    And again I'll ask you: The Offensive line has nothing to do with their running success? It's all Jackson/Spiller.

    That's just laughable.
    What do you mean I can't compare them? If the Bills were a mid-to-deep passing offense, Fitzpatrick's YpA would be higher. The guy completes 62% of his passes. You can't say a point doesn't mean **** just because you don't agree.

    I never said that the offensive line has nothing to so with their rushing success. You said that, not me. I just think that their rushing success has more to do with Spiller and Jackson than with Urbik.

    Look, I don't think Urbik is a bad player. He's just not the savior of the Bills' running game. He's not the second coming of Faneca or Wisniewski.

    In Pittsburgh, he had to either nail down a starting job or have position flexibility. He went 0 for 2. It's fine that he was able to find a fit with another team. It doesn't necessarily mean that he belonged here.

    Just because their offense is designed for intermediate and long throws, doesn't mean Fitzpatrick can or will take advantage of it. All you have to do is look at Chan Gailey's system. Easy to see.

    Secondly, not hard to see the Steelers blundered and let a good/decent guard go after one year for no reason. Who did they keep that was better?

    Urbik gets some credit for starting on that line. Whether you want to admit it or not, they get credit for the great rushing stats as much as the running back.

    In the 3rd round of the 2009, we drafted Mike Wallace and Keenan Lewis after Kraig Urbik.

    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

    Urbik gets some credit for starting on that line. That doesn't mean he would be starting on this one...

    Urbik is what he is: an average NFL guard.

    Means he's better than most of our OL. He is probably the equal of Foster and Colon. And he's stayed healthy.

    Could of went 3 for 3 in 2009.

    how does that mean he is better than most of our OL?

    again, what have you seen from urbik that makes you say this? The fact that he signed an extension that was for absolutely average money?

    could we use him now with all of the injuries, sure. Back then? He couldn't win a spot.
