    Listening to Gruden talking about NFL QB prospects is the same as listening to AC/DC. The have a bunch of great songs but they are all the same.

    I wonder if (1) there are any of these videos where he does a prospect and doesn't come across as very positive and (2) if there are some interviews like this that he doesn't publish because the results would have been negative and there's some agreement with prospects that they get veto power on publishing or something.

    But I've only watched the one on Howard. So I don't know if that's representative.

    I'm more partial to the Bon Scott era of AC/DC... but they did have some good songs from 1980 to 90's.

    I never understood knocking a band for keeping its sound. How many have crashed and burned trying to reinvent themselves. AC/DC has stayed relevant all this time.

    I agree, I like Bon better but Johnson did a good job taking over.

    I saw the Thunderstruck tour back in 89 or 90 and it was great. Only time I ever saw them live.
    I imagine though, Gruden talking about Simpson is probably the exact same as when he was talking about Howard. An All Praise fluff piece. I would rather the Steelers see what we have with Will Howard before reaching for another QB. Taking a QB in the 3rd round or later I have no problem with but leave the first two rounds for the needs of this team in the trenches or maybe a can’t miss WR that falls into our lap.

    Agree 100%. Howard, Rudolph and later 2nd or 3rd day draft pick at QB.

    There's not many bands who can change their sound and get away with it. Metallica did a nice job of going with shorter, leaner, less progressive songs on Black, Load, ReLoad and St Anger albums... much to my chagrin. They gained fans... didn't lose many. Likewise with Radiohead with synth-rock Kid A and Amnesiac... total 180 from the alt rock with previous The Bends and OK Computer albums. They didn't lose any fans either... probably gained many more. Ministry was another band who went from Pop Alt Synth like Depeche Mode in the 80's to Industrial Metal in the 90's... and became more successful. David Bowie and Prince changed up their sound quite a bit through their careers.
