James Harrison Deal Speaks Volumes About Jarvis Jones

[Slapstick]

"Show me (us)" season for Jones. Hopefully we see more performance than we hear excuses. Unfortunately too much of the latter for the past two years.

Of course. IR = Excuse.

Of course. IR = Excuse.

I bet 100 buck if we did a search on Ancestry.com Ovi is related to Squidkid.

He goes full troll for JJ...

Of course, I'm a troll because I have not embraced Jones as savior of our defense given all that he has accomplished.

No. Only because you have already jumped to a conclusion based upon a very incomplete body of work...

Well I guess its totally on Jones then to decide our different points of view. We'll see what he does this year to justify his draft status. Who knows, you may be right and I'll happily tell you that you were.

This is true of every draft pick and free agent signing ever.

I thought Jarvis played pretty well last year before he was injured. In fact, the play on which he was injured was a pretty good play.

It may well be that the Steelers don't "trust" Jones, but that could be because he had a pretty bad wrist injury and bad wrist injuries tend to be nagging or recurring. If the wrist is fully healed, there's no reason to think he can't pick up where he left off.

Meanwhile, beware the Zumwalt.

No.. only JJ. No excuses.

Savior of our defense? lol.. see this is what a troll says when challenged.

when it comes to JJ and DL you exhibit some serious trolling tendencies. Its poutrage and whine and cheese

First you complained about DL not playing rookies..
Then you complained because the D is too complex for rookies...
And then you complain because JJ isnt a star as soon as he touched the field..

Smh... take a break already.

[Discipline of Steel]

Of course, I'm a troll

Agreed.
Although the body of work regarding JJ is incomplete, the fact is more than confirmed from years of self-serving deprecations of DL and JH.

It is up to him to decide my point of view. You have already decided yours.

[Oviedo]

"Self serving???" Really??? Is there a prize I don't about? Has someone been holding out on a paycheck I should've gotten from Planet Steeelers??

"Self Serving" is probably one of the dumbest statements I have ever heard. Not sure how it serves me to get ripped for stating unpopular points of view. Even if they prove to be true.

[Oviedo]

I'll gladly sings his praises if he performs. I promise you I will praise Slappy as a "God of the football world" if he becomes a star. Will you criticize if he doesn't or will there be another uncontrolled variable conspiring against his success?

[SteelCrazy]

I dont think Oviedo is a troll. He just has very little faith in Jarvis Jones becoming who he was drafted to be. Now, if he starts wishing the guy to fail, I'll call him a troll.

Yes, really. For years we have been subjected to your iterations about how you know better than DL running the Steelers defense...and it was only his EGO that kept him headed down the road to such abject failure. Now that DL has moved on, you continue your assault on his reputation with 'I told you so' comments that you believe validate what you have been saying about him all along. That is how your comments are self serving...and frankly it disgusts me to watch you serve your own EGO at the expense of one of the greatest Steelers of all time.
