    Clearly, he is a headcase who can't catch (which is exactly what Pap DID NOT say)...

    He just needs to be thrown the ball...

    How many drops has Holmes had this year? Remember when Hines fumbled inside the 5 vs. the Titans?

    You have to believe in the guys on your team...you have to give them opportunities even when they mess up...
    Come on, man. Holmes and Hines have PROVEN to be dependable receivers. Sweed has NOT.
    No one is saying that Sweed should be a starter, like Ward and Holmes are. But I think it is worthwhile to keep him active as the 4th WR on gamedays because he has more potential than McDonald (and Sweed contributes on special teams to boot).
    Ok, I can agree with that. What I don't agree with is bringing up Ward's and Holmes' mistakes this year. They are PROVEN guys. Everyone fumbles once in a while (Ward). Everyone had a bad game or two (Holmes). Those two guys have PROVEN that they will not make those mistakes on a regular basis. That gives them a mulligan in my mind. You have to EARN that by being consistenly good over a period of time. Sweed has not earned anything. So don't bring Hines and Holmes into this debate.

          The reason that Hines and Holmes were brought up was to show that even the best of them drop the ball. Hines and Holmes both have dropped more passes than Sweed and each of them have a more egregious error (Hines' fumble and Tone's wrong route leading to the pick 6). Sweed has the same number of dropped sure TD's as Wallace this season (one each). I'm not here to praise Sweed, because he still needs to prove himself like Ward, Holmes, and even Wallace has so far. But I'm not here to crucify him over a simple drop either, because all WR's have drops (the Jerry Rice 15 drops in his first year that someone mentioned is the perfect example). Dude just has to stop thinking and start just playing.
          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.
