    One horrible game vs. a good defense playing at home.
    I'd like to see him a few more times before we bench him.
    Our running game is horrendous and does nothing to help out our pass game.
    Handing it off out of a shotgun doesnt constitute establishing a run game

The O numbers were all around 27th, 28th etc. I said to my son that there was only one nice number up there: "4". That was the number of ints. Despite having garbage numbers personally, and for the O as a whole, at least he had been protecting the ball. That went out the window on Thursday and only a solid D kept the game within range through 3 quarters.

      MR's worst trait IMO is his complete lack of pocket presence. Not only does he seem flat footed and still as the D line converges, but if he does slide it seems that he more often slides into pressure than away from it. I think that this is one of the things that Ben has always done so well that is overlooked in its impact on a play.
      when you're that inacurrate, it will miss the defensive players too

        Voice of reason. And why the Steelers are better than most teams. They will give the guy an honest chance. And my opinion, an honest chance is at least a season. And given the lack of weapons on Offense, they should give him next as well.

          Smh. Gotta love it.
          Lol....that's not why he is a circus.
          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?

            Other than that he's pretty AWESOME.

                Steelers did not send a rep to Kap workout.

                Good.

                  I haven’t heard anyone in Steeler management saying there benching MR. People are just voicing regression that they see. Definitely not what you want to see in a supposed franchise QB

                    Kap isn't serious about wanting to return to the NFL.

                    If he was serious, he wouldn't be changing things up at the last minute like this. He just wants publicity, IMO, and for people to think that he wants to play, but the big, bad NFL is shutting him out.

                      Total publicity stunt. I'm glad we stayed away from it.

                        Well this is not a Kaepernick publicity stunt, this whole workout thing is an NFL publicity stunt. Teams could bring Kap in for a workout individually but they dont want the media attention. A workout like this provides cover for the teams and the NFL. I just cant believe with all the guys we have seen signed, women beaters, drug users, crazy people, people who have actually killed people, and the guy who eveyone is afraid to sign is a guy who took a knee during the national anthem to protest racial injustice.

                          Colin Kaepernick completed a 40-minute workout for what his agent said were representatives from eight NFL teams at an Atlanta-area high school on Saturday.
