The lethal combination of Tomlin and Rooney

Please!

I don't put people on ignore in a special interest forum. It disrupts the flow of the threads and that's not fair to everybody else.

But feel free to add me to your list if you wish.

 

For the hundredth time...Cowher didn't think Ben would make it to pick #11.

 

You have been here like a week, go sit in the corner until spoken to . You haven't been here long enough to run your big mouth with bad takes.

 

Could you please put me on ignore?

ETA: You have been here 14 years and I don't know if you started out as a complete jack-wagon or if you have methodically worked up to it.

 

Wrong, Dan had to step in or Cowher would've drafted an OL .

 

Cowher wanted Shawn Andrews who the Eagles drafted at #16 .

 

This fact does not match some people’s narrative

Cowher has cleared this misconception

 

No this is not correct

If Ben was available he wanted Ben if not he wanted the OT if available

Cowher has cleared this up

Stop posting lies

 

You obviously don't have a good memory .

 

Exactly. Cowher confirmed this on Ben's show/podcast when Cowher was a guest.

 

You're obviously full of sh!t.

 

He can't help himself, he lives in his own mind which is why he is so lonely.

 

Ask him for proof

There is none

Some try to twist a quote from Dan Rooney but that is just to fit their narrative

 

In Dan's autobiography he steered them to Ben, because they didn't want to make the same mistake as they did in 1983 with Marino.

 

And he confirmed it in his book

 

Yes some people such as yourself misinterpret this to make it fit your bs

That's my take as well Cowher is going to say it was always Ben for him now, because it would be a bad look if he wanted to go in another direction. There was a lot of smoke that Cowher liked Andrews.

 

Exactly where does Dan say they were going to take an OL

Exactly where does this contradict Cowher

I’ve explained this before

Are you calling Cowher a liar

And I told Mr. Rooney, ‘Listen, we’re gonna take a lineman, but if one of these quarterbacks gets to us, we’re taking them because they’re too good.’
