My concern with him is that he'll be a rookie. Veteran quarterbacks like Ben, Brady, Manning, Brees, Rogers, Rivers, etc eat young safeties for lunch. I hope he's a fast learner.

I agree 100%, it's not like the Steelers are jettisoning veterans right and left, Harrison and now Starks and probably Hampton. The Steelers are still going to be old in general. If for no other...

Clemente is my favorite Pittsburgh athlete of all time as well; going to Pirate games was a special treat to watch him play and it was even more fun to get to the park early and watch him warm up. ...

This is news to you? :shock:

The difference is that any other quarterback probably can't go out on the field and actually shut him up by kicking his a$$ by making plays (Rogers maybe, Brees maybe, that's about it). Ryan Clark...

Grew up about 15 miles east of the city out the Parkway, so I've been a fan from day one by birthright for anything related to Pittsburgh sports, Pirates, Penguins and Steelers. My earliest...

That isn't even enough weight to be a quarterback in today's game. :p

Pappy

Not to mention that Ben and him are good friends and Ben trusts him, that's big right there.

Pappy

He's Ben's friend.

My fear is that if he is a 3 down back and he's catching 2-3 passes per game plus the 19 touches in the ground game and the 10 blitz pickups to keep Ben clean and you're talking 21-22 touches per...

19 carries a game, I guess they're going to run him until the wheels fall off, oh wait, we did that once already...:HeadBanger:-?

Throw the tape in and watch the past two years of play and that should give you a pretty good idea of what the Steelers will be getting with this kid. Based on the conference and production he...

As long as Jones has functional football strength I don't really care how much he weighs.

Pappy

I thought Wing (already signed) and the kid from UCLA were those types of punters based on news and heresay. It just gets so frustrating to watch a stinkin punt net next to nothing and put the...

1. Jarvis Jones- J-squared or Double J

2. LeVeon Bell- Liberty

3. Marcus Wheaton - Rattler (He's from Arizona and he'll sting ya)

4. Shamarko Thomas - Lights out (big hitter)

4b. Landry...

Would love to see him displace Gay as the nickle back by the end of the year, not because I don't like Willie Gay, but because the Steelers are going to need cornerbacks starting next year.

Pappy

IMO, the development of players is up to the players and not the Steelers. The Steelers give them the opportunity to develop, it's up to the players to take advantage of the opportunity. The...

The Steelers are doing what they believe is best for the team and I don't know what all the angst for drafting Jones is all about. If he turns into a franchise quarterback, great, if he's a career...

I have no idea who to compare him to, but when I watch his highlights he never gives up on a play, even when he's blocked initially and that is a good thing. Giving 110% on every play doesn't take...

I disagree, the Steelers were constantly giving up field position yards due to the lack of having a punter that could switch the field. I guess I just place a little more importance on the guy that...

Why not sign one of the guys as a UDFA with a young leg? Did any punters get drafted or signed as UDFAs? Signing a 38 year old punter that was only a couple yards better than Butler doesn't seem...

Special teams weren't very special IMO either.

Pappy

I also believe the Steelers are going to take a long hard look at Woodley this year as well. If the often injured and productivity lacking OLB from last year shows up he may end up being the one...
