Steelers sign Mitch Trubisky

This hasn’t actually happened

At least not yet

 

I agree with this. So far... this has been the best offseason Steelers have had in recent memory. Drafting a QB in the first round would take this grade down to a D- considering the project level talent at QB this year, along with the fact Steelers signed Trubisky.

 

We shall see.
If Your intention is 2 draft a Qb this year its a waste of money IMO . Also I agree what they've done so far is great, but not if they Draft a Qb in the 1st....then What they did I'd a waste at the Qb position. Especially if they move up 2 take one.
It won't be revisionist if I bring it up later either. Since I'm saying it now.

 

Not even close...I have stated that before.
If I thought Mason was the GUY....why would I want us 2 draft a Qb next year??? Because I have stated about 100,000,006 times We should draft a Qb next year.
My thought is different from Yours in that ...If the Steelers think Trubisky is the GUY....then why draft one this year, and If He is not the GUY....then why F**king bother???
If Your not the GUY ....You're not the GUY,and We could have used that money in other places of need ...which I many.

 

Comes down 2 options....No???
I personally don't think Trubisky is better than Mason, or Haskins, and If He actually turns out better than both, and You are correct it's all Chicago's fault.....Then Drafting a Qb this Year will be a waste. At least give the Guy a shot at seeing if it was Chicago's fault. If Drafting a Qb this year in the 1st ....He knows it's only a matter of time, and He's gone....whereas Mason and Haskins have been already living this.

 

Yeah, take away their outstanding young quarterback and elite receiver and they might not be good!

 

I would be fine with Pickett at 20, but it's not going to happen. I wouldn't want Willis even there. I just hope the that Colbert sticks to his implication that they will be holding on to their draft picks rather than trading up.

 

That was the formula with the killer Bee's. Hurt Bell, knock Brown out and get after Ben and it ended those playoff runs. I give full credit to Burrow/Chase combo for their season but realistic enough to know one without the other things would be different.

 

I hope this is all smoke and mirrors from Tomlin and Colbert. Last time I checked.... the Vikings ran all over the Steelers just a few months ago gaining over 300+ yards on the ground. A 1st round QB will not help the run defense... at all.

 

Nobody tips their hat for what they are going to do. Tomlin saying they will probably draft a QB is pure BS and all he is doing is throwing a lasso to idiot analysts.

Now if one falls to us and it would be stupid to pass on then he will be on point. Anybody that knows me knows I'm not a big MT fan but he is being honest here to a degree. We are in a great position to either draft a QB or simply pass on one without the pressure to do either.

I agree with Blast Furnace and HeinzMustard, it's been a great offseason. See what happens when you don't tie all your dough into one player. Not many other teams can say that right now. Our future is looking bright and we're going to be flying under the radar.

 

Yes agree with that....totally
I just think His confidence will be destroyed if they draft in the 1st, and if the Drafted Qb sucks.....then

 

Considering that no teams reached 250 yards rushing against the Steelers last season, seems like you never checked.

It is possible to complain about the team's run defense without making things up.

 

I don't dispute that, but assuming one will get hurt is a dubious strategy.

 

So 250 yards is not as bad as 300? WTF? Who cares? So I was off by fifty f*cking yards. Sue me. Steelers D was gashed by Vikings running game bad enough to rank them 32nd in run defense....aka....last place in the NFL. I've been watching the Steelers since 1979 and never witnessed the atrocity in run defense that happened during the Vikings game. Not even in 1988...5-11.

Edit: 246 yards rushing... between Cook, Cousins and a backup RB. Might as well been 300.

My slight exaggeration is justified.

 

You said you checked. You didn't. That's what I was complaining about.

If you weren't certain, you didn't have to say "over 300+ yards", which is more than fifty f*cking yards.
It would have been easy enough to say "I haven't checked" and then give some approximate number, instead of saying that you did and being way off. It will make you less credible in future arguments if the reader can't be certain that the facts you state are actually correct.

(I'll stop harping about this, since run defense won't be a problem if the DL can stay healthy.)

 

There was a time when the Steelers defense was offended and p!ssed off when a team like Jaguars/F. Taylor or Ravens/J. Lewis would run for over 100 yards on them. I guess those days are long gone under the popcorn regime. Sad thing is... the Vikings with Cook were average and didn't have the excellent Titans running game with Henry. Steelers D-line and ILBs got tooled by an average running team. Something's gotta give because there's no word on Tuitt.... and Steelers appear to be dead set on a QB in the first round. Myles Jack will be an improvement at ILB, but they still need more depth there if Bush craps the bed again.

 

At one point in the game Cook had 117 yards on only 7 carries. He looked like a High School RB going up against a Pee-wee team.

 

Here is what I'm trying 2 get at My Friend...(remember I don't think He that good anyway, but willing 2 give Him a chance)....I have heard countless times that Trubisky didn't succeed .....because.....nobody can succeed if the Coach and team doesn't want Him.......
So does drafting a 1st round Qb send the message....Hey Trubisky....We really want You????

 

I'm guessing the Steelers know what Tuitt is going to do, so that will help inform their decision.
