OLB Victor Butler visits Pittsburgh tomorrow (Thursday)

[Mister Pittsburgh]

Hard to say we will improve on 8-8 only relying on draft picks...especially if you look at Tomlin's drafts. I think I read that only 3 of 33 players drafted between 2006 and 2009 are still one the team.

[Rara]

That really sucks...Really bums me out that Butler isn't signing with us.

[pittpete]

Butler was the one they needed to grab.

We're done. 6-10 if we insist on the Rooney/Haley Way

Maybe you do it to get a rise out of people but your posts are pure garbage.
You add nothing positive to this board.
What a waste of the web

What's to be positive about? We let Wallace go, Sanders is on the way, and we've done nothing but sign bargain priced crap.

David Johnson? C'mon, what does he add to this team?

This was exactly why they needed to not switch offenses. You had Sanders and AB entering their crucial 3rd seasons, and what happened? Everything they learned for two years was thrown out the window.

And for what? Because Art wants to play games with the most important player on his team.

Wasted a prime season of Ben, and now a major overhaul is happening anyway.

If you call that positive? I feel sorry for you.

[pittpete]

Don't feel sorry for me.
What would you have done because you seem to be so smart?
I'd love to hear it.
We let Wallace go?
Are you blind and deaf.
He wanted the big $$$.
Where the f_ck were they suppossed to get it from?
Sanders is an average WR, I'll take the 3rd pick from the Pats.
We lost a 35 year old OLB with an inflated salary coming off a knee and 2 spine surgeries
We got rid of a malcontent in Mendenhall
I was surprised we didn't sign Lewis, but I'd rather trust the guys who've been doing this for a living, then some schmuck on a message board screaming the sky is falling.
Did you ever think our OL might be set for the next few years with some really young talent?
You really think Woodley's gonna come to camp out of shape after this past season?
How the hell do our draft picks get a chance if we don't give them one?
Worilds might just surprise some people this year.
Troy could play 16 games and be healthy.
Cortez could make us forget about Lewis with his 1 career INT.
Imagine if we get some offensive studs in the first few rounds and are actually in camp to work with Haley?
Stop your crying and biatching ya drama queen.
Ya never know until ya do

Again, 33 picks from 2006-2009. 6 still with the team and 3 were just brought back.

From the guys you "trust" so much.

Don't blame me son, the facts speak for themselves.

[pittpete]

Yes and we have suffered so much during that time right?
Son, that makes me laugh.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling!
One of the best franchises in all of sports never mind the NFL, remember that son...

[Siggy00]

We're suffering NOW.

Remember this, BEFORE the Steelers lucked into a COIN TOSS and got Bradshaw, the "Rooney Way" won NOTHING for 40 years.

Then when Bradshaw quit, they won NOTHING from 1983-2003.

Ben arrives, they win 2 more rings, and they only got him because the Manning's are douches, and the Browns and Raiders are incompetent.

Unless this team realizes WHY they win, and HOW they need to win. We'll be the Cleveland Browns in 2 seasons.

[zachintosh66]

This would be nice... but doesnt look like its prolly going to happen

[Rara]

I am thinking that Victor Butler hasn't signed with the Saints because its the weekend. I still feel there is a little chance of him coming back and signing with the Steelers. All time will tell.

[Bluto]

Per KFFL. Butler left New Orleans without a contract and will meet with Cleveland on Monday.. That may be his spot. They may have the cash to throw at him. Groves I believe is gonna play inside so he could be on the other side of Kugler.

what about Jabaal Sheard, are the Browns giving up on him already?

Forgot about probably there best Def player in Sheard. Yaeh think his chances may be better with us or NO.

[Siggy00]

Sheard plays both OLB and DE for them.

[Bluto]

Sheard plays both OLB and DE for them.

NOw they are going to 3-4 dont think he can play DE end with hand in ground. He will be OLB.
