    If uneducated homers need help Slap. I aim to please.

    In fact I like that nickname, Pope will forever be known as "The Decoy" by me.

        In contrast to the crappy YMC nickname, why not go with OCD...Old Cheap Decoy (not Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).
        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.

                You're the one who wants close to 50% run pass with a $15 mil a year QB behind center.

                    I want SB wins...

                    Close to 50% run/pass with a $15 mil a year QB will get us there...

                    56% pass with a $15 mil a year QB failed...

                        Only if the offense dominates in the first half and protects the defense.

                        You try that and the offense can't do that? The defense in the 4th quarter will fold like a cheap suit.

                        The league is phasing out defense, and you want to run the ball 50%.

                        Sheer brilliance.

                            Passing 56% of the time led to 21st in scoring...and a not-so-hot red zone scoring %...

                            Scoring points on offense (and preventing them on defense) never goes out of style...

                                Um no, forcing 15 turnovers all year, and running the ball 58% on first down, and 65% on first down in the red zone, is what led to 21st in scoring.

                                You have to go 80 yards every drive? You lose chances to score points.

                                    Except for last year's Steelers...

                                    If they started every drive in the red zone, their scoring may have been worse...

                                        The Saints only had 16 turnovers yet had the highest scoring percentage in the league.

                                        I know, you will now blame that on ARII. But the bottom line is that the offense that Arians implemented last year was a failure.

                                            Their QB gets to throw the ball 600 times a year.

                                            Ours is forced to hand off.

                                                ben averages 34 passes a game last year. if he would have taken a game off he would have finished with 545 attempts. that would have been 9th overall in the league

                                                        Do you have a breakdown of Ben's record by passing attempts? If I recall, the team's winning percentage and the number of passes thrown by Ben are inversely related.

                                                            Oh this argument again.

                                                            This is Ben's 9th season. In this season he will be paid $15 MILLION.

                                                            If you want a game manager to hand off all day. Ben needs to go.

                                                            Good day.
