Ben needs to be better. Actually with this WR corp, he needs to be a lot better. Maybe instead of throwing the ball, he can run out 15 yards and hand the ball to Moncrief. Dante should be able to hold onto at least 50% of themComment

I don’t know if Ben was trying to help Moncrief or break him.
Just seems like at some point you have to stop throwing his direction.
Maybe he is hurt but his catch rate in Jacksonville was 54%.
I was worried about our WR’s and so far they haven’t shown me they are ready.
I also think folks on here downplayed elite talent at skill positions. Ben can’t make average WR’s into dynamic play makers.Comment

Does it seem to anyone else that Ben is often trying to complete low percentage passes? The ones where you have to have perfect timing, dropping the ball over a shoulder. Maybe I'm wrong and it's just perception, but when I watch Brady and Brees, they seem to throw easier passes to complete, more often. It could be because they make it look easier. Whatever the case, Ben's timing with his receivers seems to take a long time to dial in.Comment

When I looked at the Texans last night , just seeing Hopkins, Fuller and Stills shows you why their so explosive.
J.J. Watt is done thou...
He's living on past glory.Comment

Dude was consistently double-teamed last night (much like his brother was the night before).
After completely dominating the league for his first 5 seasons, his 2016 and 2017 were severely limited by injury, but he bounced back last year with another 16 sack season.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.Comment

I think this might come down to what elite means.
If it's something like top 10% of starters at a position, I'm not sure we have anyone who classifies as elite anymore.
I think that AB and Bell were in that category at their peak. Maybe Ben at his peak (but I don't know if he's ever been a top 3 guy, maybe he was behind only Brady and Manning at some point). Maybe JuJu if we think "starters" includes 3 WRs / team.
On D...maybe Heyward (if he counts as a DT). Hopefully Watt, but I don't think he's there yet.
Who do you think we have on the current roster that's "elite"? And how do you define elite?Comment

How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?Comment

I would take Atlanta and Green Bay off that list
I think we had elite talent at one point with the Killer B’s, Shazier and Heyward but I think our D doesn’t have elite talent at any position right now. Good players but no game changers yet. Watt, Bush, Hargrave and maybe a healthy Tuitt definitely have a chance to return us to glory with some good play this year.
Offense it’s JuJu (hopefully) and maybe Ben if he can get these WR’s on the same page.
I just think folks were so bitter at AB and Bell that they lied to themselves and said they were only successful because of the players around them.
What some fail to realize is elite players make other players look better as well.Comment

Can we just start over? When you have guys like Chickillo and Moncrief making your roster, something is wrong.sigpicComment

Moncrief is a big , big disappointment. I was wrong about him. But the rookie needs to start next week.Comment
