One thing that bothers me about him is that I hear reports that he is kind of mentally weak. He gets discouraged and fed up easily when things don't go his way. If he gets discouraged every time he gets burned he won't last long.
At some point he is going to need to step up. If Lewis goes down for any length of time there will be a huge drop off. |

But in the two games he's played he's had pretty decent coverage and just wait until we start pressing with him |

Please make sure you're not eating or drinking before reading the next sentence. I would've rather seen us pick one of the two high potential place kickers available this year than a project. Don't say I didn't warn you... |

Frustration happens, even Drew shows moments of it from time to time. The difference is what happens right after; if he gets up and goes at it again its not a big deal. If he Cam Newtons off to the side line and hangs his boudin for the world to see like a person that has quit on his team, then I see that as a problem. |

At any rate, I just hope Baptiste doesn't turn out like Cutler where we are hoping that in year 9 things will click and he realizes his potential.
