    I joined this board back in college because all my good friends from school are diehard Browns fans and I wanted to know what was going on with the team. Now with that said I'm diehard pittsburgh everything and what you typed is a hilarious crock of shit. Mike Tomlin deserves a Nobel peace prize for keeping brown under wraps for so long. There is also a reason so many players sing his praises and it's not because he's a pussy with no accountability.

    Either way I'm not going to get into a round and round today. I'm not in the mood. 

    I don't think Tomlin contributed much to the drama.  Of course, he likely didn't contribute much to quelling it either.

    Your drama queens are now mostly gone....or now out.    Of course, the question is:  is there someone there that will fill the role of "asshat in chief" now that B and B and BR are out of the picture.

    Candidates could include jujubee.  Maybe someone on defense.

    You don't know anything about juju if you think he's a drama queen. We are void of drama Queens currently.

    He didn't look bad at all, he looked shockingly good. I'm not putting the cart before the horse and I'm sick over Ben as I think it could end his career but I'm excited to see what he brings to the table. 

    He also has full use of the entire playbook according to Tomlin.

    I just said that he was the primary candidate simply because he’s now the number one receiver and those guys have a tendency to be divas that’s all. he may not be. Who knows we’ll see.

    Nor mine. I hate the Squeelers like the Mongoose hates the Cobra but I don't want to see anyone hurt. I would much rather sweep the bastards with him under Center.

    Sure looked like it  Gip. He got tackled  earlier in the  game, but he landed on his left  elbow. He was definitely having  trouble  before he tried that 30+ yard pass to  Ju-Ju.

    Can't wait for  our pal Vag to show up with his slanted commentary.  🙂

    He was hurt after the week one game, it just got worse against the Seahawks. They drafted Rudolph for a reason. He looked great when he came in so I guess we will find out. I'm ready for a bad season but don't expect it to be a shit show.

    Unfortunately he uses it as a doorstop...

    Seriously... he did look good... but he ain't Ben... physically and mentally. And given the talent drain you've seen over the past two-years... can you afford a tradedown at QB?

    Yes.... the D has been bolstered with Bush in the middle and now Minkah behind him, but now you've mortgaged your future in a dubious effort to "save" 2019.

    I'm not getting it, Vag...

  • More great news 

    Source: The #Steelers are hosting former first-round QB Paxton Lynch for a visit today. As they look to add to their QB room...
     
     
     
    Now someone just has to take out Mason Rudolph ....

    They're minus their first (Minkah) and third (Bush) next year. Or do they think they can keep pulling Antonio Brown talent out of a rabbit hat in the sixth round? 

    A little OT in this thread Tour- but Dolphins fans should start picketing the stadium for that latest move, can't blame Minkah for wanting out though. They can start asking our guys on how to plan that 0-16 parade. Yeah- I'm going on record now- if I'm still alive in the Survivor pool, I'm taking the Browns when they play the 'Fins.  

  • After decades of predicting, hoping, praying to God that the stealers will suck, I think this will finally be the year!!

    Getting a comp third for bell. The steelers have their second, third round comp, two 4ths and I believe a 6th and a 7th.

    I never said he was Ben. He could be really good tho and that's all that matters. What isn't to get? Sean Davis has a torn labrum. He just got put on IR.  Minka fitzpatrick is a born leader, 22 years old and is still on his rookie contract. He could come out next draft and still be young. On top of that he's already proven, you know what you are getting and he's go time right now. The trade makes nothing but sense, especially when the steelers have such a hard time identifying secondary talent.

    If they are 0-6 along with a winless Dolphin team, that would make for an interesting "tank" game.

    No matter what they were never going to draft a qb next year. They believe in Rudolph, this trade made that pretty damn clear. Ben isn’t having tommy john but a different surgery with a shorter recovery and he stated he will honor his contract. Soooo the Steelers traded for a stud corner/safety on a rookie deal at 22 years old. I’d make this trade ten times over and be happy about it each time, especially after hearing what nick saban said about him at Alabama.

    and I don’t really gamble, maybe after I see Rudolph play a full game. I do however think it’s hilarious that people seem to think the Steelers are just going to lay down and die.

    Lay down and die?  No, they won't lay down and die.....but they may be kicked down and die...by better teams.  There could be as many as 10-12 teams in the AFC that are better overall than the Steelers right now with their situation.   And don't take Saban's praises as any sort of guarantee.   Can you say Dee Millner,  Trent Richardson, Chance Warmack....not that I think he will be a bust like those guys.  In fact, I think he is a stud......but don't take my guarantee for that either.
