    You guys act like we haven’t dealt with this for 18 years.

    Why can’t we continue to improve the team via FA and the draft?

    You can build the most perfect team in the world but you aren’t winning with the Rudolphs and Haskins of the world but a franchise QB can cover up a lot of warts and you can win with him.

    Stafford had a losing record with Detroit, and the Rams gave up a lot to get him.

    Either way You aren't going 2 Win a SB without either (in most cases). Again Yes we have dealt with it....and No more SB was the outcome.
    History is showing. Have a freaking Great Team, and Bring in a Great Qb(for a shorter period)or Have a Great team,and Get a good rookie Qb, and You can have Him longer towards SBs.
    None are great team,and SB...example: Tennessee,and SF.
    None are Great Qb ,and SB....example: Rodgers, and Wilson.
    You need both. So in money, and cap wise .....it makes more sense 2 Have the team, and then pay peanuts....than 2 Get the Qb now(and hope He's the right one) and have a shorter time 2 build. JMO

    So the Rams who were just in a SB 3 years ago(or was it four)...that team with Probowlers at every position they match up with our beloved Steelers....just the Qb is all that's different????
    Is that what You are saying???

    With what draft picks if you give up 3 years worth of #1s and no cap space to do it.

    And they couldn't win the SB either 3 years ago, Goff scored three points in the SB, trade for a better QB and they win it :shrug:.

    So You agree.
    Cool :thumbs_up:
    Can't win the SB( most the time) with a great team,and a bad Qb, and can't win a SB ( most the time) with a great Qb ,and not so great team.
    Rams had it all. Pro Bowl players at every position.

    I knew what he meant, too, but he's way too experienced to be making that sort of mistake.

    Also, presenting the idea that Watson believes he is innocent as if it is fact is also problematic. What Watson believed was that he wouldn't go to trial. We have no idea if he is innocent or not. I guess it is possible that he's guilty, but is too much of an idiot to think he did anything wrong.

    No more SB’s because your boy couldnt stop throwing to the wrong team :lolol:

    But to imply they haven’t put a lot of talent around Ben in those 18 years is factually wrong. They’ve had a ton.

    We don’t know what the price would be. And it’s not like they have been hitting it out of the park with their number 1’s lately. Watt was a HR and looks like Harris will be. Lot to be desired about the rest in recent years.

    In the end it's only going to be a matter of public opinions and narratives.

    If he beats the civil cases, some people will think he's guilty and some people will think he's innocent.

    If he settles the civil cases, some people will think he's guiltily and some people will think he's innocent.

    He's either a predator or a victim, but we'll never know with 100% certainty.

    Last 5 first rounders

    2021 Najee (24)
    2020 (Minkah) (18)
    2019 Bush (10)
    2018 Edmunds (28)
    2017 Watt (30)

    I think that's a pretty good 5 years except for the only time they drafted top 10

    I agree. That is why I have such a problem with a reporter implying that the truth came out Friday.

    This all assumes that any behavior that led to the allegations stops.

    It only stopped because his actions came out in public, how long do you think he will stop...... Maybe the NFL makes him one of those sexual rehab classes... lol

    Only time will tell, but he'll no longer be afforded the benefit of the doubt.


    I don't think any truth will be found, and that reporter was definitely reckless for implying it.

    22 women accusing Watson of sexual assault during massages and I recall reading about 18 women who wrote letters saying Watson acted professionally during massages.

    Hopefully people get their day in court.

    Well, that would be one less team likely to take Willis.

    I say that because I slowly find myself wanting the Steelers to take Willis. I'm not sure how it happened, but lately I have been buying into the hype. Maybe I am like the guy who watches one too many Dyson commercials and ends up buying a sweeper.
