Re: The Rise: The Official Stedman Bailey Junior Highlights
The things that separate Bailey from everyone else are his hands (which are as good as Pettis') and his impressive route running. He truly does know how to run routes, and he does a lot of the little things right, which is especially impressive for a young player. The fact that he's reaching out to one of the best route-runners of our time in Torry Holt speaks volumes as well.
I don't expect him to wrest the starting job from Quick, who has more experience in this offense. There's going to be a learning period for both Bailey and Austin, and there's going to be some mistakes made, as there is with almost all rookies and young players. But I suspect that there will be just as many exciting and explosive plays to watch on this offense, on this team, and I fully expect that there will be contributions from both (or more, depending on if Helmick, Blake, or Akins can get a job on this team) of our rookie receivers when it's all said and done.
