Steelers rookie Bud Dupree thrown off the field for fighting

[Slapstick]

Perhaps...but he was also the best player available and played a position of need for the Steelers...

Perhaps some sanity here:

Slappy, it's good to know some things don't change. You fawn over ever draft pick and anyone who thinks a particular draft pick was a reach or needs work is labeling him a bust. It's ok to see concerning issues with Duprees game at the college level and have concerns. It doesnt mean he will be a bust nor do I believe that. I do believe the Steelers reached because of Worilds departure. But a reach doesn't mean bust. So stop putting words in people's mouths. I have yet to hear the word bust uttered from one mouth about Dupree.

1) Umm...perhaps you should address your snide comments to the author of the article? Maybe that would serve you better...of course, if you have a problem with conflicting viewpoints, perhaps a public forum such as a message board is the wrong place for you...

2) I'm the one who came up with the name Alvin "Bust" Dupree...you heard it here first!!

1) If you post an article as a response to a poster then you are implying through another persons words.
2) As for "snide" you sir would know all about condescending and snide so I will defer to your expertise.
3) I love conflicting points of view as I enjoy debate especially about football. But, some posters certainly bring more to the table than others.

I truly wish you could appreciate the irony inherent in this post.

Let's just hope in 2017 we aren't referring to Dupree as Jarvis Jones 2.0 with a litany of excuses behind him for failing to contribute after 2+ years. If so, we need to quit drafting OLBs in Round 1.

So all this Depression bust stuff is serious??

Gotta scratch my head here.

It's not like they drafted a guy w skinny arms who ran a 4.9 forty here.
Not worried about this guy at all ( yet)

Its basically just one poster who goes nuts anytime you mention a steeler player might have a couple of flaws in his game

nobody has called Dupree a bust and most are only trying have a discussion about areas they would like to see him improve

personally, I want him to begin to flash against some of theses 2s and 3s he will be going against tomorrow. I want to see the quick step as has been reported in camp and will focus more on his physicality as it is a question that has been raised.

No kidding. I suppose we should just say everyone is perfection and has no room for growth. Might make for a less confrontational discussion...boring but less confrontational.

Nope I see no irony.
