Gorka Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 After decades of predicting, hoping, praying to God that the stealers will suck, I think this will finally be the year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Getting a comp third for bell. The steelers have their second, third round comp, two 4ths and I believe a 6th and a 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

But as I said, it is within the realm of possibility that the Bengals beat them. In fact, Rudolph seems like he could be a bit similar to Andy Dalton. Both from Big 12 schools. Both big ole white guys. Not dissimilar in style of play. And note this: now, the AFCN has 3 QBs from the Big 12 starting for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

The Gipper Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 By the way, per the depth chart, the Steelers backup QB is now a guy named Devlin Hodges? Anyone ever heard of this guy?

I bet he's better than the newly added Lynch. You never know when an unheralded, undrafted QB makes some news. Certainly not often though.

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.
