    Limas Sweed

    Do you still hope that Sweed will become a good player?

    It's here to talk about Sweed!

    I don't give up easily. I still think Sweed could be a very good WR for us. Just not this year.

    I hate to say it, but I think he's done. He could still be an excellent player, but he hasn't shown anything at all up to this point. I'm really pulling for him, but I really don't expect him to be on the roster come next season. It's really a shame.

    I have to agree with you and it kills me to say it because of the expectations he had, but I sure hope he has the chance to prove us wrong.

    How many more chances does he deserve with the Steelers. I mean with the depth at WR this team has as of now I feel he is just unneeded and has failed enough to prove he is not worthy for the Steelers.

    I hope he still salvages his career ... but I hate to say it, the odds of that don't look too good.

    I hope he gets a chance, but I'm not too sure. With the drafting of two WRs, that gives us three young guys and Sweed may just not make the cut.

    I guess you could say the same for Silverback. Remember, Harrison was so green early on in his career that he would simply “give up” on plays he was struggling on and would even ask the coaches not to play him when he was struggling

    This year is not his fault. The only thing that keeps me on his side is the hit he put on Ivey in the 2008 AFCCG. The kid has heart and maybe his mental lapse problem is over. It might not matter what we think anyway. If Wallace and the rookie receivers step up in a big way he may not find his way back to our roster period. Let alone be a starter. ( just my thoughts)

    Here is the hit I'm talking about. I was there with my brother. That was a great hit. Now all he has to do is hang onto the ball!

    He hasn't had that many thrown his way. I'd love to see them give him another shot next year. It's only camp anyway. Can't hurt to see if he'll make it. There's always cuts if he doesn't.

    Sweed might salvage his career if he switches to CB. He now has durability issues to go along with the psychological drama and lack of concentration.

    I just think that the Steelers brought in a WR in the draft and Brown is looking good in OTA's which makes the depth chart even deeper regardless who makes it, but the one player who has not stepped up or made plays when he should have is Sweed and when you play for the Steeler's you don't get 6+ chances to prove yourself. Im sure he could impress another team at some point, but not the Steelers.

    If Sweed does make it big in the Nfl the drop in the ravens game will stick with him for the rest of his career.

    The big drops in big games kill him the most and these are just example surely the one against the Ratbird's sticks out the most. That game would have been put away and he would be a hero.

    I'm not sure, sadly his career has become one that can be summed up in one word......."potential"

    I think he has the ability, we will see i suppose
