Zach Frazier- Next Steeler HOF Center in the Making

Not declaring him a HOFer BUT really wanted to bring attention to the fact we HAVE found our Next Center for the next Decade and his play, and possibly his/our future with Him!!

Cajun

 

yes, he is Yr. 1 in the making, NO DOUBT!

 

He has been outstanding, I never thought that he would fall to us in the second round but thank goodness he did.

 

Frazier reminds me of Jeff Hartings who was a damn good center for the Steelers.

 

Steelers sure know how to draft Centers.

 

That guy from Illinois was a find! lol, Well can;t be 100%, so let's pretend it did not happen.

 

In the SB era we mostly kicked ass in that area.

 

I was just messing with it, but totally agree,

 

I guess, but Frazier could be better.

 

I had him as a Top 25 player for a reason. Hell, had he not broken his leg, both he and Graham Barton are legit Top 20 picks in their class. His peeformance since being interested into the lineup has not shocked me in the slightest.


Zach Frazier is exactly what this team needs; a Pro Bowl Caliber Center who is both the anchor along with being the bedrock of the Offensive Line. Among all Offensive Players not named Russell Wilson, I had stated, still state and shall continue to state for the rest the season that Zach Frazier is the most important player on the Offense.


Ryan McCollum is very good depth but only an okay starter. Frazier has Pro Bowl to Perennial All Pro talent. Taking such a player in Round 2?!


I think 20+ NFL Teams would love to have that problem.

 

our #2 pick and our #4 pick are as solid as they come.

 

Jeez.... he's a rookie. I give him a pass for learning to play in the NFL.... and he's way better than Kendrick Greene. Broderick Jones is the one who needs to be better. How many points has Jones removed from the scoreboard this year?

 

Sorry, i could have been clearer. I didn't mean that as a criticism of Frazier. I can't remember the last time I was as excited about a draft pick by the Steelers as I was to see them get Frazier, and he has been every bit as good as I hoped as a rookie. When I said better, I meant that he could end up being better than Hartings. I think Frazier has more upside.

 

He was pretty much plug and play, and will only get better barring serious injury.

 

That's how I read it the 1st time.
Like You thought Frazier could be better in the long-term than Hardings

 

Lets not forget that Broderick Jones' level of experience coming out of Georgia vs Zach Fraziers experience coming out of West Virginia is comparing a height of an apartment building to the height of Mt. Everest. Vast difference in terms of technique and skill. How vast are we talking?!


Zach Frazier started 46 out of 47 possible games at West Virginia. Compare that to Broderick Jones. Of the 33 games he played in at Georgia, he only started 19. In addition, he only had one full year of starting experience coming out od Georgia.


Remember how both Tomlin and Khan referred to BroJo as a "Diaper Dandy"?! That was not a shot at Brdoericks talent and potential. That was an accurate assessment of his inexperience.


In short?! As I have been saying man. What you are seeing from Zach Frazier is abnornal. Dan Moore actually had more starting experience than BroJo did (36 games started and 38 games played) but still struggled out of the gate. It takes at least three seasons for Lineman of either side of the football to "get it". Hell, even Cameron Heyward needed time; his development actually being a good example of how to develop IDLs as toosly and gifted as he was.



Give Broderick Jones some time. He will come around no doubt. It will happen sooner rather than later.
