    It is tough to debate this position.. it's a "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" type of deal. Heck... a guy like Justin Hunter could be a top notch receiver (having Ben throw to him).. Sammy Coates could easily return to early season form last year (prior to broken fingers).. DHB could also be an asset with his size/speed combination (if they'd dial his number more often).. It's fairly easy to make the case that this was a luxury pick. With that being said, the odds of Coats, DHB, Rogers stepping up their game (as a result of adding Ju-Ju) also increases. I don't hate the pick. Just hope they develop some of the DB's they have on the roster..

    I've never wanted to be more wrong in my life. But, I just don't think we did enough to improve our secondary. Despite what some believe...we ARE chasing the Pats. The Steelers are the second best team in the NFL. This offseason the Pats did more to improve than we did. That upsets me.

    If that's the case, the entire FO needs to be fired.

    agreed... I've said it all along..we've got to finish ahead of NE in the playoff seedings to have a chance.

    Yeah, you should quit you job and drive to Pittsburgh. I'm sure they could use you in the FO.
    I lost a bet about Najee gaining 1300 yards.

    "Our head coach has failed to win a playoff game for seven years in a row. His game day strategy, culture of divas, in game decisions, clock management, player evaluation, hires, and affinity with sub par starters at RB, P, and OL are holding the Steelers back. That standard remains the standard"

    yeah, cause we definitely have a history of beating NE in the playoffs at home. IMO it doesn't matter where we play NE, its how we play them.

    Did the Steelers know Bryant would be reinstated? Were they (are they) able to fully trust that he will be available to play? And produce?

    I just wish some fans would stop passing of their opinions as unassailable facts...
    Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

    They would be in pretty good shape if I graced that FO with my presence.

    Yes, actually they did. Did you see Bryant training like a freak? Of course he was going to be able to contribute. And there was zero way after completing rehab, staying clean and doing his time they were going to not let him back.
