was the dumbest pick in the draft.

I thought that was a BS move, and Pike should have gotten more PT time against the Ravens. He throw a nice ball, and the WR flat out dropped it. After 1 series, Hunter Cant-do-well comes back in. Give Pike a freakin chance, he's pretty darn accurate.

Everyone is going to be shocked when we sneak him on the PS. We are limiting him for that very reason. No team in there right mind would grab him if there is no tape on him and the only time he played he got yanked.

[thunderraiden]

lololololololol, its a sixth round pick that made cantwell at least a lil better i think.. regardless its a 6th round pick where we currently look to have snatched the steal of the draft in hardy, so what if it was also had a 2nd shitty pick in the 6th as well.

worst pick ever good job hurney this was fuging genius.

Its possible we could.But do you think he we be there all year without some team signing him??

A team would grap him based on the potential he has down the road.he has to better than Jordan Palmer with the bengals.lol

[thunderraiden]

worst pick ever good job hurney this was f**king genius.

Surefire Gems or super steal:

Kalil, Beason, Stewart, Williams, Hardy, Otah, Gamble, Peppers, Witherspoon (letting him go was indeed stupid), Gross , Wharton, Geoff Hangartner, Jeff King, Bernadeau(7th rounder starting), & Clausen (super super bargin price and steal)

3rd round or higher surefire bust (cause anything lower than 3 is unhopeful anyways):

Shelton, Keary Colbert, & Evan Mathis

Now go eat a **** sandwich or something.

you can spew all of your stats you want but you can't deny tony pike was a waste of a draft pick. i have thought about the pick for a while now and I still have zero grasp on why he chose him, it makes no sense.
