Plus he can't be any worse then Brandon Marshall when it comes to character

I agree, and I'm not that familiar w/Baldwin but it sounded like he would be an issue for coaches in that all too familiar diva wr way. Marshall is an interesting case, maybe Shan. didn't know much about him coming out of his small school in the 4th round. I don't think he would've tolerated Marshall's antics if both were still in Denver.

When D. thomas was cut, the wash pst. reported that Shanahan didn't like his bravado & bad practice habits. They said he preferred players that were quiet & don't draw attention to themselves. With that in mind & from what we've seen of Shan. so far, I don't see him taking a liking to Baldwin.

In short, "character" issues w/wide recivers so often manifest in football, many of them are me first & disruptive. From what I read seems Baldwin could become that guy.
