You want to consider the possibility of making a trade like this...You have one sitting in the wings you are sure of. The Steelers don't. Until that happens...This talk is just to pass the time.
    I think it is a lock the Steelers get at least a top 5 pick this year. What are they looking at 4-12? 5-11? At best 6-10? This is why this is the time to do this.

    Again, I will bet a grip of money that after this season is over, there will be a lot of Steeler fans seeing this topic differently.

    It will be interesting to see your thoughts on this should the Steelers finish this year at 2-14, 3-13, 4-12, etc., etc.

    I believe this team is a long way away from being good on both sides of the ball.

    True, many of these picks have made “immediate impacts”…but how many really panned out as long-term starting NFL quarterback talent? And more importantly, how many of them really could be classified as “franchise quarterbacks”?
    Now, go and do the same thing for the previous 30 years. See the difference. This game and it's QB's are changing at it is happening as early as Pop Warner and the high school level. Kids are running spread offenses, throwing the ball 30 plus times a game, and learning how to read defenses/coverage at an accelerated rate. Like never before.

    It would be a tough move to make but I completely understand the logic.

    Sorry but I don't see AJ as the next big thing in the NFL.
    Personally I think Hundley, Mettenberger, and McCarron, can all play with in the Steelers system and play immediately or real close to it.

    AJ McCarron may not be your next big thing but he is about to win BCS National Championship #3, having played in probably the toughest schedule (conference), any college QB has ever played in (over his entire college career), and having done so without making hardly any mistakes, also having played his best football in college football's biggest games.

    You keep speaking about the "toughest schedule" but he played for the best team in all of college football with the best OL in college football. He was never challenged.

    He might have played for the best o-line in college football but I strongly disagree that he wasn't challenged. The SEC teams are challegned almost weekly by stiff competition.

    why would we need another QB?

    hasn't landry jones been anointed as a future star by the "experts" here?

    I don't care if AJ won 4 BCS titles.. I've already provided a stat that shows winning a BCS title means zilch to a QB's success in the NFL. Cam and Tim Tebow won 3 titles between them... it means nothing.
