Bens Successor Draft Thread

He played at Saint X high school which was coached by Former Saint X and Pittsburgh Steeler Will Wolford from 2013 to 2017

 

would anybody be opposed to maybe a free agent? one i wouldn't mind a possibility of is teddy bridgewater. he is a capable qb especially in the right offense. rookies are so hit or miss, even the highly rated ones. ryan leaf, trebisky, and several others chosen early. there is no guarantee that we will pick the next ben or brady or mahomes. could this be an option? doesn't mean we don't draft a guy. just throwing this out there for discussion.

 

I'm not opposed to a FA on a 2 year deal. That way we can draft a QB in 23 and allow the vet to help develop the new guy.

 

I'd like to have their head coach too.

 

We've done pretty good taking a qb early. Getting the run game going will help any qb back there though.

 

Especially considering all the turmoil on this team. New scheme on offense, Line is a joke, there will be coaching changes. That would not be fair to a rookie and would probably ruin them before they got started.

 

Bad mechanics, mediocre accuracy. There's not much in his game that says he's NFL caliber. The hype around him is complete fiction. Fortunately, there are better prospects and most of the bad teams in the league have recently spent early firsts on QBs, so it's likely, given the trajectory of this season, the Steelers wouldn't be in a position to consider him

 

I said the same thing about Lamar Jackson before he was drafted and was told 1000 times on here he wasn’t a NFL QB. How’d that work out? My assessment of him is accurate.

 

Lamar's coaches have done a great job developing a system that allows him to look like an OK passer. I wouldn't say he's even in the top half of the league.

No QB will get such a luxury scheme here while Tomlin is HC

 

Lamar played against a lot better competition than Willis.

 

i was originally talking about Ridder but I wouldn’t be concerned about Willis’s competition he’s a Auburn transfer, and they clearly started the wrong QB. He could play for a number of power 5 schools. I said he should have been drafted last year.

 

Very Good.
Some see college ball...see a play made and don't look past that, or can't

 

This season, he is playing as if he will be more than that. Some guys mature later than others. He has come a long way since he first became a starter for Pitt.

 

Pickett will be 24 next season. His talent level isn't something that's can't-miss and makes that irrelevant.

 

Mac Jones?????

 

Not sure I like any of them enough as a top 5 pick. Maybe one in the top 10. Of all the years some fans clamor for the Steelers to trade back this might be the year.

 

right. the live arm as you say, i noticed. his passing percentage stuck out to me. never mind the running, that's just an added bonus.

 

Still a rook, you and I were the only one on him last year.
The man can spin it and is very, very accurate.

 

What....Go back and Look ...I said He was the 2nd Qb that should be taken off the Board.
