How about one more Sweed tryout?

If they pay him then obviously he is good enough to be on the team. So no harm.[/quote:1ifcfx40]
Guess you'll want to retract your statement that nobody is saying make him #1 receiver?

 

I wouldn't pee in his mouth if his throat were on fire
Translates to I wouldn't touch him

 

that sounds more like a description of nate washington. i don't remember sweed catching anything. i do remember some huge drops though.

 

the move has tons of upside because limas sweed is a 'zero.'

it had tons of upside the first, second, third, and fourth time as well. yeah, there IS downside. it's keeping a later-round draft find like emmanuel sanders out of camp.

people have the audacity to complain about duce staley in a sweatsuit? at least staley was even remotely effective for a new york second. all limas sweed did was suck, drop passes, and get hurt while taking up a roster spot and hundreds of thousands of dollars. still, this guy SOMEHOW has some sort of weird cult following.

confusing.

 

It was preseason but i remember him make a couple of circus catches then it was like to plays later and wide open and he dropped it. What is so frustrating is he has the hardest part down he fets open. I really think if he stayed healthy last year he would have made the team. Now im kinda bias becuase i was screaming for him predraft and was really happy we got him. I just dont see any harm in bringing him and say show us what you got.

 

Since when is a 3rd round pick a later round....who by the way also has been injured in 2 of his 2 seasons.


HACK

 

Well the first time he went on ir was for lyme disease so you cant really blame him gor that one.

 

Man after all this time Hack is still in love with Sweed....there is a reason he is not on an NFL roster.

 

For the record...I did not even want to draft him.....but once he was there...BA did not give him a fair shake IMO

HACK

 

all one can do is laugh about the lovefest for . . . LIMAS SWEED!

it's really unexplainable.

the dude has been a 'Bust' (with a capital 'B') yet any time anyone ever starts a thread about him, it's sure to run several pages deep and turn into a lovefest for the guy.

 

I thought duece played for the eagles and was tired of splitting time with westbrook

Why would I want to retract it? Shaner said he has the talent to be a #1, not bring him to camp and make him a #1 straight away. I still haven't read one good reason not to take another look at him in camp. As I stated earlier in this thread, I'm not holding my breath but it's definitely worth taking another look, he was doing very well last ST up until he got hurt. I don't know why you are so set against it, he's not being given any of our current WR's job. He'll have to earn it.[/quote:24av2u4c]
Guy had four years to show the Steelers what he had and didn't. Sure bring him in so when we cut him again people can complain that Haley didn't give him a fair shake. By the way where is he now?

 

JAMES HARRISON WAS CUT 4 TIMES tomlin gave him a shot in look what happened

 

Please people he was a baby when he was here, no production no nothing
Steelers wasted enough time on this LOSER.

 

Actually Cower gave him a shot. I guarantee that Sweed as a second round draft pick was givin more of an opportunity to succeed than Harrison an undrafted free agent was.

I have no idea, I really didn't know he was still on the team but after thinking about it, he was put on IR, can't cut a guy on IR right? And if they bring him in and cut him, I'll forget about him quicker then a Mike Wallace TD. I just know the guy has a gift for getting separation and 3 of those 4 years he didn't even play.[/quote:38v142q7]
As far as I know he was cut in camp or shotly there after in 2011. I have missed maybe four Steelers games in the last 25 years and I don't remember seeing Sweed play much at least not enough to see him get this great seperation that I keep hearing you talk about.

 

No we still had porter tomlin got rid of him drafted timmons to replacethe but out harrison in as the starter and never looked back. Cowher cut harrison three times his first 16 starts came in 07

 

You need to get your facts straight. Harrison was cut three times by the Steelers between 2002-2003 He was cut by the Ravens and signed with the steelers in Training camp of 2004 and has remained on the team since. Cower gave him the shot, now he became a full time starter under Tomlin, but he did start 4 regular seasom games under Cower. How many games did Sweed start under any Steeler coach?

 

Yes and how iften did he se the field under cowher. He started 4 total games under cowher he didnt become a starter until tomlin took over

 

So how did Cower not give him a shot then?

 

We could have had porter and harrison but instead it was porter and haggans nothing against haggans but harrison is a lot better then him so dont give me that cowher gave him a chance.

 

Sweed 7 career receptions for 69 yards. Yeah lets find out where he's at and resign him. While were at it maybe we can get Huey Richardson back. Oh and maybe we can get Jamain Stephens too. Can't bring every player back just because the were supposed to be good. We have to trust that the coaches know what they are doing.
