    I say four years. He’s 36 now, probably doesn't happen until he is 40. I’m looking forward to it though, seems like an impressive young man.

    He spearheaded two recent huge successes with the Dublin game and the draft.

    I was speculating there may be some correlation between this and MM getting a 5 year contract :shrug:

    He is not vice president of player personnel

    That is his uncle or something Dan Rooney Jr

    He is Director of Business Development and Strategy

    Does the Rooney family simply rotate the names "Art" and "Dan" for every male baby that is born?:shrug:

    When?!


    I am with @jeh1856@jeh1856. That five year window for Mike wasn't just for the sake of "finding the next QB" as AR II stated but more than likely it for AR II as the Owner. DMR has worked himself up the ranks in multiple fields and understands more on how the modern world works; both from a Football Perspective along with the business perspective. Gonna be interesting for certain.


    In the meantime?! Have to wait to see how it all plays out.

    It crossed my mind they aren’t very original

    On a side note 9 teammates named their kids after Nolan Ryan

    Even my dogs don’t like me that much

    Can't come soon enough if you watch this brutal take.

    Not for the faint of heart....

    Jags loss was the writing on the wall. Been bad decisions after bad decisions since.

    Who knew that one of Pittsburghs greatest enemies would be the beginning of the end for Mike Tomlin. Losing Shazier sure as hell didnt help.
