    So that’s how it goes with you all, define a man’s whole character by their worst play? One mistake? Do you judge yourselves that way as well?

    The poster said they had a history of selfish behavior, you run behind and name one incident each as if that proves the point. It doesn’t.

    You didn’t answer the question either. Why is it so easy for you to personally insult players on the team that you supposedly root for? That’s pretty dickish to me.
    Exactly. The same crowd that tries to discredit Tomlin for the postseason drought since the last SB want to conveniently give the HOF qb a pass.
    Probably the same amount of times that it’ll take me saying that nothing Canada did outside of his time with the Steelers is relevant to my point, before it sinks in your thick head. You can keep arguing with yourself about what happened at LSU or whatever else all you want though. This will be the same reply.

    I’ve said repeatedly that the only defense I give of Canada is that he was saddled with inept qb play that missed open receivers every game and we never saw his offense executed at a truly competent level. You can’t deal with that fact so you want to deflect to Canada’s time with LSU. I’m not entertaining that.

    I never called everyone who wanted Canada gone a sheep. So this is just another lie that you’re telling. Here’s all I said.
    You’re just trying to save face, I get it. Next time just watch your tone.

    Wow, you’re surprised to see a 22 year old young guy show immaturity? What’ll you be surprised with next, the sun rising again in the morning?

    Where’s the history of selfishness with George though? Where the history of selfishness and immaturity from DJ?

    I don’t deny that these guys aren’t perfect and have made mistakes. I do dispute you assassinating their character and labeling as you have based 1-2 mistakes and all because they prefer a qb that you don’t.
    Facts aren’t refuted genius, that’s why they’re called “facts”.

    Of course you look forward to me replies, what else you got? I guess this is how you get to 25k posts. Troll the site everyday running around being obnoxious, sniping at posters with sassy little quips. Whatever keeps you going I guess.

    @Lloyd&Green stop group quoting me, makes it difficult to respond.

    What a clownish response, fans can’t call out bad behavior? I citied one example, I can cite more, do you even watch games. Thats twice I gave examples to things you have said that were wrong and you respond by being a child. I’ve watched you be a dick to many members here, thats against the rules, you know what isn’t against the rules? Insulting players. Don’t be a jerk.

    No one outside of Johnson said they want Rudolph to start. If Canadas coaching wasn’t holding Pickett back then that will come to light this season but it clearly was a huge part of the problem as evident of him being fired. That just doesn’t happen in the Steelers world.

    Supporting a player is not the same as stating which one you want. I can dig up plenty of quotes supporting Pickett. Thats what good teammates do.

    No. It’s your choice if you respond or not. I suspect that many things are difficult for you.

    I didn’t come out against fans calling out bad behavior. I questioned why fans would seek to assassinate the character of players on the team they root for. I spoke in plain English, not sure why you’ve failed to comprehend.

    You’ve given no examples of things that I’ve said that are wrong. Your isolated examples of those guys making mistakes doesn’t justify saying they have a history of selfish behavior.

    “I had coulda cited more”

    You didn’t though.


    Ive only matched the energy that I’ve been greeted with. It’s fine that you want to lie and pretend that I’m going around harassing folk but the posts are still here for anyone to see how this exchange began and has progressed.

    I think you’re a dick, a liar , and a complete clown if you think that you’re going to insult me and not be insulted back.

    “It’s against the rules to be a dick to member bit not for members to insult players”

    And there you go. You people can dish it but can’t take it. It’s all good. Do whatever you feel, but I’m going to continue matching the energy that I’m met with.
    Not as cute as your relentless attempts at battles of wit even when you’re completely unarmed.

    Bye bye.

    The only liar here is you because you don’t match the energy that you’re greeted with you go on the offensive without being provoked. Know how I know? Besides witnessing it over and over? Because of how you are behaving like an as$hole towards me when I didn’t say anything to you prior to warrant being attacked. Then when I pushed back you played victim, typical of little boys.

    You have no understanding of the X’s and O’s portion of the game so you have a rudimentary understanding of coaching and the impact it has on the game and then insult anyone that disagrees with you. And this complete homer thing you have going on with not insulting players, you couldnt be any more of a moron.

    Go find another board to pollute with your bs.

    He only lasted that long because he didn’t post much until recently. Probably was booted off from another board and started posting here more.

    Completely abrasive prick :butcher:

    At Steelers Fever, I would simply post a gif of a red flashing light when someone was having a bit of a meltdown.

    [​IMG]

    The other method of making light of the situation would be to post pictures of a DEFCON board. As the situation heated up, the number on the board would change. When it hit DEFCON 1, it was over! I can't find the pictures I used to use, but this is the idea.

    Ahhhhh....good times! :lolol:

    I didn’t really notice him much until he accused anyone who was ready to move on from Tomlin of having hidden agendas and ulterior motives.

    Yeah, that was another one of his goto moves, guy was full of ****. Another one is he would constantly attack people and claim he was just returning the same energy.

    This goes back to them being selfish and immature. People like that tend to be shortsighted and they certainly don't know more about it than the front office and head coach, who saw that Canada needed to go. Remember how out of character it is for the Steelers to fire a coordinator during a season. They hadn't done it since the bad old days when the Steelers were a joke, before Dan Rooney took over the day-to-day operations and they hired Chuck Noll. I'm not saying it is all on Canada, but it is certainly fair to drop a big chunk of the blame on his doorstep.

    Put the play Johnson showed his selfishness and immaturity in full context. The play before, Pickett had thrown a touchdown pass to him. The offense was looking good. Johnson opened the door for the officials to blow the call by letting the ball come loose late. It was still a bad call, but it was his fault, too. Instead of taking responsibility and trying hard to do something positive on the next play, he stood there and pouted. That's not on Pickett. That's on Johnson.

    I don’t think he believes in accountability. He was making excuses for them because of their age. Johnson is 27 :facepalm:

    What I find funny is how some of the same people that think a guy like DJ is immature and just needs a chance to grow up and gain some perspective on how to be a better teammate and player also think Kenny Pickett sucks ass and will never get even the slightest bit better because he is 25 already playing the most difficult position in all of sports!

    We all know that quarterbacks can't develop and get better over time.....except Mason Rudolph! :smiley1:

    Ok, OK, OK, What the hell is going on with Kirk Cousins Market Value. I am seeing estimated new contract of 3 years for $120 million as his 2024 estimate.

    Cousins is 35 and coming off an ACL injury. And is still being forecast at $40 million per year? (39.3)
    Ryan Tannehill has a Market Value under $5 million per year. (4.9)
    And there is no Market Value on Mason Rudolph.
    2024 NFL Free Agents Tracker | Spotrac

    Cousins and Tannehill are the same age at 35, both players were injured in 2023, but why did Cousins value hold, and Tannehill's value drop through the floor? In 2023 Tannehill was set down for a high ankle sprain, and Cousins set down for a torn ACL.
