Blow it up!!

[JIMBO]

My take on the current situation:
WR: Johnson = drops Ebron = drops Claypool = Ju Ju clone Washington = deep threat, but Ben??
OT: AV = turnstile Chuks = backup on a good team Banner + ditto
G: DeCastro = done Dotson = a keeper C; ??
QB: Ben and ??
RB; # 1 or Conner = wait and see
DL: Cam = ok Tuitt = average without Bud beside him Nothing else to consider
OLB: JJ = our only star Hightower = improving
ILB: Bush = a recovery year Spillane = tough, but?
CB: Nelson = make or break year Haden = almost done
S: Edmunds = a waste Minka = afraid to hit anyone
K: Boswell: good P: Berry = ok
This team reminds me of the Pirates- a MLB franchise with AAA talent. Putting on my GM hat I would trade out of #1 for an acceptable offer unless RB Harris falls to us or one of the top 4 offensive tackles slips that far. I don't have the value chart in front of me, but with our # 2 and the choices we should get 3 quality players out of the top 100 ( and we should play them all as much as possible this year )
Given our upcoming schedule I see no better than 8-8 and hopefully it will be worse so we can draft in the top 15 in 2022. I would say goodbye to Ben, Tuitt and DD after this year and start the rebuild that should have been done this year instead of Ben's victory tour.

You've got bigger balls then our owner. Because Rooney won't do that. And how Rooney placates to a deteriorating QB is a sad look. I think a lot of us would go your route and be good with it knowing we'll turn the arrow back upward in a couple of seasons. Us real fans know that you've got to clean house sometimes to right the ship.

Just wanted you to know your not alone in that thought process. Good job.

No clue what your beef is with Rooney. Best owner in football, by far, and you’re still unhappy. I can’t tell if some of us are just spoiled or following the wrong team.

Thanks but no thanks. Beyond ridiculous and demonstrates clear lack of understanding how this franchise operates and their vision

That’s easy...Rooney doesn’t hate Tomlin and won’t fire him. In SM’s hate filled warped mind that is the worse possible offense

oh and if you disagree with him and demonstrate what a fool and clown he is you will be put on the dreaded “Ignore” which is actually an honor

What do you think makes him the best owner?

Is this Crash???

[crushedspirit]

Making a 37 year old QB the highest paid for his age in history, and 3rd highest for his position, makes me wonder what they were thinking.

Us real fans know that

you're the furthest thing ever from a real Steelers fan.

Is this Crash???

no, although both are annoying as hel! I'm sure they're different people.

Crash is actually knowledgeable whereas Steel Maniac doesn't even know what he doesn't know.

and Crash has balls, he would never be a weak coward and put other posters on ignore like Steel Maniac does.
