    Steelers Reportedly interested in LSU QB Mettenberger

    If true, this makes the Landry Jones pick look even worse.

    While I understand the need to have a reliable backup behind Ben, I didn't like Jones as a player. A QB that struggles with pressure seems poorly suited to be a backup.

    Dangling Landry Jones as trade bait?

        What possible value would he have as trade bait? We'd get a lower pick then we took him at. I don't see anyone giving up anything for him. Why would they?

            I'd rather have Landry than most of these Top QBs in this years draft. Manziel... lol

                    The Steelers are interested in lots of players that they will never have in camp or on a roster. They always have a fourth camp arm and ZM could be nothing more than doing due diligence to find a guy to bring in who will likely be an UDFA. I hardly think this is an indictment of any QB currently on the roster.

                      Johnny Football will have an NFL career that dwarfs LJ by 1,000 times over. Whoever gets him will fill seats and win games.

                        Manziel will be boom or bust. He will either be Fran Tarkenton or Colt McCoy. My odds are on the latter.

                          My guess is if they were setting up an interview with Mettenberger, the real reason for it would be to gather intel on the likes of Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry.
                          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.

                            That's crazy talk. The hatred for one of the best play making QBs to ever come out of college dumbfounds me.

                              Exactly...I have never seen a QB like him.
