    Yeah I just don't see how if he stays on the roster they make a former #1 pick a back up. IMO if he's not good enough to start they should move on. You know if he signs a contract here he's gonna start

    No inside source. That's why I used the word doubt and not the word guarantee.

    I could cite some examples where #1 picks have lost their starting jobs. You do make a good point though. He might not be open to a back up role.

    Fair enough. At the end of the day we both want what's best for the team I'm sure.

    Addressing that the Steelers have not fired anyone in 50 years......years ago, wasn't Ray Sherman going to be fired had he not resigned first? I realize that means they did not fire him, but also that it was going to happen. So it's not a policy.

    This is complete nonsense. Steelers have fired Tim Lewis, several ST coaches, the original OL coach under Tomlin, Kevin Gilbride, etc.

    That's exactly what Alvin Bud Dupree is. He is NOT worth 5 to 6 a year, he is a large part of why this defense is putrid. An upgrade needs to be on the other side of Watt or the results will be the same.

    I'm kind of tired of hiring Ex-Steeler Coaches. It just makes us look stupid when we have to get rid of them.

    I'm also tired of Ex-Steelers working in the media.

    Exactly... just because you were an ex-Steeler and you might have been a good player, doesn't make you a good coach.

    And then when it comes time to fire their A$$ there is only going to be bad blood.

    I may be wrong' but I think they can still do an extension to alleviate that cap hit.
    Also It's nice to know I'm renting space in your head.

    Yep I do believe they can but today it becomes guaranteed against injury. However like what was stated before no way he takes less when he can play one year at 9 mil then cash in next year in fa. That is a no brainer......

    As for you renting space in my head don't flatter yourself, I am just taking a page out of your book when you like to point out when someone is wrong. How does it feel...............

    I’m actually not wrong yet. He may still get that extension. Time will tell.
    As for the rent part I’m not flattered at all, but I’m definitely inside your head. Not that I want to be though. That’s something on your end.

    Well as of 4pm yesterday the contract became guaranteed vs injury so you are wrong for now and I am not 100% if it can or can't be negotiated.

    You have an affection for my head is there something I should know??? Like I said you are quick to point out the rights and wrong(in your mind) on this board so I am just doing the same when it comes to TSF wanna be mod. :smiley1:
