Heath deserves every bit of the team MVP. He was a constant bright spot all year for the team as he always is year in and year out. I figured the team MVP would be between Heath and Clark. Both were outstanding and played with alot of heart every down they are in on. Such an unfortunate end to Heath's season though, he finally gets his pro bowl and now the team MVP and he was in surgery today for his knee. He doesnt even get to accept the award in person.

Also congrats to Mike Adams, and Big Snack as well!

 

Shame Adams got hurt. He is turning out to be a brilliant pick. DeCastro will be great too. We had a bad year, but that draft will be making an impact for years, especially if we can get anything from Spence and Ta'amu.

 

i agree. paulson once they put some muscle on him. he's learning from the best and there are some early glimpses of him picking up some 83 traits i've seen.

 

Congrats to all but especially to Heath. If everyone on the team had his work ethic, tenacity, drive, determination and football IQ, Tomlin would be trying to decide who to rest and who to play as we get ready for the playoffs. Get well, Heath, because we're going to need you next year!

 

Yes, this latest draft shows some real promise. Adams could be HUGE for us, especially if he improves his pass protection. I think Toney Clemons could help fill the void that Wallace would leave if he went elsewhere, you know, that fast guy that teams still have to cover deep. Dying to see what Spence will bring to the table.

And congrats to Heath, and Big Snack. Well deserved.

 

I agree that Clark would have had to have been in that discussion too! I have no problem with Heath getting the award and believe that he deserves it but I also think played one of his best seasons as a Steeler. The guy, quietly, did a lot of the things we have looked to Troy to do and his own job at the same time. Just my two cents!

 

Absolutely. Heath to me is the clear choice for MVP. Clark and Timmons the contenders on the defensive side of the ball. Ike and Troy would be in there if not for their injuries.

Most underrated player this year? Gotta be Max Starks. He mostly just shut down that left side, and we desperately needed that to happen. For a LT on a team with bad pass protection, I'm not too worried about his run blocking if he can do what he did this year. And that was coming off an ACL tear and little preparation. His best season ever. Way to step up.
