    Pittsburgh ain't the only place he played so you cant just use Pittsburgh.

    So by your logic I can say emmaunel sanders is better than AB because he proved ben didnt make him by having more success elsewhere than with ben right?

    I wasn't the only one confused.







    "Video of the hit quickly filled social media, which can be seen below. No flag flew on the play, but the Steelers drove for a touchdown to take a 20-17 lead."

    "There was no flag on the play. Several players appeared to be trying to shake Rudolph awake, and JuJu Smith-Schuster was spotted getting emotional on the field."

    He does have a superbowl ring and a job so I am going to lean towards yes, yes he is better than AB.

    Maybe @FootballAnalyst98@FootballAnalyst98 can watch this and stop defending Thomas and the play. :facepalm:

    Thomas saying he never intended to injure someone, then why are you going all out to make that play? You know it's a QB and that he hasn't advanced the ball passed the los so he isn't a runner. Taking off after him and lowering the crown of your helmet is clear evidence he was trying to do exactly what he did. Trying not to hit him would have been coming in lower and getting his chest or jumping up to bat the ball and having your arms hit his head. That was a goodnight hit and Earl Thomas took it. Should have been ejected.

    I don't blame you. It was very easy to miss. I thought there had been a call but I had to check the play by play to make sure as they definitely glossed over it.

    He seems to defend things based on the player, not the play. I probably do the same thing from time to time.

    And edelman has 3 rings that may end up 4. Looks like he's on his way to being the goat.

    Shouldn't have been able to produce at all with nobody if someone else made him.

    Who made who arguments are silly. It’s completely obvious they benefited from each other. Simple.

    Are people REALLY defending Earl Thomas?!?! Truly unreal!! I love Earl Thomas and I do not think he is a dirty player.


    That said, that was a DIRTY HIT!!!

    Swann & Stallworth both question your Analyst of football ability.

    I'm not one that think rings defines a player outside of the qb.

    My bad, I thought you were serious about Edelman. AB could have been in the running for goat, but lacked the total package.

    Hell no. Edelman isnt even a top ten receiver in the league rn. And it would have been very hard to pass rice. He definitely could have been number 2 though but oh well.

    That makes zero sense and a terrible analogy.

    According to you ab is not a great individual talent because he only performed greatly with ben, therefore if someone else played with ben and then had better success without ben, they've proved to be a better individual talent than AB according to your logic.

    I know you're being facetious but, Rice, Alworth and Largent are all laughing their azzes off at your statement!

    Emmanuel would have had better success with Ben. AB didn't, doesn't & will not have more success without Ben. Your logic is flawed.

    Never said he would be a bum without Ben but his numbers wouldn't have been as prolific. He knows it too and probably why he got himself thrown off the Raiders after logging some practice with Carr.

    His whole trade me and let's find out was about to come back around and smack him upside his head.

    Not sure it should clearly define a QB. Aikman has 3, TB has 4, but you cannot call either truly great w/o the team (both O and D) surrounding them. Brady is probably the only player with multiple rings whose play has continually raised the level of talent around him.
