A diehard Steeler fan since 1965, could be my last days as a fan.

My life as a Steeler fan could be almost over. I bit the bullet when the Steelers didn't draft homeboy Danny Marino.

I bit the bullet when they didnt even try to draft homeboy Tony Dorsett.

They got a WFL excuse for not getting homeboy Jim Kelly.

Homeboy Broadway Joe Namath was only good for a few years.

Homeboy Joe Montana would have taken very little effort to acquire.

And homeboy Johnny Unitas - the original Johnny football - was a stiller, but ended up going to Baltimore.

But if Melvin Gordon, RB, from WISCONSIN, is still available when the Stillers draft this year, that mistake will be last straw that stirs my drink. I know we have Bell, so what!

:shots:raying: Look at me, I'm a wreck just thinking about the dumb draft decisions coming.

 

IF YOU CANT SEE TALENT RIGHT IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THAT YOU EVEN KNOW TALENT WHEN YOU SEE IT.

DON'T GET ME STARTED TALKING ABOUT ALL THE GREAT BURG TALENT THAT DID GREAT. ELSEWHERE.

 

guru, do you have any clue how much depth there is in this draft at RB, and our needs on defense?! If you want another super bowl before you "bite the dust," you better hope our defense improves quickly!

 

And if they go RB in 1st round, they need to getting Gurley

 

Who needs Defense when you run the ball down their throats and eat up clock, and score points, and make first downs.

All we ever do is draft edge rushers, lb's, and O-lineman.
When can we do a offensive draft.

the steelers have been the worst drafters in the nfl in my lifetime.

 

Any credibility you could have ever had....gone

 

I have been reading this board since it was founded and never read a post that made me feel I need to register and comment before reading this one.

You are determining if you are a future fan of a team that you have followed since 1965 and you would stop being a fan because the team does not draft a RB that you like?
this is the stupidest thing I have read on here!

Running Backs not an area of need for this team, while DBs and pass rushers are.
The depth at RB in this draft means that value can be found in the midrounds.
RB is not a premiere position in the current NFL. Just look at the trend in salaries for RBs over the past five years and you will see this is true.

All of this when added together means Melvin Gordon will not be wearing Black-n-Gold next season. (Unless he falls to the fourth round and that won't happen).

 

He's obviously being obtuse on purpose.

 

No, what's "obvious" is that he's been pimping Gordon for weeks...

 

lol

 

I thought a fan was a fan of the team and ITS players. no matter who they are. I could care less who they pass on. I just love the guys they get cause they will be PITTSBURGH STEELERS. bottom line

 

I'm just glad the OP isn't dying, which is what I thought this thread was going to be about when I saw the title...

 

Gurley went to my HS. His mom works with my ex-wife not far from here. If he went to the Steelers I'd have a cow.

Welcome aboard!!!!!

Now don't be a stranger, ya hear!!

Can Gordon play corner?

 

Don't hold your breath on that one...heh

 

I just hope Gordon doesn't have to go against that Ohio State defense.

 

Can you let me know what you have for memorabilia, since you won't be a fan anymore cause there is no chance at Gordon in the 1st I may be interested...........anyone else want anything????? lol
