    What I am is a 50 year old man who is/was a sports fan in general. Originally a rams n packers fan. But I came here because I fully expect this team to be one of the l at 4 standing and fans and social media is a fantastic thing...and yes,I was a cappelletti therefore a penn,state fan

    I say done even bother with Vick. Through Jones in there for now, and to keep up with the "Berger" tradition, trade for Zack Mettenberger with a couple of our extra receivers. Then next year Jones and Mettenberger can batte to see who replaces "Glass Gradkowski" permantly. :thumbs_up:

    Can I just ask what mystique you talk about. The Steelers way is something really over blown by the fans and I'm sorry but it is. You can run of a list of players that have been in trouble and I mean a lot of trouble and players who did stupid things. Lambert used to get in a bar fight a week lol OK that might be stretching it but still. The Steelers way is you build from with in, no one player is bigger then the team, I would say they give no third chances but they do second, you pay your players very well, its a family before an organization, and you play hard nose physical football.

    The organization has a special bond with the city and its fans.. Probably the only other team with the same kind of bond is the Packers. They turned their backs on everyone who supports the team. Completely unnecessary for a washed up backup QB. There are plenty of teams who passed on Vick because of his past. Apparently we are too desperate and willing to let Tomlin hook up his "boy"

    Gotcha. Fans of other teams are welcome here, but can only post in the other team forums. Sorry about that.

    Welp, Vick hasn't been signed yet. He's going to have a workout with Tomlin this evening. Sounds like Bruce will go to season ending IR.

    OK I see what you are saying there and actually did mean to add something along those lines but a lot of fans were highly upset with them keeping Ben but eventually got over it. Come next year Vick will be gone and all will be forgotten. Hell if they win #7 this year all will probably be forgotten on the spot.

    Can someone please remind Tomlin this isn't the Newport News Steelers... Pittsburgh doesn't want his piece of **** buddies on the team.

    Then Vick is all but signed.

    Personally, I would rather he wasn't a Steeler. Forgive but can't forget.

    But - and this hurts to say - we need him. Who else are we gonna get short notice? He has to be as serviceable as Batch was.

    I'm upset it came to this. But I'm moving forward.

    We need help at safety... Maybe Vick and Tomlin can bond together and break their boy Darren Sharper out of jail.

    I don't understand why it's Vick.

    At this point no one can come in and be noticeably any better than Jones, so why risk the backlash with Vick? Even bringing the guy in for a visit creates chaos.

    Just roll with Landry. We've stuck with him for 3 years now so let's just make him the temp #2. He may not be as physically gifted as a 34-year old Vick, but his intangibles have to be much better at this point. He has much more time in the system and is a known commodity. Make him #2 and sign some other scrub to be the 3rd QB for the rest of the preseason. At least with Jones it'll only be a failure on the field. Vick is a failure all around!

    Just may be another one of these head scratching moves that have been made in the past few years. Sometimes this team trusts veterans to a fault.

    Well then I can just say I'm a steelers fan then. This isn't important business just sports talk but I want to be where the fun is, not a secondary section where nobody looks. . And Vick is a general nfl topic no matter where he plays. I didn't come to just read stuff. I'm knowledgeable about the nfl in general so as long as I don't raise hell let me comment. Sports is entertainment, not important official business .

    Editors note- I use to belong in a cult so guess I really hate being told where to go or what to do LOL

    But like I said, I expect this team to be in the final 4
