    Well that's debatable. I remember Jerome's last year, they did a special on him on espn i think. They followed him around his home and the guy had all he could do to get up a flight of stairs. His knees were shot.
    I meant bad knee's that keep you from completing seasons.... even with that he was playing clean up and he was great at it.

    Smith looked horrible last year and it doesn't make any sense to bring him back for 10 plays a game.
    Smith's never had a problem with his knees either. He was placed on I.R. for a rotator cuff tear, and torn bicep or tricep (I forget which), and a pinched nerve in his neck.
    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

      I was responding to someone who used Jerome's last year as a recipe for Aaron.

      Jerome's knees are probably the reason he called it quits. Aaron needs to do the same.
