    Wow ... ok, so does this mean they go after a rb in the 1st rd if Harris or Etienne is there?

    Absolutely hated the way the owner ran him out of town this offseason!

    He is currently better than anything we have on the team right now, and just signed a 1 year deal with the Cards.

    It has to be RB in the 1st now.

    Once the Steelers signed Ballage, I knew Conner was gone.

    I wish him the best. If he can stay healthy, maybe he can do some nice things in Arizona.

    One game with Najee and James will be a distant memory.

    What's a distant memory is one of a competent OL. An entire SEASON with anything comparable to last year's production won't make us forget being last in the league in rushing, no matter WHO is in our backfield.

    Some of you keep forgetting that RB's need blocking.

    Apparently he rejoins Coach Saxon in AZ the same RB coach he had in his best season in Pittsburgh. Makes sense.

    Liked his story and he seems like a good kid, but I've never been a big fan of him on the field. Maybe I was spoiled by Bell after the "running back by committee" we had to suffer through before Bell, but I never felt Conner was up to par.

    But I wish him the best at Steelers West.

    Don't forget, Rashard Mendenhall had a rejuvenated career in The Valley of the Sun in 2013 where he racked up 687 yds to conclude his 6 year career. :rolleyes:

    Best of luck to you Mr. Conner, Loved your story and how you played the game. Saw how you tried to tame JuJu and others from over celebrating, wish you the best.

    I wish him nothing but the best. Maybe a change of scenery will make all the difference in the world for him.

    Best of luck to him, great guy. I think he needs a change of scenery, and at least he will have nice weather out there.

    I wouldn’t have hated the Steelers bringing him back on a cheap deal to be part of a rotation in Canada’s new offence, he is a good pass blocker and a decent pass catcher, miles better than Samuels at just about everything, and Snell too in fact. What’s done is done though, I genuinely hope he can make something of his career but I fear he is going to be a bit of a journeyman, bouncing around the league on short contracts.

    Wish James the best in AZ. Hopefully FO knows what they are looking for and at what value.
