    As you say, I think his die is cast in terms of his ceiling. I don't think we have "Von Miller" or Dwight Freeney on our hands. But I think he still has a chance to be a lesser Greg Lloyd or Peezy, a Jason Gildon-level player.
    If he attained Lloyd or Peezy status, I'd be elated. Gildon is the team's all time sack leader, I'd take that too, as long as it the younger version; not the titty fighting do nothing one.

    I'm not down on JJ, just wanted to point out the many unrealistic claims that he would be an instant starter on the team because he wouldn't need to be "converted". You've basically made the same statement.
    Like I said, there are always exceptions to the rule. But, for everyone you name I could probably name 5 who did next to nothing. btw: ogletree only had 1.5 sacks...it's great to make tackles but splash plays is what separates the men from the boys. I'm not in the least worried about JJ. Our rookies never advance quick enough for Steeler fans.
    Trolls are people too.

    Be careful! If you use the term "splash play", you may be ridiculed!
    Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

    Jarvis better make some hay today vs. a guy named Byron Bell.

    Exactly!! Jones compares quite favorably to others in his rookie class at his position. Many drafted much higher than him.

    As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.

    but Go Steelers!!!
