The only reason to keep Banks is because of his punt return skills. If he makes the team and we're told that "he showed enough as a WR" to make the team, I'll be calling b.s. - but very softly. Despite what MS said (and may have even meant at the time), didn't we all know that Banks would ultimately sink or swim by how well he returned punts in preseason? As it turned out, he did very well as a PR in preseason.
The truth is I'd be fine with the decision to keep him as a PR because good field position or an easy 6 points is swell. I believe he would have more impact than a fifth or sixth WR. Plus, the Skins could always use Niles Paul as a WR, as needed.
