New Sheriff in Town

Questionable? This wasn't jaywalking...

A person died!

 

I honestly couldn't give two sh!ts what NE got out of the deal. They're not the fearsome Brady Patriots. They're as irrelevant as the Steelers are right now in the AFC. Maybe even more so. It was a great trade to make and I don't care who they made it with. Well, except for the Ravens or Bungles.

 

I don't know if you meant to quote me or the person who actually stated his character was "questionable" which was the person I was responding to??Either way one incident/mistake doesn't define a person's character regardless of whether the one incident/mistake ended in a persons demise, or not. That's why this particular incident concluded with a misdemeanor and not a felony because he's not a repeat offender and it was determined there was nothing intentional about his actions. They were racing cars and apparently the other driver lost control of their car. That's it and that's that. I don't even see a true character issue there other than a lack of maturity.

 

I heard on a podcast this morning dk sports(so someone with access to the team) the Steelers had a deal on the table with the Texans last year, but the Texans balked at the last minute. Apparently the Steelers were trading up for Pickett

 

In another car. Rather important detail you’re leaving out.

 

First of all the people who died were in another car. The other driver was driving drunk...not Jalen. theres no indication (that i know of) that he knew that the other driver was drinking, or at minimum that they were twice above the legal limit. His driving fast in basically a residential area was reckless, but that's something that can easily be fixed. That's not a massive character flaw...get real. Being accused of repeat sexual assaults is a massive character flaw...which most people on this board seemed to have no issue with when it pertained to their hero qb. How many people who said that driving fast is a major character flaw have been issued speeding tickets?? Do you consider yourself to have a major character flaw because you've gotten 1 or 2 speeding tickets?? What about those of you who have sped or raced in a car, but not been caught...same with you??

 

No one is making excuses, but some people know not to blow incidents out of proportion either. Case and point... you previously characterized his actions as a "massive" character flaw before. Now its just a character flaw. Were you assuming he does this all the time to say its a "massive" character flaw? Or did you have evidence of such?? I dont think you left off massive this time by accident. Aside from that, you're saying you've never sped in your car or got a speeding ticket in your life?? If so, do you believe you have a "massive" character flaw because you have??

 

OMar needs to win a single game first and at the moment get us more picks.
Junior is a no go at 32.

 

Bro, obviously it wasn't new for me. I gave you specific and FACTUAL examples over the years. I even gave you speculation about how teams need trading partners ect.

I can go further and say the NFL "mind sets" changed since Colbert became the GM.

Colbert was on board with giving up a 1st round pick to acquire for Fitz when Ben went down.

Colbert was aggressive when needed and also flexible as a GM/pres when the circumstances dictated.

You can believe what you want regardless of the facts I presented.

Maybe Tomlin is running the personnel show? We will never know the inner workings of the Steelers.

What I know is 100% FACT is that nothing happens without Rooney's approval.

 

On the NFL Network this afternoon the talk was about how the Jets coveted Jones only to be screwed by Belichick and Jones became a Steeler. Scott Peoli the former Patriot GM was on telling about how they also screwed the Jets in 2001 to get Matt Light, who became a Pro-Bowl tackle for them. The Pats had the 50th overall pick and called Light around pick #45 and told him that they were taking him at #50. Light told Peoli that he had the Jets on hold who were picking him at #49. Peoli told Light to not tell the Jets that he had spoken to him. He then got on the phone to Matt Millen and the Lions who had pick #48. Peoli said he was shocked that all Millen wanted was a 6th round pick to swap places. So the Patriots traded up to #48 and stole Matt Light from under the noses of the Jets. It was interesting to hear some behind the scenes drama that goes into a draft trade.

 

2 people died that was determined not to be his fault... so yeah...it's being blown out of proportion pertaining to him. I ve never heard someone classify someone who speeds as having a massive character flaw. Maybe a lead foot, but not a massive character flaw. I would assume at the very least there would be proof he does it all the time before characterizing the behavior as a massive character flaw. You mind telling me other incidents where he has been cited for similar behavior, because im assuming you know something the rest of us don't??

 

Yeah he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word to the Jets about his talk with NE.

 

I don't believe what I want. I gave you FACTS.

Yeah one year "small sample size" doesn't equate to 22 years and the facts I presented.

You want speculation? Kahn isn't running the Steelers draft decisions. Tomlin is the HMIC when it comes to the draft. Ask Wex.

 

you cherry picked one season. I rest my case.

 

Effed up thing to say?? If it was true he contributed to their deaths he would be in prison right now. Extra much?? Take it down a notch.

- He can dictate whoever he chooses he wants to talk to...it's no different them a QB complaining about a team he got drafted to and demanding a trade. I guess Eli Manning had serious character flaws.

-a lot of players skip out on pro days period.

Nothing you've stated say character flaws...just a lit of get off my lawn garbage.

 

looks like they picked

 

I think it's a good pick. I just don't like what We gave , or who We helped. That's all. I never get the picks I want. I would never root against them for it. For the Falcons fan to suggest it makes Me want to crush Him with His flat earth map. LoL
