    Playing himself into a nice contract next season. What's he gonna cost the Steelers to sign him to a 3 year contract? I'm thinking 3 yrs/$19M.

    Rodgers: "I told him I'm gonna get him [Gainwell] paid"

    He’s outplayed Warren.

    Our coaches are failing the OL,these dudes cannot run block to save their lives.
    There were some plays Warren instead of cutting it back tried to go wide out run Miami ,their D is fast..Gainwell is a keeper

    Gainwell was a solid pick up who has out performed all expectations. Also at vet minimum. He is going to get paid.

    Right about now it'd be nice to have a decent #2 Wide Receiver.

    Gainwell was solid in Philly - and would still be had it not been for someone named Saquon. I was thrilled when we signed KG, he is a baller.

    They compliment each other very well. Reminds me of LeVeon Bell and DeAngelo Williams as two featured backs.

    And they liked Gainwell better than Najee

    Obviously

    He’s on the roster and Najee is not

    Other than Boz I would pick Gainwell as team MVP this year.

    Actually BOZ has been quite in the last 5 games. Only 4 field goal attempts added together in the last 5 games.

    Boz deserved it last year over Watt.

    Gainwell received a lot of hate here, earlier in the season. Glad to see him contributing. I like that Gainwell runs forward all the time... unlike Harris and DJ. Harris danced around too much and DJ ran backwards.

    A good thing when we are getting TDs instead of FGs. But you can bet that Boz is sitting there, ready to swing that golden boot of his whenever needed for that clutch kick that wins it for us.

    It's a bit odd. We relied a lot on him but now is our extra point guy. We'll start going for 2 every time we score a TD just to F with him;)

    I started the year not liking the Gainwell addition. Thinking he was going to be another player that A Smith would feed playing time to that didn't deserve. And I worried that it would keep Johnson from seeing the field (which it has).

    And I was completely wrong about Gainwell.

    There's an argument to be made that he's our best offensive player this year. Which I think says more about the offense than it does about Gainwell. I don't think I'd buy that argument (because Rodgers is so much better than anything we've had in a long time in the red zone). But Gainwell has been a huge benefit for this offense.
