Probably not. The plan was to bring him up the last half if at all this year. But then he's literally been unhittable in camp. The 5 man rotation is set as of right now. But he got sent to the minor league camps the other day and 5 IP, 0 H, 1 BB, 8 SO was the result. I say they just can't keep him out for long. I say May.

If there's any sport where preseason results aren't any real indicator of how good a team is going to be during the reg season...baseball takes the cake. Especially this year with pros competing in the WBC.

:lol: Wasn't the Detroit Lions 4-0 in the pre season last year? :willy_nilly:

I don't know....if you say so. I still say baseball spring training is about the weakest indicator of who's going to be good.

BTW, The Cardinals were 2-2 and the Steelers, 3-1 (their lone loss being to the mighty Buffalo Bills).

      Other NFL Games Week 7

      If you look at almost all Daniels stats, they are as good or better than last year minus perhaps Completion Percentage. I don't think Daniels himself is having very much less individual success than the Redskins are reverting to the mean.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts#wsh Barnwell wrote about them in the preseason as a team that had an inordinate amount of luck or success in one score games that wasn't very likely to be repeated.

      We thinking of the same Mike White? He probably won’t even make it off the practice squad.

      I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.
