LOL, and Paxton has reached his true ceiling.... Good to see that drafting bust QBs in the first round isn't limited to the Browns anymore....  

Lynch is hot garbage on an August afternoon.

They will do just enough to keep Tomlin, everyone in the AFC celebrates. It would be scary if they had a HC like even Harbaugh. Hell, if Hoodie coached that team they'd win rings. If they win 8 games, Tomlin will be lauded. 

The mike Tomlin hate is so fucking stupid. Yinzers do it too. He's a good coach and he's always been a good coach. The team is in the midst of a transition. If anything Keith butler will be fired, it's not going to be Tomlin.

By the way, per the depth chart, the Steelers backup QB is now a guy named  Devlin Hodges?

Anyone ever heard of this guy?

Are they in the market for a more experienced (better) backup?  Who would be out there?

He had a strong preseason, they cut him and brought him back. If they didn't have Rudolph I wouldn't have been surprised to see them sign kaep.

So you are finally admitting the Stealers got an over the hill Haden huh?  LOL!?

We didn't draft haden. Haden has been great for us.

Replacing Davis was a blessing for Pitt, he was horrid but Steelers' brass wouldn't admit it. But Minka better be pro bowl level or it's a bad move. I doubt Rudolph will be what Ben was. Can he pull out wins like Ben did all the time? Also, Edmunds not looking like a good 1st-round pick. He's always out of position. No instincts. Yea, he's big and fast, so what?

Davis got "replaced" because he tore his labrum. Fitzpatrick has already proven himself, the steelers hadn't traded a first round pick since the 60's and they traded one for him. Edmunds came out raw, got a ton of snaps as a rookie and continues to improve. I'm not worried about him at all. Nelson has been nothing short of monster status opposite haden, add in fitzpatrick and Bush. The defense will be much improved. Currently we have 9 or 10 first round draft picks on defense.

And the rest of the AFC will celebrate. How many playoff games has he won in a decade? He's a fraud. All he's good for are snappy quips but has zero substance. All he has is hollow words.

"We are gonna bring hell in December." (didn't win another game).

"We are gonna defend every blade of grass." (got his ass kicked next game)

Yea, that's the problem: wasting 1st round draft picks on players who suck. Davis sucks (2nd round), so does Edmunds (first round). Artie Burns is hot garbage. Dupree blows. And Bush has looked lost and ineffective so far. Nice 1st round picks. It doesn't matter if your D is made up of 1st round picks if they suck. Their pass D is still a total joke, after all these years and draft picks, it never get better. FAIL coaching. FAIL personnel decisions.

Is your new OL coach a son of Flounder from Animal House? Our just a frat house member?  or has he even coached in college?

As I said in another thread... This is the same tool that said Greedy Williams sucks.. In the meantime Greedy is starting in the NFL ..

Tomlin is a good coach, but I think  John Harbaugh is better.   John Harbaugh is much better than Jim Harbaugh.

No he hasn't.  He has been mediocre...not nearly as good as he was here for years.  He only seemed great to you because a mediocre or below DB looks good compared to the crap you had back there.   And yes, Minkah should help, a lot...at least in terms of talent level in your DB. Not sure it will help the overall team.

And you are going to fuck everyone of Zombo's  assistants all in the same night.

And Artie Burns is doing what? Should not even made the team this year. He sucks balls. So much for 1st round picks in Pitt.

Butler and Tomlin blow as coaches go. They make all their talent worse.

Great? 3 ints since he's been there in 2017. You call that great? OK, there, whatever you say. He had SIX ints his first year in Cleveland. SIX, in his FIRST year.

I never said greedy sucks. I said he's a man corner being plugged into a heavy zone scheme and that he was a head case in college. True on both fronts.

So you are the new board dip shit? Burns is our 5th corner. Edmunds has had flashes and he's young. Dupree was drafted for his athleticism, he hasn't been great but he hasn't been bad. Fitzpatrick is a beast, watt us a beast, Bush will be a beast. Nelson has been lights out, haden has been great. Mark barron has been solid. Keep talking out of your ass tho.
