Time running out for Steelers' 3rd string QB Landry Jones?

[phillyesq]

Like I said, I welcome debate. Bring it on.

Debate or discussion would be great. Instead, it's simply the same agenda driven screed repeated in thread after thread, regardless of topic.

[Slapstick]

Learn context. He was the #3 QB to start his career, couldn't play 16 games that year.

In 2006 his appendix popped, couldn't play 16 games that year.

From the 2006-2008 seasons, the ONLY two games Ben missed were the appendix, and the meaningless week 17 game in Baltimore where he and others sat out.

He missed one game in 2009, the first "injury related" game he had missed since his SECOND season.

In 2010 he was suspended, nothing to do with football.

In 2011 he missed one game.



Sacks don't tell the story, hits do.

He's still getting hit at an alarming rate.

Start DVR-ing games, don't watch games in a bar where you can be distracted by those around you, and pay attention.

Okay, Crash. In the context of Ben's career, he has played all 16 games for two consecutive years only once in a two year period. That is a fact in any context. You can speculate about what may have happened, would haves, could haves, etc.

But, 32 consecutive games and counting is a fact.

[Slapstick]

Yeah just like I said Trib Live would sink in less than 2 years after I and about 30 guys left over their Mod being an idiot.

Poof, gone.

Just like that.

And yet, this one keeps going strong despite banning you regularly...and you dislike the owner...

[Slapstick]

But the context kills Kaboly's (and those who share his hatred of Ben and his love for Haley) agenda.

That my friend, is a fact.

Only a complete dope, would hold Ben starting a year as a #3 QB, sitting out meaningless games, having his appendix pop, and being suspended, against him as far as questioning his durability.

Durability, shmurability!

I'm saying that he played 32 games in a row and was sacked at a lower rate then at any time in his career.

[Slapstick]

So what? So now one has to like the owner to post here?

For a guy so book smart, you sure are common sense dumb aren't you?

Nah, you were whining about the mods at the trib and you whine about JH here...

What's the common denominator?

(That's a "book smart" term)

[Slapstick]

Mods.

All I told John, was that if Ruthless was threatening me with banishment for off topic, then he can't expect me to reply off topic in a thread.

He then banned me.

FACT!

[RuthlessBurgher]

First of all, YOU called ME out. You need to start taking responsibility for your words, AND your actions.

Then, you decided to flat out lie, (just like Kaboly did) and give Todd Haley improper credit by creating a phony number in regards to his offense's output.

That is all on YOU. No one else.

You guys love to take cheapshots at me when I'm not even posting here.

Real brave guys you are.

Like I said, I welcome debate. Bring it on.

If you guys think this is the "best football" Ben has ever played? You're insulting him.

I would guarantee if you asked Ben, in a one on one setting with no camera's around if he could:

A) Play three more years, in the offenses he played from years 1-8?

or

B) Play six more years, double the time, thus double the paychecks, in Todd Haley's offense?

He would pick option A.

There is no doubt in my mind.

Because winning drives Ben, but any offense that features 500 WR screens, Will Johnson, and Matt Spaeth? Won't win you a Super Bowl.

The last three years, are proof of that.

A Hall of Fame QB on the verge of leading a dynasty, reduced to being a garbage time stat whore because of an outdated owner's ego.

A damn shame if you ask me.

Lord knows that those championships have nothing to do whatsoever with having the likes of Aaron Smith, Casey Hampton, James Farrior, Larry Foote, Ike Taylor, and Troy Polamalu starting both Super Bowl victories (plus Kimo von Oelhoffen, Joey Porter, Clark Haggans, Deshea Townsend, and Chris Hope in XL and Brett Keisel, LaMarr Woodley, James Harrison, Bryant McFadden, and Ryan Clark in XLIII). How many players from our defense now would start on either of those teams? Maybe Timmons over Foote and Heyward over von Oelhoffen or Keisel? That's it. But the lack of a championship recently has everything to do with Todd Haley as O.C. Yeah, gotcha.

[Slapstick]

Read it and weep.

Have to learn to deal in facts kid, for a man who claims to be a teacher you should know better.

You keep using this word, "facts". I do not think it means what you think it means...

[Shawn]

I mean you know you guys can ban ip address. Is Crash some sort of tech wizard?

[Slapstick]

Now, there was a time when you would spoof your IP in order to post here...

[BradshawsHairdresser]

This board would be a lot better off if certain posters can grasp the fact that not everyone will agree with everything this team does.

I enjoy being able to have debate about what the team does. I'd rather they don't shut off certain viewpoints, even those I don't happen to agree with.

Hawaiian owes us all a round of beers for this latest outbreak...

Crash has offered to buy everyone beers when he comes back to Pittsburgh.

how long do you suppose it would take until a bar fight broke out?

[feltdizz]

Crash is OK by me..

until he hijacks 15 threads with the same talking point.

but half the time it's because people love to pick fights with him.

Of course. He's just misunderstood...

[feltdizz]

Of course. He's just misunderstood...

he's just focused on Ben like you are on all things Steeler positive.

it's creepy at times but he means well.

Dude just loves him some Ben
