    FYI, don't know about you, but I'm not going to run around with a bunch of "told-you-so's" if the Steelers don't make the playoffs, but the rules such as they are, commence self-flagellation.

    I still think of that moment in GOT. Took balls (ovaries) to walk that far naked and have so many people around. Did enjoy when she got the bell ringing nun back.

    Watch your mouth. I'll have you to know that the nun is the character Rebecca (part owner of soccer team) on "Ted Lasso" and is a pleasant sight for the eyes if I may say so. Ted Lasso the show isnt bad itself. Def a recommended watch.

    If I could have figured out how, I was going to start a pole on this. I would have set the over under at 3.5 games.

    So what's your point? And what's not to like? These two are the future.

    Wow the name calling game has increased. You have to admit that the Offensive Line is getting better right?! Or are we going to get another diatribe their poser?

    The point was clear. As good as your RB and TE play, they don't have near the impact as a highly functioning QB does. That's why, despite their good play, the Steelers still aren't scoring.

    The Steelers are building the offense in reverse order. If they go with Mason next year and a rookie in 2023, it might be until Najee's 4th season (after what, 1200 touches?) until they're ready to win again.

    i believe Snell is better than most do. I know I am in the minority.
    at least for this year, I mean.

    Upgrade next year maybe.

    This should get your butt booted. It should have gotten you booted the first time you called someone this. Personal attacks of this magnitude should not be tolerated.

    This really isn't an argument. We get your point, but this can be said about every team, every position. Case in point - Henry with TN. Now they have AD? ...just no. Not the same. Barkley? R. Wilson?

    This isn’t Madden Football, what QB are you trading them for? And a stud WR too? Lol, oh man. Is that all.

    They drafted two good players at positions they needed to fill and that are having a positive impact. Building a team is a process that is not accomplished overnight.

    Basically the bottom line is the Steelers aren’t listening to you and it upsets you because you think your ideas are the only way to build a team.

    What if they didn't proclaim? Would Harris' status be different? JK

    Meanwhile, they're still winning... despite the haters. Ben doesn't have what he used to but is still a quality QB in the league.

    SHHHHHHHHHhhh! Don't foil his, "I told you so!" predictions!

    Yah boy, I think we've seen may 47.5% of Harris' potential and Muth about 26.9%. Imagine when they hit 100%. Both are special now.

    Lot can change between now and then but completely agree. Have my eye on Ridder, too.

    I haven't gotten around to looking at Pickett yet, what do you think about him?

    I’m 37.8% confident you made those percentages up.

    I hope Najee is in one piece after the rebuild, which begins in earnest next year. And it's not about "listening to me", it's conventional wisdom that when you start over, you don't build round a running back.

    Everyone is in that boat regarding QB, not so about running back. Henry was a great example - the Titans are screwed now, like the Steelers would be if their heavily worked RB with no backup gets hurt.

    They're 4-3 largely because of the defense. They were 7-0 last year before Ben hit the wall a few games later.

    Ben's a bottom 8 QB now.

    Close the glue jar. Getting rid of two excellent performers (or more) for a player we HOPE is good is a little unstable for me.

    Kenny Pickett is a very good QB but does not fit the traditional Steeler Mold of what the team looks for in their QBs. He is a big QB who has some mobility to his game. His arm?! Accurate for anywhere on the field but lacking the oomph to fire said passes into tight windows; a quality and accurate arm but not a howitzer that this team needs. For reference, per Sports Info Solutions, Pickett only has one pass that was thrown 45 yards or more.... in 2018.



    However, despite this, Pickett's surge this season is no fluke for certain. Even in the loss to the U, Pickett did more than enough to assist Pitt in winning that game. If Pitts Defense executed the basics and fundamentals, Pitt wins that game albeit in a close one. A West Coast Offense would be the ideal landing spot for him; Erhardt–Perkins being a very good fit. Putting him in an offense like the Air Coryell would be placing him at a disadvantage as said offense requires a QB with a rocket for an arm.



    Not stating this is Matt Canada's Offense at all. However, having a QB that can consistently hit on those tight window throws is much better than without.

    Conventional wisdom or your wisdom? They needed a running back and got the best in the draft. As pointed out to you numerous times, there was no lineman that were worth taking in that spot.

    Plus, the line is improving, so how exactly are they wrong in their approach?
