    The Steelers made my point for me:   their very first pick chosen was  a WR.   So clearly they don't have the faith in those backups.....well, actually, they may have faith in them as backups, not frontline players.  They are no better than Damon Ratley and Tywan Taylor. 

    So, now, maybe they have a couple of actual NFL starters...because yes,   they were never shopping JuJu. 

    And Eric Ebron  is a tight end.   And don't they still have McDonald?  I wasn't talking about their TEs...who, if they have both McDonald and Ebron will be pretty good. 

    You watch zero football besides the browns. It’s so bad with you having an actual legit conversation is impossible.  Claypool is huge and fast and perfect for the final two years of bens contract.

    Well apparently you don’t watch even the Steelers because whatever Claypool May turn out to be he is perceived by the Steelers to be better than anything they have on hand.

    ... and not agile and despite his size has trouble with press coverage...

    But more importantly only two more years of Ben? Max? Give me the under... 😉 

    Welcome back...

  • Heres a squeeler preduction...in 2 years when ben retires...they will pick up Aaron Rodgers from GB.

    It wasn't a pick I expected but in the midst of all this I fell off the predraft wagon. If there is one thing I will never question the steelers on under colbert it's wr. His issues with press and some of his rawness is likely why he fell to the second. Juju was a left field pick for me too. 

    Browns had a solid draft, hell the whole north did especially the fucking Ravens. *vomit*

    Although the Ravens had 6 picks in the first three rounds. All I know now is I don't want the league to start with empty stadiums but it is interesting with what the nhl is maybe planning with host cities.

    Hope all is well in your neck of the woods, this quarantine is rough but necessary. 

  • Back at ya, Vag... doing OK here.

    Here's hoping our teams are able to meet twice and in front of sold out stadiums.

    I hope so, I just ordered a Nick Chubb jersey... I've been waiting for years for the Browns to bring back jerseys worth buying, once they brought back the classic jersey I spent some of that stimulus check on one! ? I was going to get a personalized one, but the NFL won't make a lot of ex-players (not sure why) so I went with Chubb. Hopefully I'll be able to wear it this fall for games.

    You can buy a lot of former player jerseys on the Browns Store on this website, I believe.

    All you have to do is a custom one if you want old players that aren't produced normally. I've done it before with obscure players.

    But that's the problem, the guys I wanted I couldn't do. 

    I couldn't get 32 Brown, or 14 Graham, but could've got a 36 Motley, 44 Kelly, or 42 Warfield. It was hit or miss on players from the 80s too. The clincher on passing on the custom route was that for $150 I would get a jersey with screen printed numbers and letters for the names, which is a hard pass for me. I paid the same and got a Nick Chubb jersey with stitched numbers and letters. 

    I'm guessing a ton of the 70s Steelers players would be hard to get too, right? Plus, if you custom a Steelers jersey with an older player, you would get a jersey with the weird current number font instead of the traditional block number font the Steelers wore until the late 90s...

    You wont be happy when the analytics guys dont pay Chubb in two years.......

    Mind you Haslam will probably have Parcells as GM by then

    And that's why I hesitated getting a current player and was contemplating getting a Graham, Brown, Motley or Warfield. 

    But fuck it, Nick Chubb is the man, and I'll enjoy my four years with him.

    He sure is, expecting a huge year from him under Stefanski

  • First Steeler thread I came across so it'll do for this Big Ben tidbit...

    Read it due to the chuckle inducing comment on Ben's "conditioning" ... or lack thereof... but of more interest in the end was the fact that he's still rehabbing and is expected to be "semi-rehabbing" in Camp. Surprised me that he is not closer to being ready.

    Many people thought that it could be a career ending injury when it happened, so I'm not surprised at all. 

    He has never been the most strict athlete in conditioning terms, he has won 2 SBs and has had many injuries, so it wouldn't surprise me a bit if he didn't want to keep going.

    He had elbow surgery...even if he comes back in great shape that does not mean he will have the kind of arm strength and accuracy that he had before.  I recall that it was an elbow injury that pretty much put an end to Bernie Kosar's career,  and he was younger than BR is now, and he was not the Pillsbury Dough Boy that BR is.

    Given his past public musings on retirement I think it's easier to count those who would not be surprised.

    But it's been a couple years now since those comments and it seems something has changed. May be personal circumstance... he seems more grounded now... or it may be as simple as recent team and personal adversity is driving him to finish his career on a high note... or at least a higher one.

    Big ben post injury was never fat. His beard certainly gave that impression. He says he's pain free for the first time in years. He looks to be throwing darts to me.

    You mean Mr. Muffintop there?   I know, having a gut does not mean he can't throw the ball.  And I guess there is nothing wrong with you being a Pollyana about him.  I mean, you need to be, right?   Your backups are still the Duck guy and the Racist guy,  right?
