Steelers secondary isn't the best measuring stick.;+)
The franchise had reason not to trust him.
Papa Manning didn't want Eli to be a Charger. I don't think Eli could point to San Diego on a map (or in a sticker book) back then.
He might be an upgrade by default at this point.;+)
Or, he could have failed a drug test the first day of camp and been out of the league with zero$.(since we're using hypotheticals). He took the...
His rookie year was insane, he looked like he was going to be the next big thing. I don't know what happened after year 2.
Your math makes sense. Based on that, he lost. But it might not have worked out that way (knowing his history). I'm not saying I agree with what...
I get your point, but if he played last year he wouldn't have 35 million$ right now. He may have gotten it eventually, but maybe not. Bird in the...
If that was the reason (which it very well may have been), it didn't work.:(
A little adversity (or a lot), and you're out? You have to ask yourself if you ever were a Steelers fan to begin with.
I don't think either is the case. The organization doesn't seem to hold grudges (that I can remember w/o trying real hard). Mr. Rooney was willing...
The fans won't welcome him back for such an event, but the organization will.
Steelers are in 'soft rebuild', which is usually how they approach it.
I think we can both agree he's not the play maker that they envisioned when drafting him. He's good at tying up 1 lineman and chasing after the...
Dupree gets 9 mil for 2nd string talent.;+)
Bell rolled the dice and lost. He's a 35 million dollar loser. And a Jet.:unsure:
Decent depth, no?
Nelson did okay vs AB in last seasons KC game. He had a pick in the end zone but it was called back due to pass interference.
I don't think anyone was crowning them yet.
My mistake, it was Pouncey's idle threat. It's getting hard to keep track of who said what. [MEDIA]
