Ridley better than Connor

LOL. wait until he fumbles. Trust me you'l take a few less yards per carry for possession.

 

Looks like 3.3 per attempt.

 

Thanks and damn I shouldn’t post without glasses.

 

Ridley’s YPC has subsided every year since his rookie season with the Pats!There is a reason he has been with so many teams!Connor is just a newbie!Lets wait a little on that call!!

 

Didn’t know homie!

 

I was wondering when we got him cause I know he wasn’t on the roster at the beginning of the year. Well he’s there and hopefully can showcase himself like that against teams in the playoffs!

 

No worries, now you're caught up. Wasn't meaning to mess with you at all. Hard to keep up with all that rolls on in this league. They're handling it well as they can. Let's goooooooooooo

 

I got you no biggy we’re both on the message board because we love the Steelers!

 

Your right about that cause I had know idea we had Ridley. Of course it makes sense now with the thinking of the Conner injury. I’m very surprised that he wasn’t with a team. He was good with NE, but got in the doghouse with Belicheat and was gone. Hopefully we can benefit from an ex Pats player like the Pats benefited from an ex Steeler player today, with Harrison getting two sacks. One being a strip sack. It’s like where was that at for us this year?

 

Not going to make the comparison between the two, but IMO I was never that impressed with Connor. In the games he's carried in this season, he seemed to be a non-evasive, downhill runner. Great if you can get that first big hole and break away, but that doesn't happen all the time. Time will tell.

 

And gets to stick it to his ex team, the Cheatriots in the not too distant future.

 

Could have got Connor in the 6th Rd, can't catch, can't block , slow , not elusive . I get he has a great story and stuff tho and that's probably why he got drafted high

 

You do have a point there. That’s the reason the Pats let him go, but you can’t ignore the fact that he’s a good running back.

 

OH MY GOD!!!!

 

Connor would have been long gone by the sixth round. Your scouting skills leave a great deal to be desired.

Connor does need to improve his blocking. He has showed burst and power and he was able to make plays as a receiver at Pitt. He hasn't had much of a chance yet with the Steelers.

 

Damn. My bad (and many others' bad, but definitely mine)

 

Ridley is OK but has a bad history of fumbling ...Patriot fans know all about this

 

Conner never received the necessary touches this year to even get in a rythem of how

he could play. He can play just need more opurtunities.

 

Nice that someone watches football... Ridley loses the ball easy.

 

Finney rocks...

 

Our running backs have saved the world from the machines, a voracious alien and a season-ending groin injury. Weird.

 

It's not about whether Ridley is better than Conner. Conner is injured and not on the active roster. Going into the playoffs, Ridley is the primary back up to LBell. We need him to give Bell some rest as well as to take over should something else happen. As a Steeler fan, we can route for both Ridley and Conner. Ridley now in the playoffs, Conner in the future.

 

i like conner but it seems like every time he carries the ball he comes up gimpy. i said that all year. i wouldn't be surprised if we draft one again.
