I'm not overstating the talent on this team or comparing Jarvis Jones to James Harrison. You are. In your attempt to try and flip the script on me you are trying to put your spin on what you would like to make me out to be. All I am doing is supporting the Steelers and being cautiously optimistic about the future. Will there be some pitfalls? Yes. But there is some really good talent on this roster. Some of you guys in you **** throwing daze fail to acknowledge that because it would ruin your bandwagon of arrogance.
LOL. Where's the PROVEN talent? It's not in the front seven, it's not in the secondary, and it's not in the running game. We're sitting on ONE receiver who's caught more than six passes as a Steeler; I guess that's a PROVEN strength too, right?
This is what I'm talking about. You want everyone to believe that guys like Jarvis and Worilds and Cortez and Wheaton are all an inch away from greatness, and we just have to be patient. As though it's established fact that every young player we have will break out any minute now. (I mean, that MUST be what you're expecting, that our young players are studly. Because the established vets are aging and losing steps.) Then someone gives a five-paragraph post that analyzes Jarvis' horrible game film and awful rookie season and points out our lack of pass rush, and they're told they're wrong, not a true fan, etc. "Of course we're loaded with talent!" Well, just saying it doesn't make it so.
I invite you to outline for me the sheer blinding talent all over our roster. Running game is poor, receiving corps outside of Brown is entirely unproven and in the midst of a complete rebuild, o-line has been **** for years and looked like **** again in the preseason, and every single level of the defense has looked worse than our worst nightmares. Ya know, just like it did ALL of last season, and much of 2012, and some of 2011. Run defense has been comically bad by our standards, and the pass defense gets shredded far too often. Very little pass rush. Little depth at CB. There are a few pieces I like - Heyward and Shazier, specifically - and Timmons is a semi-dependable player. But if you want me to believe our defense is just a nut hair away from greatness, I'm going to look at you like you're an idiot and ask where your confidence comes from.
But I'm not a real fan, because I don't have faith in the guys YOU have faith in.
You want so bad to be right about the Steelers being in quicksand that you won't even give credit where it is due when things turn around.
Some brilliant psychoanalysis there, but it's just your own ignorant bullshit. Tell me more about what's in my head, Doctor.
The only proof I need that your post is full of **** is that Dri Archer thread. That **** is ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. Show me a thread like that with posters calling every draft pick player a future Hall of Famer.
OK: the Dri Archer thread. That was quick. For every poster like me who claimed Archer would struggle to find a place in the NFL, there were about 8-10 posters who told us he was a faster Darren Sproles and would make our offense explode off the charts.
You do realize that there is this thing called progress and when it is not being made the team has to make moves to ensure that there is more made.
Right, and your problem is that I call out the lack of progress.
Mike Munchak hasn't even got to coach a entire season of OL for this team before you guys are ready to **** on these lineman and call them useless and unworthy of contract extensions.
LOL. We've seen the vast majority of this line play together for several years. Some have been around through, I've lost count: how many different line coaches? Yeah, any day now Marcus Gilbert and Ramon Foster are going to take the world by storm.
The majority of you guys aren't even giving rational reasoning to support your ranting. You're just repeating the same stupid drivel over and over about how awful player X is and how coach Y needs to be fired and how this team is headed for a **** storm.
I don't know where this comes from. I don't see much, if any, analysis or reasoning from the Cheerleader Club. The majority of "you guys" are doing nothing but spouting off one-line posts about how THIS is the year for Marcus Gilbert, or posting "I just tried to give you karma!!" every other post.
Keep on patronizing and being a dick. That is working out marvelously for you.
Doing fine over here, actually. I'm not the one whose whole world explodes every time someone calls out Cortez ******* Allen.
