mike adams

So, having the franchise quarterback accused of strong-arm rape in the cramped bathroom of a bar in Georgia doesn't bother you as much as the Mike Adams' prior use of marijuana? I guess we all have a different calculus for embarrassment.

 

Here is what I think...

This dick head better not be our leader in 2013!!!!!! Guy is a total dick!!!!!!!

 

Then go cheer for some other team. Judgmental types like yourself will not be missed

 

Sorry TTF....I know better than that.....Im not a big G.W. fan but ................

 

I was just going to type this...you must be drinking hahah...

 

Wow...some people and dumb crap they say. Go cheer for the Bengals or something...we dont need ya here with that attitude.

 

Very well said JD

 

Re: Mike Adams Met Our "Stipulations"????

1. Heard counseling. Maybe he has to take more random drug tests. Or something i dunno.

2. Depending where he lives he either drove or flew there and went through what they needed him to do.

 

I'll take my chances with a pot head if it means that we'll finally be able to stop Suggs. We could potentially have the best OL in the league for the next 10 years if everything falls into place. Gilbert, DeCastro, Pouncey, Adams...Young Money Crew!

 

I agree, give him a chance BUT I live in DC and the Skins had two key players suspended the last part of the season for testing positive for MJ. It won't do us any good if Adams isn't on the field.

 

i heard he told them to keep his signing bonus for two years to show he's sincere about what he told them.

 

That seems like quite an overreaction. For me that moment was all the allegations against Ben. I'm a big fan of Ben, but that was absolutely embarrassing as a fan.

 

I think yoy're right, BFT (and others), to point out that there's a lot of inconsistencies about people's attitudes to the issue. If this is the only reason he dropped, then we've got a steal.

A kid smoking weed in college is not exactly the rarest thing in the world, and not exactly a case for captial punishment.

As with every kid coming out of college, it will be a case of how he makes the transition to the pros. And where better than Pittsburgh?

 

I think KC reminds me of my own pops, At 9:38 of the video KC says and repeatably doses so after that "we are comfortable with this situation" . Yeah Mike proly F**ed up his chances at bigger money but the fact that he "wanted"to be a steeler and sought out the Rooneys and the couching staff is a big plus. I bet this kid out plays De Castro given the chance. underdog feel good story "as small as it is in the making" I bet that kid saw he F**ed up wanted to be a steeler and was projected that way went and saw "daddy" and will be a great team player for us. I remember talking to daddy when i "f**ed up in my major life turning events. Kids will be kids ....they need to mature that's why there is a coaching staff....

 

He met with them at his request because he wanted to play for the Steelers so badly and wanted them to know it. That and his ability makes him a worthy gamble, perhaps maybe even less risky than those that haven't been caught but were drafted above him. It's all up to him at this point. Give the kid a break.

I like this pick!

Got to go, got the munchies.
I KID I KID TAKE IT EASY!

 

Don't like the pick, Bench pressed 19 reps? Steelers could have done better.

 

first round draft grade that far in the 2ond ? the value is there like him or not he'll be a stud i hope ...............though i was wrong about Sweed....

 

Agree and im way drunk by this point but as you said it"ll be on "daddy" Adams has PLENTY to grow up on. lots of boom plenty of Smoke on the water. but its in the books so lets hope for the boom...

 

The kid will be fine..I just hope he can play at a high level..I would say 70 % of the draft smokes or has smoked weed or did other illegal drugs.....Really no big deal to me as that was in his College career and now that career is over......The guy starts with a clean slate in my book so I want to see him come in and play at a high level....

 

Stop comparing this dude to holmes. The big difference is that adam took accountability for his actions. He didn't tweet wake and bake the off season after being arrested right before the playoffs. Dude messed up owned it did whatever he could to fix it. The mistakes make the man. If he meant what he said in his letter to the teams it shows growth. I'm not woried about mistakes as long as he learned from it and grows from it.

 

Personally, I think his meeting with the FO and Tomlin to express his desire to play for the Steelers, along with his willingness to prove it by taking a hit in his wallet make him a good pick. The Steelers taking the risk on him may be a tremendous motivator and cause him to work hard and come to camp ready to take over the starting LT position. He's got plenty of time to work with the coaching staff on his weaknesses.

We're working toward having a REALLY good O-line. Chances are picks 1 and 2 along with Pouncey will make the guys around them better. Maybe Ben makes it through a season without injuring some part of his legs.
