  • There were a lot of Mangini haters here last year that were bashing the Mack pick nearly the entire season. But it was the right pick. Not only is he an anchor for our O-line, but by picking him that late, Mangini saved us $43,000,000.00!

  • Much like the Joe Thomas pick, the Alex Mack pick was something which HAD to happen before you grabbed that skill position. We've got a lot of cart before the horse fans in terms of thought patterns. You cannot run the ball with THomas and you can't keep Sanchez alive without Mack.

    The gripe about the other players is somewhat legit...BUT those Jets we got helped with depth, in which last year, we were sorely lacking.

  • He should have been a Steeler. I'm more than happy with Pouncey though. Mack is definitely going to be a top tier center.

  • and he could win a spelling bee

    BINGO! Was going to say the same thing. We coulda had Peterson back when we got Thomas, but Peterson may be out of the league by now with the line we woulda had now. We also could have had Mark Sanchez, but without Thomas and now Mack, the dude would prolly be another Tim Couch. Has the potential, but not enough time to do anything, and therefore he stinks.

  • i liked the pick the day we drafted him, mack is a beast! i remember watching highlights on him from his college days and i was very impressed. he looks like the same solid player now that he's in the nfl. here's to hoping he can build off of a good rookie season.

    some fans always go for the flashy picks. you know, the ones that the "experts" obsess over? the horse before the cart phrase sums it up perfectly. sometimes strategy and need determine who a team picks and sometimes that means going for substance and not flashiness.

  • I was sold on draft day when I read that his senior year in college he broke his hand and learned to snap with the other....didn't miss a beat.

    that says alot about a guy and those are the types of players you want on your team.

  • Makes you wonder, what would have happened if LeCharles Bentley hadn't gotten hurt????

    A great pick in Mack... This has the makings of a pretty solid line... Thats where it all starts...

    Peace

    Well Thats ALL I heard last year we were taking Mack. The Browns may have nabbed him just to Foil our plans , na d now reaping the benefits. However I remember hearing similar things about Faine .. so .. idk.

  • Once again "fluff" from a steeler fan..

    We traded Faine becase we just signed Bentley, who at the time was a pro bowl center.....

    If I'm not mistaken, Faine is still playing at a pretty high level....

    Hope you're happy with quincy porkmysister, he should fit in nicely with the vermin in the burg....

    Peace

  • i think faine was overrated and he was injury prone as well. i was glad when the browns got rid of him. he used to get bullrushed and shoved around way too much. i like mack alot better than faine and comparing both of their rookie years, mack did alot better than faine.

    Seriously you guys need to work on the insults.

    A. Cleveland is more redneck than PA will ever be

    B. You have 5, count them 5! of the top 20 worst cities in the United States courtesy of Forbes magazine.

    C. See B your power plant air pollution blows over the state lines and riddl es our air quality with toxins like crazy, so much so that our air quality is some of the worst in the United States thanks to Ohio.

    So my suggestion is that the "pork your sisiter" or "sleep with your mother" comments get retired because it all directly applies to Ohio to the absolute last letter. Jeff Faine is still playing at a high level, Mack is going to be a good one and so is Pouncey. Either way get your game up T-dawg your insults are f.ucking old.

    "PEACE"

    And you only used those same insults a hundred times to. What makes you so special besides the short bus you ride on every day? Grow some balls and talk shyt to someones face and stop hiding behind a computer screen for christ sakes. Anyone can be cocky on the internet and your 5'4 350lb fat ass proves it.

  • Hey robotwerp---272 posts in 3 months on an opponents message board??????????

    Seems to me you must like it here and maybe you even yearn to be a Browns fan...

    -OR- maybe there's no one on the Steelers board that can stand your ignorance...

    Either way you're pathetic....

    BTW, as an outsider what do you really think of the human race????

    Peace--you bastard
