A diehard Steeler fan since 1965, could be my last days as a fan.

    My life as a Steeler fan could be almost over. I bit the bullet when the Steelers didn't draft homeboy Danny Marino.

    I bit the bullet when they didnt even try to draft homeboy Tony Dorsett.

    They got a WFL excuse for not getting homeboy Jim Kelly.

    Homeboy Broadway Joe Namath was only good for a few years.

    Homeboy Joe Montana would have taken very little effort to acquire.

    And homeboy Johnny Unitas - the original Johnny football - was a stiller, but ended up going to Baltimore.

    But if Melvin Gordon, RB, from WISCONSIN, is still available when the Stillers draft this year, that mistake will be last straw that stirs my drink. I know we have Bell, so what!

    :shots::cray::beg::cry::praying::beathorse::noose::frustrated: Look at me, I'm a wreck just thinking about the dumb draft decisions coming.

    IF YOU CANT SEE TALENT RIGHT IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THAT YOU EVEN KNOW TALENT WHEN YOU SEE IT.

    DON'T GET ME STARTED TALKING ABOUT ALL THE GREAT BURG TALENT THAT DID GREAT. ELSEWHERE.

    guru, do you have any clue how much depth there is in this draft at RB, and our needs on defense?! If you want another super bowl before you "bite the dust," you better hope our defense improves quickly!

    We know, you like Gordon but I hope you don't seriously believe they will draft a RB in the first.

    Who needs Defense when you run the ball down their throats and eat up clock, and score points, and make first downs.

    All we ever do is draft edge rushers, lb's, and O-lineman.
    When can we do a offensive draft.

    the steelers have been the worst drafters in the nfl in my lifetime.

    If a fan since 65, you may have noticed some HOF players drafted in the 70's.

    Anyway, have fun seeing who else you can bait with this stuff :wave:

    I have been reading this board since it was founded and never read a post that made me feel I need to register and comment before reading this one.

    You are determining if you are a future fan of a team that you have followed since 1965 and you would stop being a fan because the team does not draft a RB that you like?
    this is the stupidest thing I have read on here!

    Running Backs not an area of need for this team, while DBs and pass rushers are.
    The depth at RB in this draft means that value can be found in the midrounds.
    RB is not a premiere position in the current NFL. Just look at the trend in salaries for RBs over the past five years and you will see this is true.

    All of this when added together means Melvin Gordon will not be wearing Black-n-Gold next season. (Unless he falls to the fourth round and that won't happen).

    I would take this time to cross off the things off your Steelers bucket list if you have any. Should probably enjoy these last couple weeks with loved ones, too.

    No, what's "obvious" is that he's been pimping Gordon for weeks...

    Gurley went to my HS. His mom works with my ex-wife not far from here. If he went to the Steelers I'd have a cow.
