Warming Up To Something Special: Why Artie Burns Was the Correct Choice

Discussion in 'Steelers Talk' started by AskQuestionsLater, May 10, 2016.

  1. High Ceiling. I want a player who has the intangibles to become great while learning the basics.

  2. High Floor. I want a plug and play player who is a good enough athlete to give me instant results.

    I think I know who the cornball is.

    You are spot on, Shark is a great story, too. All the things they are saying about Burns they said about Shark, and yes, he was touted as smart too.

    There was an article recently that said basically, Shark was trying to replace Troy and that he just needs to go out and play his game instead. No one can be Troy.

    I'm hoping he can still turn things around, team will be much better off with him if he starts playing well then without him.

    Burns got the bulk of his playing time as a junior that's how he got the 6 ints.

    Shamarko is known to have a really good work ethic. He got that from his family and his family situation.

    Artie also has extra motivation. It can't hurt.

    But as we saw with Shamarko it is no guarantee of success.

    Players get hyped up by their backstories sometimes. It happens.
