Steelers sign WR Donte Moncrief on 2 year deal

[Ernie]

Yeah..but this RB class isn't that great is it? Then again, you really don't have to be for what we need from it.

i saw several guys in that group that would be immediate plug and play guys. if miles sanders from Penn State is around in the mid rounds...would love to see us snatch him up

Well, we got a ton of picks. Why not.

ill take mid round immediate plug and play guys on the cheap all day long... lol.... Denvers pro bowl rookie RB (Lindsay) from last year went undrafted. With our O-line.. theres no reason why i new star couldnt be born

True.....runningbacks, plug and play.

I think you guys are selling Samuels short. Remember, we had a poster in here who said last year at this time that Conner was only a backup. Period. Now Conner’s a pro bowl runningback. Let’s see Samuels now after he’s had a chance to be in our strength and conditioning program, drop a little weight, etc. etc.

I’m all for adding depth but to think we need a 1b runningback is a little premature.

I think Samuels will be a good back.

He wasn't asked to do things like blocking in college because he had so many other responsibilities.

But it seemed like he did reasonably well on the whole when called upon last year.

I don't think we need to draft a bank early or sign one in UFA. We're looking for a 3rd string guy

I would like a Eric Pegram, more modern day, Tarik Cohen/ Darren Sproles type change of pace scatback type, to be our THIRD RB...

Those types are easier to pick up because teams our afraid to use those " smaller " types as backups...

But, We already have Samuels as our backup...So we may be able to get the best, or one of the best, of THESE TYPE of RB's...And even better....Can probably still get them with a later round pick

Those types of players are not just difficult to find, but harder to project in the pros than some other positions. Dri Archer was supposed to be that guy and we all know how that turned out.

I'm pretty certain that most folks here are already keenly aware of Maniac's tendencies in any debate to misrepresent someone's opinion and then proceed to argue against some random fantasy statement that no one ever actually made (and in spite of folks specifically explaining to him how he can go back and use the search function on this board, he's always refused to find any actual evidence to prove what was actually said). He's received more straw man jpegs recently that he might as well rename himself Scarecrow. The more he attempts to sully other posters' reputations by continuing to spout his hyperbolic nonsensical ramblings, the more he makes himself look foolish.

[steeler_george]

Does anyone have info on his contract cap hit?

[Iron Shiek]

Yeah, that's better.

I thought Scarecrow was TomieSteel.

For the record..

I wasn't the only one who called Ruth out on what he said about Conner. So to say I"m the only one is as usual, a misrepresentation by Ruth.

Ruth, you've been running around the last few weeks constantly bringing up your Conner gaf over and over again. I haven't been thinking about it but you are constantly bringing it up. Why???

Because you got caught in making a bullcrap statement about him and I called you on it. So just like a scorned school girl your constantly following me around bringing it up. Then you try and discredit people who catch you in your mistakes. We all make mistakes; I've made mistakes and YOU'VE made mistakes. But at least I can own them. That's what grown men do.

Grow up Ruth; stop acting like a scorned little school girl and let it go. I have. It's not a big deal to me.

***** QUESTION FOR ALL THE POSTERS IN THIS ROOM.....

As long as you've known Ruth to be in this room, has he EVER admitted that he was wrong about ANYTHING???? I don't want you to answer me in a response; I want you to just think about that question to yourself. I already know the answer. That's why he's after me so much about something I quit frankly am not thinking about.

Your the one who looks foolish Ruth: You want to pretend to be "Mr. Perfect" ..nobody is perfect. Not me and certainly not you.

I admitted EXACTLY what I said. Coming off Conner's rookie season, I was happy with what I saw in him as a runner, but I had reservations about whether or not that we could rely on him to be our true bellcow back if Bell did not report to the team last year. Those concerns were based on the lack of evidence from his rookie year to show that he could adequately perform as a blocker in pass protection, and if he could be an effective weapon catching the ball out of the backfield. That's WHAT I SAID.

YOU TWISTED IT, saying that I was proclaiming that Conner would never be more than a back RB in this league (NEVER SAID THAT) and labeled me a Conner hater forever and ever. I didn't think that the kid was ready for the full load of a true bellcow back coming into year 2 in the league. The evidence of his play on the field last year showed that I was wrong about that. Of course I admit that. But I'm not going to admit that I ever said that Conner would only ever be a backup RB in this league or that I am a charter member of the Conner Haters Club, because those are fantasies created in your own mind.

You probably won't read this if you are putting me on ignore again, but since you never seem to acknowledge what I actually say and just make up your own story anyway, I guess this doesn't matter. Oh well.
