Agreed. I think he has a ton of potential, he just needs to stay healthy. I'd put him in BG's top 3 for wide out every game.

This guy knows what he's talking about.

parks is now backing up partridge neway at their position so if partridge stays healthy dont know how much playing time he'll get anyway.

Did you just go "neway" and "anyway" in the same sentence??

As for Parks, look for him to have a big game on 8/30 in front of his family and friends.

Add Kenny Lewis & Shane Steffy to that list. KL is from Penn Hills HS and SS is from Oakmont & Riverview HS. Nate Waldron is from nearby Rochester. Heck, I expect a big group of Angelo Magnone's family to be there...he's outta Steubenville...less than 40 miles from Pittsburgh.

I will pay you a billion dollars if AT gets NFL interest as a receiver. I think he'll have a really great year doing all kinds of different things for our team, but he's not going to the NFL. A lot of people around here constantly over-estimate our skill players' NFL chances.

No doubt. It's good to be optimistic, but there is no way. I will pay 2 billion dollars if AT makes at as a true WR in the NFL. I also don't think all of these WR's are right on the verge of having this enormous break-out seasons like people are saying. I realize I'm guilty for mentioning Kelley in this thread, but he probably won't get enough playing time/touches to actually have a breakout season. I was just saying from my assessment of watching him he should be the #3 because he played better than Parks IMO. He also might be better than Freddie as a true WR, although Freddie is defn an amazing athlete and very good when the game is on the line (a ball player as I call him). Also Freddie was a QB not too long ago so he's still transitioning a bit into being a true WR, so hopefully he will continue to improve a lot again this season!

I know I'd be getting the name and phone number of every NFL scout, GM anbd janitor and calling them to say "Hey, any interest in that Turner kid as a wideout?" It would only take one "Yes"- for maybe $100,000 you could convince one of them to have an interest and still come out $999,900,000 ahead.
