    yet we got two starters out of that. one if it hadn't been for injury. one (pouncey) stole the position he now plays at off of the 2nd weakazz FA we tried to plug in on the line because they were trying to play pouncey at guard. the UDFA's foster and legursky made the team. of those drafted one is on the PS, one lasted one year (urbik) and the other never made it out of camp(williams) and one before that, hills a 4th rounder lasted until we cut him loose for an udfa. yea, those were high quality picks we made while he was here. don't forget about stephonson. we drafted him too while BA was here. the udfa won again( stapleton). yea i gotta admit your right our O-line had it going on while BA was the head of the offense. i am quite certain he had nothing to do with anyone drafted either. same as MT, he's just a coach, he just has to coach whatever they give him. man colbert and rooney stinks at this draft stuff. :roll: :cool:[/quote:3k74k6xj]

    The HC and GM make the final decision on the players that get drafted. But hey, if it makes you happy to be completely unreasonable and place all the blame for the Oline on BA have a blast.[/quote:3k74k6xj]

    Well, you know, it's BA, the man everyone loves to hate. The guys moved on but our fan base cannot. :beathorse:

    I just fail to see how comparing the draft with BA and without is some kind of taboo topic to some of you.

    The title of the thread is BA....who was surprised when they clicked on it..and it was about....wait for it.................BA!!!!!

    and for those who don't think that the coordinators have any say in the drafting are way off....the are not the final word...but they are involved...if not why would the front office pay for all those plane tickets flying coordinators around the country to attend pro days and workouts......Plane tickets..perdiems, hotel rooms .....all for the ruse to throw off the other teams from noticing where the head coach and FO personnel really are


    again..if you dont want to talk about BA please just dont click on the "BA" thread....or comment 4 or 5 times in it before you decide you are above the conversation

    Hypocrites calling out hypocrites, this is so funny, some of you people make such fools of yourselves. BA was a coach here last year the fact that BA and his threads are steeler related is right in front of your face, we haven't played even a preseason without him, so topics about him are definitley steeler related.

    It's funny, people want to knock people who still wonder about BA like there's something wrong with them for not letting it go, but then you in turn can't get over that.








    Anyone who makes a toaster joke or ever has is one of the lamest people ill never meet.(kind of like mark Cuban)
    I know there ment to down play other people's "uninteresting" posts, but their just lame.......and not even close to funny.

    Just goes to prove that BA was/is a polarizing figure even after he's gone. BTW, lighten up on the toaster thing. It was just some folks having fun. There are probably more important things for you to be passionate about. Just sayin...

    Not looking to start anything Tomlin_Era, but for someone who hates this thread so much i believe you have posted more than anyone in here, or pretty darn close to it. Why is that? Personally, if I read a thread that i'm not interested in I simply move along. :shrug:

    Because I was doing what you do on a message board, discussing a topic. At first I was expressed my amazement that BA threads are still popping up, then an opinion that GM's decide who does and doesn't get drafted, then a little further down Hack made the notion people should just not click on a topic they don't want to read (a fair point) but I felt if it were in the right forum, myself and others wouldn't have to ignore it. From there my posts have been light hearted, so not really sure where you are getting the hate thing :shrug: If people are going to insist on blaming BA for volcano eruptions on Mt Vesuvius then I'm going to continue to post how silly the idea is. The BA thing is a train wreck, people are gonna look, keep it off the main board, I'll be less likely to take a peek.

    Has anyone noticed that this Message Board has turned into a Message Book. I don't care but I am getting my reading fix with this topic, just like all Pittsburghers we have a very opinionated views.

    A valid thread in my opinion. I agree with mac that BA had his hands all over that draft. Interesting with regard to Chuck Pagano being an ex-D coordinator. The fact that they started with 4 Offensive players including 2 TE's speaks volumes to me. I would also say that I believe BA had much more influence in Indy's draft than Haley had in ours.

    I think you've made your point though. You don't like the topic. And, for whatever reason, you don't believe the topic belongs in this section. I don't think anyone would insist that you move a thread to another section if it was about Hines Ward or James Farrior. So why BA? It's as if you're saying you have no self control so we all need to police ourselves and not post topics that you don't like (especially if they're posted in this section) because you may have to "take a peek", as you say.

    "Because I was doing what you do on a message board, discussing a topic" These are your own words. Maybe this is what the OP was doing as well? :hmmm:

    You're fixated on one fraction of this thread that I said it doesn't belong here. What about the several other posts I alluded to in my last answer to you? Don't go acting like I'm beating a drum not to post here, it was 1 or two replies. Truth be told, I don't really give a flying monkey that BA was in this forum, I didn't take that angle until it was mentioned that you shouldn't look if you don't like the topic. If it were in the right forum, I wouldn't have to avoid it, thats the only point I was making. While we are on the topic of avoiding posts, why are you respondig to mine if you don't like what I have to say? :shrug: Just ignore it. Works both ways chief.

    For someone who isn't trying to start anything, you seem to be trying awfully hard. Way to twist things around to try and fit your argument. Go back and find where I ever told Mac to post in the right forum, I was responding to someone else which I already explained to you, not going to waste my time explaining it again. In regards to what Mac said, I responded that it's the GM's duty. Again, I explained all this but you are fixated on the wrong forum part.

    I am still waiting for those claiming that it is more the HC and GM than the coordinators making the decisions to explain how they wasted a 2nd and 3rd pick on TE's when they have holes every where on that team. Even if you go with Burgh's theory about surrounding Luck with weapons there were better weapons available in the 3rd then drafting a second TE. They don't even have a starting center anymore so if someone can explain how that isn't BA's fingerprints on the draft I would like to know.

    Turtles on rollerskates :shocked: This is getting frightening :swoon:


    @Thorns, I'm not sure anyone was implying an OC has nothing to do with the draft, just that they don't have final say on who's drafted. It was being thrown around that if BA was still here, we wouldn't have taken DeCastro, that's silly to me. We took Pouncey under BA and some suggested we had no choice but to take him. Like there was any other choice but to grab DeCastro? Steelers have been one of the best drafting organizations in the history of football, long before BA arrived and will be long after.
