    Well!!


    He was universally considered a Top 3 to Top 5 Prospect in the class. Very much Pro Ready as a whole. More surprised with how he is getting the job done versus what he is doing to do so.


    All in all?! Houston has their guy. AFC South isn't going to be so easy anymore. Then again, I did have the Texans as a Surprise Playoff Team... so there is that.

    The spot they may be taking is the Steelers.

    Miami or Buffalo
    Ravens
    Jags
    Chiefs

    Miami or Buffalo
    Bengals

    The last spot Steelers, Browns, Texans, Chargers - right now, the Texans have a soft schedule and own the tiebreaker vs the Steelers. Yes, the Steelers have a game lead, but the Steelers get the Bengals twice.

    Other than that, the Schedules are pretty even

    Steelers Texans
    @ Bengals @ Bengals Push
    @ Ravens vs Jags Push at best, probably tougher for the Steelers
    vs Pats @ Jets tougher for Texans
    vs Cards vs Cards Push, depending on Kyler Murray
    @ Colts @Colts Push
    vs Packers vs Broncos Push
    @ Browns vs Browns Push, but probably harder for Steelers (home/road)
    vs Bengals vs Titans Tougher for Steelers
    @ Seattle @ Titans Tougher for Steelers

    Hard to see the Steelers finishing a game better than the Texans, so the tiebreaker may come into play.

    Should have listened to me, but You never do. LoL. I said two years ago He would be the best Qb to ever come out of Ohio State. You can look it up. I wanted us not to draft a Qb, and wait till this year for Him, and do what we had to so we could get Him

    That's why today hurt so bad. I thought Mayfield finished them off as there was only 46 seconds left when Houston got the ball. I really wanted them to go to 3 and 5. Damnit.

    I never said you were always wrong....But for the 2022 draft,it was the same thing for me....I didn't want the Steelers to draft a QB in 2022 but the chances of having Stroud in 2023 were very slim unless a major trade up...As we saw last year,Tomlin never tank for a draft pick

    Neither was I. I thought he’d be another Ohio State quarterback dud. So far, looks like I’m wrong.

    I didn’t think we could get there, but Chicago didn’t get as much of a haul for the 1st pick as teams usually do to trade down that many spots. They got picks 9+61 in 2023, a 2024 1st, a 2025 2nd and DJ Moore. Carolina was 7-10. I personally don’t think we would have been that bad, but you never know. Maybe with more starts and reps Trubisky settles in better. Or maybe Rudolph takes over and we have the same record in the 2nd half of the season. No way to prove one way or the other because it didn’t happen.

    If we did get to a similar position as the Panthers, I offer something sweeter than Chicago got from the Panthers.

    Go Look it up. It's before We drafted KFP. I'm not going to lie. Everything that is said on here ....is here to be re looked at.
    I say all the time what Qbs I don't think will be good in the NFL, but I can only remember sticking My neck out saying 3 would be good in the NFL since I've been on here.
    CJ Stroud, M. Jones, and J. Burrow. So far 2 have made Me look smart, and one has made Me look really stupid.....freaking M. Jones.

    I'm not digging it up. Go look. Last time someone did this same thing about Canada....I spent the time, and dug it up to show them, and then when I proved what I had been saying.....they simply stopped talking about it, and acted like they never mentioned it. So....I will not do the footwork anymore. LoL. I learned My lesson.

    I said Burrow and Lawrence and sadly I may be right. I tell ya it's a conspiracy against the Steelers that reaches the highest levels of the NFL organization. Their fixing the damn games so when a good NCAA QB is ready the AFC teams pick first. I'm so going to enjoy Kenny Pickett blowing it all up;)
