Why is Jackson Painting Himself Into a Corner?
-
Exactly. Last year Hue was content to let a far less talented Kizer stink up the joint- so now, it's 180 time and play Taylor regardless. Sure, I have the opinion it's far better to have Baker sit and watch for at least 1\2 the season- OTOH, Wentz got thrown into the fire week one- and it didn't seem to phase him.
Sure, Taylor is in another league than Kessler and Hogan. But it was maddening to see Deshone get trotted out there last year week after week when you knew it was going to be yet another suck performance.
FWIW, Hue WANTED Brock Ostrich to be worth the time and money the FO wasted on him so he didn't have to gag on Kizer. I remembered hearing him say he wanted to go with a veteran instead of experience. During the preseason, Ostrich couldn't throw a football into Lake Erie from the wet rocks touching it. Kizer could only throw the ball over Lake Erie to Canada when we just needed a touch pass or quick out. It was pick your poison and live it. When we started Hogan, he had more turnovers than a bakery. That doesn't bail Corey Coleman out for dropping the ball vrs Pittsburgh. It was a 2 way street here where we had the worst WR Corps in the NFL working with the worst QB situation and what many deemed the worst OC.
So, we changed FO and got better choices at QB,WR and OC. Love hearing what Baker is doing with his new teammates and playbook. I think he's going to be great if we don't rush it. Keep in mind, he hasn't seen 1 opposing defense yet where he not only has to know our playbook but all disguised schemes/ alignments within the limited time he'll have for pre-snap reads. Aside from that, we will have a inexperienced LT that is built like a Guard and trained all off-season to face 330-350 lb DTs instead of the Von Miller. While I think Bitonio can settle in do a nice job - there's a reason he's expressed some concerns in spite of his willingness to put "team before I." All that being the case, I don't mind seeing Taylor begin the year as the starter especially if he continues his low volume of INTs.
IF Taylor disappoints, does Haley look like the kind of guy that will accept that for an extended period? He'll be swearing in 5 different languages in Hue's in ear at rock concert decibels.

So that was Kizer's fault? Dude can't catch, and can't stay healthy. It happens (cough Greg Little cough), and while he deserves a last shot he's shown very little at this point.
Coleman caught the ball and the DB knocked it out.
Still Coleman has to come down with those and especially on big plays. Lets see what happens with Tyrod and Haley before throwing dirt on Coleman. It does not look good for him at this point, but rebounds do happen.

That's just objectively wrong, and is clear as day even in a less than HD .gif. His hands are empty a full second before the Steelers player hits him. Come on man.

In what world did he catch the ball?
If you are saying this is a fumble, then it's first down and we were headed to 1-15 and 0-16 never happened.

Maybe the ball was moving and it scared him.

Its hard to see it that video.
Clear enough for you? Just admit you're wrong man, it's not like I'm even disagreeing with you fundamentally.

Especially if we're not powering down Tequila and eating the worm.
Is there another video where we can clearly see Casper the Friendly Ghost knocking the ball out of Coleman's hands?

Better angle.

I said this is his 3rd year Coke Bottle glasses.
Hey Booze, what's with all the name calling lately?
Your horrible week in here began in the Dez thread with your thesis that Kenny Britt's career was on the same path as Larry Fitzgerald's until 9 weeks, not to be confused with 9 years, with Kizer ran the train off the tracks.

Figbar, whats with all the whining?
As usual you cant read. Never said that Britt was on Fitzgeralds path. Why dont you show everyone where that was stated? You cant because its all made up in that delusional crack addict head.

Basically, I said that I believe that Taylor will make Coleman and Higgins better. Taylor has a higher completion %. The Buffalo WRs had good numbers and their worst guy would be one of the best for the Browns last season.
What happened next was the primate section of the board went crazy. Upset and throwing feces led by the head chimp Zombie. Flugel deserves honorable mention as well. Dutch Boy too.

A crackhead calling the kettle black?
Says the guy that blames Kizer for the reason Britt has 8 disappointing seasons to show for his 9 year career. You know things are going horrible for you when you gotta revert back to 2nd grade bus stop smack. What's next - my dad can take your dad?
Maybe next week we can work on the difference between 9 weeks and 9 years. Baby steps.
Just out of curiosity, what did you do with all your old Steeler jackets? I know you didn't give them to Ghoolie because he has to shop at Tent City for all his clothing.

Classic, whining about name calling after name calling.
Britt had flashes of being good.
No need to work on anything. I forgot more about football than you will ever know. Wrong about the Steeler fan too there Skippy.

Ya know, Coleman had some decent games even last season. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/11278/corey-coleman He could still turn out to be a keeper, but a disappointment as a 1st round pick.
How do you explain the Steelers drafting Emanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown is the same draft?
