    Saying it’s silly to talk about is a silly thing to say when you are on a message board.

    The evidence totally backs it up, you’re just defensive of him.

    No more than you are overly critical of him, as proven by the fact that you bringing up an odd criticism of a quarterback who is no longer on the team.

    The evidence does not back it up. The ball went to Harris. He caught it. The only evidence you have is Roethlisberger's nonsense, and he has been wrong many, many times when talking about the quarterbacks who have taken his place for the Steelers. It is a take that is so bad that it makes me think Roethlisberger knows better, but just wants the attention.

    I purposely criticize him because I know it gets you worked up :lolol: Doesn’t mean what I am criticizing him for isn’t true though.

    Like you try to do to me about Willis when you pull his name out of thin air trying to insert him into the conversation. The difference is I don’t care, that and he’s better than Pickett anyway, started a couple games in place of Love this season that they won. He was always going to be a project.

    I’ve seen the video many times, doesn’t show conclusively like you claim that he was throwing to Harris. Look at the very last angle, his eyes are on Simms. Ben has a little more credibility than you, funny that you would try to dismiss his opinion. It’s fine to disagree with him but to be dismissive is silly.

    I kept thinking your media bend was ridiculous but I was sitting here thinking about society in general and there are some stupid people who will believe anything on the internet

    But Pickens is starting to look like a childish waste of skin

    I'm aware of what you are doing there, but thank you for demonstrating that you very much care about the Willis comments. I got a kick out of you claiming you don't care, then going into defending him in the very same post.

    Pickett has started and won games in the NFL, too, if you didn't forget. He started one the Eagles won this season, too.

    His eyes are on both players and the ball went to Harris, not Sims. He looked at both of his options there, but threw it where only Harris could get it. Collinsworth raved on and on about what a fantastic play that was by Pickett. He compared it to the spectacular plays Mahomes makes. He's got a lot more experience breaking down NFL films than Roethlisberger. Why are you ignoring Collinsworth's opinion?

    I wasn't entirely dismissive of Roethlisberger. I pointed out that he has been wrong quite often in a short period of time when discussing Steelers' quarterbacks. He has also demonstrated a need for attention many, many times during and after his playing career. Odd little hot takes like that one are a good way to get attention, which is why I suggested that Roethlisberger is just saying something he knows will get a reaction even though he knows better.

    No, actually you missed what I was doing there by saying Willis is better than Pickett. Which of course he is but you missed it.

    Great play by Harris, lucky play by Pickett.

    I know what you were doing there. You were defending Willis like you always do. I remember how badly you wanted the Steelers to draft him, just as the main thing I liked about the Pickett selection was that they didn't take Willis. (I wanted Linderbaum.)

    Isn't this getting to the level of trolling now?

    Harris made a nice catch there, but Pickett evaded the rush after getting immediate pressure at the snap, managed to get square on the run and lead Harris away from the defender. I think you know enough about football to realize that, but would rather just create another argument.

    Agreed until your comment about Pickens. And people do believe anything. Even though I believe in the globe, not many people can explain why earth is a globe. And that's why we see so many flat earthers.

    As for pickens, there's beat writers for the browns who straight up lie. And people here straight believe that beat writer.... and it's not just pickens. They did it with Wilson and even Fields. And then you have a ton of writers who do click bait articles really bad.
