    Why does the person accusing a person of lying have to prove it?
    Certain people make all kinds of claims but when called,
    On it, the other person has to spend the time to prove he's lying.
    D
    Seems like it should be the other way around.
    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?

      Sheesh.
      Wow. I’m asking question and listening to what your saying. I’m responding to what your saying. I may not agree with you... and if I don’t, I’m called a narcissist .

      But I’ll brush aside your name calling to get to the root.

        Even worse.. when you give them the data to support your position on something , then your being intellectually dishonest?

          I think it makes sense to adopt the typical American (and Western) standard of innocent until proven guilty.

          If a poster is accusing another poster of something, I think the "burden of proof" should be on the accuser.

            That’s common sense.

            However, some people on here think it’s ok to slander and misquote and hen try to make that person prove their side.

            It’s the old “how long have you been beating your wife”

            The problem is the receipts art in the database and more than enough respectable posters know this dude lies.

              We can blindly cheer with our Steelers goggles on and say everything is perfect and there's no need for any changes.

              I like fairy tales and unicorns.

                You can do that but I don't see anybody else doing that. Of course some people just like to complain about the team because, well, they just like to complain.
                As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.

                but Go Steelers!!!

                  So what you are saying is if I claim you said that Tomlin is the best coach of all time you would have to prove that you didn't say that. How do you prove that negative? Another ridiculous statement. You must be learning from your twin.

                    Everyone on this board is a Tomlin fan boy. Yinz all have man crushes on our coach.

                    Makes sense. He’s gonna bring home #7 this season.

                      No. I'm talking something like claiming that no dependable dbs are drafted after the first 12 picks in the first round.
                      It's an obvious lie.
                      The liar should have to prove it.

                      And nobody would believe you if you said, I said, Tomlin was the best ever....unless I got called on it then I would try to save face by saying best ever at choking in playoffs with superior talent...lol

                        No one says this.

                        It's a strawman argument.

                        The actual argument is that probability goes does quickly in the draft and someone drafted as high as Minkah is likely to be much better than someone drafted where we got Burns. Especially when Burns was more for a draft for need instead of BPA

                          How about we stop being sensitive and embrace discussion. Judge me don’t judge me I don’t give a flying flip. Don’t take this the wrong way, but none of yalls opinions of me matters. If we all approach it that way, let the discussions fly. This isn’t a quilting group. This is a football discussion.
                          Trolls are people too.
