Even the hc is a dirtbag break the rules "player".

He condones dirty play. The whole rest of the NFL knows it.

He might become a Browns fan before you get a chance to move back.

It certainly was not my Dad that got me into being a Browns fan....it was just living here and having friends that were Browns fans.

And when the Browns start kicking asses and winning titles, that will seal it for him.

Yes, a FRAK is a FrontRunnerAssKisser. I am not of the opinion that you are one of those....but yes.....there are legions of bandwagon fans.....you admitted that.....why would you argue about it.

And how old is your son? Didn't you say like one or two?

Take my word for it....sons and daughters grow up and make up their own minds. And some of them are often rebellious....he may want no part of you shoving the Steelers down his throat.

Your son may be completely agnostic when it comes to football.....mine is.

Or he may become a FRAK for some other team. My daughter is now professing to be a Cowboys fan......for several reasons: A. Yes, she wants to be rebellious from her old man. B. She is a cheerleader, and she loves the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders....because of the cheerleading and not for the reasons you and I may like them. C. She now lives in Texas, in San Antonio which is about 75% Cowboy country and 25% Houston Texan country. So she is just going with the flow...when in Rome and all that.

So don't take anything for granted in that regard.

Well, absolutely you are probably better off with even unproven players in your DB than the two washups that were there.

And gee, yea, you are going to be drafting players. You think automatically that those players will step in right away for proven players that have gone to Super Bowls. It doesn't necessarily work out that way.

Tuitt replacing Keisel, sure I'll buy that.

I don't know about "best offense" in the NFL....but with Ben, Brown,Bell....when back... sure, they will be a good offense.

But what about this "ridiculous surplus" of LBs. I am actually going to allow that to be its own thread for discussion.

Gipper we had the number two offense last season and that was with Bryant in a spot role. Shark Thomas is likely starting at fs with Mitchell at strong. We do need another corner but I'm more than comfortable with Gay, Allen and Blake plus a rookie for the time being. I also said ridiculous surplus at middle linebacker. Timmons, Shazier, Spence and Vince Williams the latter of the two showed they were deserving of a lot of playing time. You can't start for middles but all 4 have the ability to start.

Edit: scratch that number two passing offense, number three total by ten yards per game.

Worilds was not going to be on our roster unless he wanted go play on a reasonable deal. We will be drafting another lb in the first or second round. A cornerback being involved as well. I'm hoping its Peters.

We drafted tuitt to replace keisel and he will. He's already shown he's ready to step up. We have a ridiculous surplus at middle line backer and I won't be shocked to see Shazier play some outside. We should have the number one offense in the NFL. Its a little more than just Ben and bell.

There are a lot of tickets locked up in business type accounts and apparently those people aren't going to the games as often as any self respecting steeler fan should. The season ticket waiting list is massive. If I got on it now at 32 I'd be lucky to get an email or phone call by the time I'm 42. Its not an exaggeration. A lot of fans would like to see those empty seat tickets released but that's a pretty slippery slope.

No, but I'll post from the realism shelter. Moo-moo retired, IIRC so did Kiesel & Worlds. IkeTaylor- who wouldn't have even made the Browns roster is gone. You will be relevant as long as Ben can stay in one piece, and Bell can stay out of doperville. .

So yeah- dammit- we're the STEELERS- we're just going to keep on pulling first round talent out of the fourth round forever- and I doubt it.

I mean, I know that the fan base is replete with FRAKs, but that is just the general dumb public out there. The real Pittsboigers I would not think would be that way. I mean that is smallish stadium.....only 26th among NFL stadiums in capacity. Why would not the true Steeler fans show up. Certainly there are plenty of them IN Pittsburgh......the FRAKs are usually located elsewhere. Just curious....is there an explanation?

Not the last time they played. 31-10 Browns. I really don't think that was much of a fluke.

It is just something about the Browns that they always choke in the latter part of a season.

being a steeler fan must be like being a fan of a gangbang street gang. Most of the NFL knows it.

now that the steeler secondary needs work, their war on women qb is going senile early, their offensive line is so bad,

I could get through them on our Honda 400 quad backwards without using the throttle....

It's going to be tough on them to find dirty cheapshot lowlife players to replace both Pollywannamumu and
Ike in this draft outside of the first round, when the new steeler motto is "ABANDON SHIP"

The Squeelers suck and will be irrelevant for many years to come. They only ever had success because they cheated, i.e. steroids and more recently HGH. Now that the NFL will test for HGH year round the Squeelers will find it much harder to get away with their cheating ways. They suck and will continue to suck until they can find a way to get past HGH testing. No wonder all of their old juicing geezers are jumping ship.

See, the Vag thinks because you make these statements that every Browns fan believes the same way....and he even attributes these types of statements to me.

Gipper you made me laugh with this one. The reality is I'm not interested in being mean to you. Your insults are bad, seriously. Bad. I disagree with you a lot because I don't believe you know the steelers AT ALL yet you act like you are some sort of expert. You've been wrong about that team in Pittsburgh the entire time I've posted here.

Your problem is that you confuse me with every other poster on here. Yinz complain that I say that "the Steelers are going in the tank"....yet I am not the one that says that. I point out the strength and weaknesses of the teams roster....and compare and say that the Browns have the overall better talent...which is true.....but they don't have the talent at the right positions (QB obviously)....and sometimes I say when they do have the talent, that better Browns talent goes off the deep end (Josh Gordon)....I point out areas of concern for you.....like the loss of your Hall of Fame defensive coordinator....which you seem to think is no big thing (yea, you can replace Big Ben with Gradkowski...but does he really replace him.....and you can replace LeBeau with Keith Butler...but does that really replace him? We shall see, that book is still open) Others have predicted the demise of the Steelers....I am the one that has said that won't happen as long as they have BR and LeBeau. So now the game is afoot to see how they will do without LeBeau. Like I said, we shall see.

Instead of the dick measuring I'd much prefer a intelligent discussion rather than the stupid back and forth.

Yet....every time an attempt is made by me and others to talk intelligent....you revert to Stupid Steeler fan mode and get defensive over every perceived slight that is made about them.

I respond to your bait attempts out of boredom and you either knowingly or unknowingly telegraph the hell out of them. I'm extending the olive branch. I have a one year old now, I don't have time for the stupid arguments. Do your research before popping off about the steelers, I'd be happy to discuss things intelligently.

I have done my research.....and have made my conclusions....and have stated them many times. Yet you want to have a tantrum any time I relate those conclusions.

Our offensive line is better than yours.

Our defensive line is better than yours.

Our defensive backfield is better than yours.

The LB corps are about equal...though the Steeler may have an edge (but with changeovers in the Steeler LB corps, that situation is under debate)

Your WR corps is at this point better (though if Gordon were to be on the roster and played like he is capable of I am not sure that would be the case)

Your RBs are better (but not necessarily if Bell is on the shelf)

The QB...the most important position on the field....goes without saying.

Beyond the QB....the most important advantage the Steelers have had has been the stability of the ownership and organization.

These are facts that everyone should acknowledge....so....lets have your tantrum.
