    As long as the best players are the ones playing, I don't care. Why would I?

    You're a pure and true Steeler fan.

    True fans understand that rookies need to be developed. Anything you get from a rookie during year one is gravy. You get in trouble when you absolutely NEED to have production from a rookie right off the bat. You can ruin a guy long term by expecting too much too early. I'd rather let a guy ripen properly than ending up with a green banana.

    'true' fans claim that every pick is excellent and project hof, probowl , starter as soon as they are drafted. when they dont turn out that way, they change their tune and say you need to give them a few years to develop.
    dont believe me, go read the after draft comments

    I have never seen or heard of any Steeler fan proclaiming that every pick is excellent, a budding hall of famer, a future pro bowler and a starter from day one. More like the opposite: Definitive statements are usually made by those bashing the pick. "He's a bum, has no chance to start, will be out of the league next year, what was Tomlin/Colbert/LeBeau thinking, yada, yada, yada."

    Sure, I've seen optimism; I've seen hope; I've seen people saying they like the pick, etc., but not extravagant predictions such as you suggest.

    why in the world would fans of the Steelers want drafted players to be HOFers?

    I cant believe it, I will go and read a few threads about these draft picks and confront these fans who love this team.

Bryant is just a more talented player than moye and his raw ability alone combined with his size puts him ahead of moye on the depth chart.
    He was also faster and more athletic than Hines Ward. Means little to me. Sweed would fit into that category as well.

    Yes, but Hines was a proven commodity and Moye is not, so, I would put Bryant ahead of Moye on ceiling alone and behind Hines because of production and performance, that's pretty easy. If it were Hines in his second year and Bryant in his first, you might put Bryant ahead of him on athletic ability, but would probably swap them as the competition for the position started.

    I can't trust your opinion on Bryant because of your love for Moye

    I hope Moye develops into what you think he can be but I'm willing to wait and see vs declaring him a 3 year project. There is a reason we drafted another big WR and it's probably because we don't have faith in Brown, Moye and maybe Wheaton is in that group as well.

    I'm hearing too much love for Bryant from non Steeler fans to believe he will be behind Moye and Brown.

    That is ok, don't need you to trust my opinion on anything. I'm not saying Moye is the next Stallworth but I like the kids heart and the way he plays the game. If that is wrong so be it.
