Cooper Kupp

Third base

 

Everything has turned into a drama show. To much information in nano seconds real or not. Gotta sell the drama to keep people on the fish hook. Its comical and annoying.

 

Khan waiting for the Fools Gold that was Cooper Kupp, while the Chiefs sign D-Hop for a 5th.

Khan is dragging this team down by just being all in on 1 guy.

Congrats Khan, I see you just signed another 5th Tier WR to the Team; while everyone around you is getting better.

 

My response to this is not nice

Go Steelers

 

What

 

There is no evidence at all that Khan missed out on Hopkins because he was only focused on Kupp. None.

 

What makes you think any credible WR would choose to come to Steelers over going to win a SB with the Chiefs??

 

2nd base.

 

Agreed. There is also no evidence at all that the Steelers have a legitimate #2 wide receiver either. Can the Steelers make the playoffs without a solid #2 WR? Probably. Can they win a playoff game without one? Probably not.

 

Not over yet. There's still time to get someone. I'd be surprised (and disappointed) if we didn't do something.

 

I've been banging that drum for a long time. I think Khan has failed in that part of his job. That doesn't make Brice's claim any less ridiculous.

 

Failed is a strong statement.

I believe they were hoping Roman" Glass Joe" Wilson would have come in and contributed and made plays.

The Aiyuk nonsense. Then Kupp. D Hop? Here or KC? Common.

Kupp would have been a nice addition for a conditional 4th which could turn into a 3rd. The Rams supposably received a lot of calls but the coach debunked the rumors. RUMORS!

Throwing major draft capital for these players is not the way the Steelers do business. Especially for a rental.

There are a few still left out there somewhere in the universe. But are any better then what we have at this point?

 

Yes, there are better options than VN Jefferson. That is a low bar to clear.

Failed is the right word. Counting on a rookie taken in the third round to start immediately would be foolish. Not acquiring a veteran to replace Johnson is a failure.

Hopkins wasn’t a free agent. The Steelers could have made a better offer to the Titans.

McCay can say what he wants. That doesn’t mean the Rams weren’t considering moving Kupp before they beat the Vikings. I still think they would have traded him if they had lost to fall to 2-5.

Maybe Khan will still do something. Maybe make sure Slayton doesn’t leave after the game Monday.

 

yeah, Brice is out of touch.

we have a strong roster.

Not perfect, but strong - one of the best rosters in the league.

right player, right price.

Tomlin and Khan want to win this year, they are doing what they can to make it happen.

 

I will disagree on VJ - (I think) he will get better and better, with a real QB throwing real passes.

watch.....and revisit later in the year.....

would love another WR, may or may not happen.

right player, right price, including leveraging of the future

 

Diontae isn't an option for the Steelers, but Kirk could be.

 

This belongs in the “Players we aren’t going to sign” thread

 

Green font brother. Green font.

 

Agreed. Thinking the same. Watch how much better these receivers get with someone that can see them.

 

Nah. Stay the course. It’s a right the team. RB team. Jefferson and Austin are collectively nailing their job with their level of contribution and cost. Stay the course.

save the money for next year when the QBs cost more and less juggling and loss is required because of it.

prefer things status quo.

 

Keeping things status quo will get you beat in the first round of the playoffs.
