Khan's black eye. Give me DJ as WR #1, and being on the clock at #20 with all CBs still available.

IMO always has been and always will be won in the trenches.

 

?!

How does Khan have a black eye again regarding all of this?!

Again, NFL Trade Discussions can take weeks, if not months. Who knows what the initial deal was with San Fran had San Fran elected to pull off the trade. For that matter, I still wouldn't say this talk of trading for a WR is completed. Remember the NFL Trade Deadline is set for November 5th; a very good starting point for teams who are beginning to separate themselves from others.


Even though the Steelers history of in season trades for big names is extremely rare, Minkah being the literal only exception in the last 50 years, I wouldn't rule out that possibility.

 

Would they be better in theory with DJ. Probably. To me the difference is marginal. They might lose a game or two by less than a possession instead of two. Some people seem to think we lost an Adams, a Lamb or a Diggs. Johnson would be noticeable on a great team. In my opinion, he is not the difference maker some feel he is. His attitude needed to be shipped out of here.

 

Exactly

Now some of his rankings were due to terrible qb play it should be abundantly clear he caused issues in the locker room. Everyone remember him watching a live ball on the ground? Kahn did exactly what had to be done.

 

LoL. You know Me and CBs....so You know my answer.

 

What You are not factoring in is the Qbs. If Wilson has something left we will be fine. If not....well....,I will always believe the the Qb is responsible for 97% of Wrs, and how they look. Hell history has shown this....., and before anyone starts pointing out a few wrs.....I said 97% not ....100%. There are some Wrs that look good no matter who is the Qb.

 

Qb’s are responsible for getting them the ball. Why they get credit for what is done after a catch is made is beyond me.

qb throws a screen to a running back who in turn proceeds to take it 90 yards for a touchdown and the qb gets credit for a 90 yard completion and a touchdown. wtf? The pass didn’t even cross the line of scrimmage

 

Yes ....LoL. Although the Rb does get credit also.
The thing I'm talking about is throwing a catchable ball. Dang every time I spell that out the spell check keeps wanting to change it. Am I spelling that wrong???
LoL.
How many times do you see a Qb throw a ball behind a wr, and then they blame the Wrs??? I see it all the time, and I'm like throw a better ball, and He can get yac.

 

Couldn't agree more on your take of Round #1. I have been saying it ad nauseum, there is no way I take TF in the first with the entire group of CB left on the board. We had the pick of the litter. Heck, TF didn't even protect his QBs blindside. That tackle went in Round 2 to the rats.

 

This,..
You are so good you get a bonus

 

a 30 million dollar wr is a luxury item for a team that is ready to win now. The steelers do not have a franchise qb in an era when you need one to win playoff games. Our d line needs help, the wr room is extremely thin, the o line could be the worst in the league this year so giving up draft capital and 30 million was a dumb move anyway.

 

Fautanu may have some struggles this season. He may be awesome. I'll wait until year 3 to grade the pick.

 

correct - we have hashed this out for 4 months now. nothing new. DJ was average - always WAS and was messed up b/t the ears.

Wilson is the replacement. a shame he got hurt in camp.

a shame many got banged up in camp.

get over it people.

players move on - or are moved on.

and we got a darn good CB in process, a NEED.

 

it is a childish post.
Wilson may be a STUD. we .... will .... see.

 

And somehow there are posters who still think we should of kept him

Hmmm

 

Didn't he go a full year without a TD catch after being paid like one of the better receivers? I think many will be surprised by our receiving group this year. Spread the ball to wrs, rbs and tes. Plenty of guys to defend.

 

Not sure exactly how important WR is to all teams.

I've read some information from very very highly touted experts claiming

We're a running team DAMMIT.

 

There was also the game the season before when Tribs was benched for Pickett’s first game at the half. I think he threw a tantrum after not getting his foot down in the endzone.

 

I've said this before, we're a George Pickens injury away from opposing defenses packing the box and rolling the dice with their CBs being on an island with Van Jefferson or their LBs effectively single covering Muth.

 

DJ needed cut if he could not be traded at least the hit something for him potentially a starting CB

A CB in the draft was a need but so was a tackle let’s talk again in 2 years

Other than not excessively over paying for a FA WR Kahn has done well

Mason is a back up QB we don’t need another one

Other than that I agree with you

 

Guess will never know until he actually plays with a decent QB.

 

Yes, that was the season I was tied with him for TD catches… except he got paid, but I had to pay for NFL package - it was just not fair.

 

I will be watching and grading Khan on how well DJ plays in Carolina, and How well Quniyon Mitchell play in Philadelphia. I expect DJ to be over 1,000 yards even with Byce Young throwing him the ball, and I expect Mitchell to move to starting CB this season.

I expected DJ to stay here and play on his $18 million Cap cost; instead he is in Carolina and we are eating $6 million in dead cap space for him this year. The Steelers only saved $12 million by getting rid of DJ, and bringing in NOBODY to replace him!
