I really never minded Jim Everett either. He wasn't bad, just never won anything, played on a ****e team, and put some decent stats up. That is all Palmer will ever amount to, but nobody realizes it but some of us highly intelligent board frequenters. ha
I met Jim Rome when he was first starting out in San Diego. He was a hard worker to be sure, and the other sports jocks called him "Junior". Truth is that he is an ego who is over compensating for his 5'2" stature. Never blamed Everett for dealing with rudeness.
I've never held that against Jim Everett either. Rome was clearly bating him. Besides, if it had gone to a straight up throw down, i think "Chrissy" would've taken Rome cleanly. I used to like Rome's radio show, but I just had to stop for several reasons.Originally Posted by Djfan
A) He'll beat a darned joke to death
B) Half of his callers are just insipid morons
C) Half of his show is dead air. He takes the longest breaks between sentences some times.
But back to the thread:
This is obviously garbage. I don't understand why there aren't a few more Steelers on the list as well. I guess no one else "stands out" as much as Ben. It pains me to no end that no Steelers defensive player is on the list.
for one they have mario williams extremely high also charles woodson should not be in the top 20. even when he was in his prime he was very over rated. how is troy not on the top 50? thats retarded and worse than having ben at 17. even though troy had injury problems the last two years he is still the best all around safety in the league. at least ray lewis wasnt on the list. then i would have to punch a hole in my monitor
Ben definitely closed the gap between himself and Carson last season. If Carson is in the top ten then Ben should be closely behind in the rankings. To have around 10 spots between them and leaving Troy and Hampton off the list is a little suspect. The guy appears not to like the Steelers too much. Although I can't blame the guy...
Did nothing? Explain? In 2005 he led the team to a division crown and then we all know what happened. It is what it is, I'm not going to complain about the incident but you can't say Carson didn't do anything with that talent. In 2006, Henry was suspended, Perry got hurt and Rudi started slowing down. Rudi's YPC went down in 2006 and our O-Line was hurt badly. Having two great receivers and nothing else isn't going to get it done.
Luckily our coaching staff realized that and drafted 2 rookie receivers and signed a solid TE this offseason. Now we just need our running game to be at least decent...

We're working on a defense. Should be done sometime this decade...
this looks like some blind monkey threw darts at a wall of pictures. I'll give him the top 3, but anyone who's even heard of the league could get them in the right order.
... And the same thing is said about the repair work on the Brent Spence bridge into your fair city of fandom...

BTW, the fate of Chris Henry is now in the hands of the jury... Just heard on the news that the jury was sent to deliberate just before 4pm today...
Anyway, I just don't see your defense working as a cohesive unit. The line is separate from the backers, and they are separate from the secondary... One group must compliment the other and work in tandem to be effective... I could give you an example, but you probably know which organization I would reference... You guys have some good individual talent, but they don't work well together at this point in time, IMO.
...And yes, Keith Rivers is a stud.
I think they'll work as a cohesive unit this season. Injuries kind of prevented that the last couple of seasons.

Keith Rivers I really hope steps up and becomes a leader for this young unit. Since TKO left, Odell appeared to be the only other player that sort of brought the team together with his mix of swagger/confidence and talent. As sad as that comment is...
