Glad we won't have the chance to draft his quitter.

Guy quits on his team in the middle of the game. I'm so sick of these types of players.

Yeah, I wouldn't draft that guy for nothing. What a ****** team mate and selfish self centered prick.

He only played to break some record,then quit at halftime. What a ********.

 

[SteelerFan448]

I think this was the plan for him all along. I would like to see him play the entire season, but I'm also not thinking Ward just said "I'm done" at halftime. Also, NFL do not care at all about this type of stuff. The Steelers took a QB in the first who didn't play in his bowl game. It's not like Pickett quit on the Steelers or anything...

Just looked this over ExUSAF.
Absolutely ridiculous. And an NFL team will reward Ward as a top pick in the draft. Too bad they don’t send these guys a message in the draft.

So….question. With all these college guys making big bucks now…..do they have the option still to opt out of bowl games or playoffs? Without severe financial penalties? If so it’s a total joke.

Is this a joke

Might have been the plan probably was the plan. Just not a good look. It screams personal agenda. I would tell the coaches I prefer to play or sit not somewhere in between.

As watching my team then go on to lose when I could have prevented it?

Not a good look.

any thoughts if Milroe falls or is there at 24-28 and we are on the clock, I see him as a more refined Fields as good runner but with the right scheme built around him could be a Lamar/Daniels/RG3 a fully committed RPO playbook and if Art JR steps in and demands MT to make some external hires to help the OL and build a system for eithier Milroe or if we Keep Fields. Eric Bianimi would be the perfect OC.
I see no creativity in our current oc same bs twin te 2 wr and predictable inside blast of Isaac and that crap Moore.
is it to much to ask to let russ go 4 wide with some designed slants and comebacks PA boot crossers

 

[Troglodyte]

Not sure why it’s any worse than not playing at all.

Hell farking no to milroe, he is going to be absolute garbage at the next level. He better start thinking about converting to RB now, because he's in for a rude awakening (him AND the sucker team that drafts him) if he thinks he can hack it as a qb

Reports were that the workload was preset wanting to get the new incoming QB a taste too while still allowing Ward a crack at the record.

Definitely a bad look though. Should’ve came out and set the expectations ahead of time for fans. I’m sure there were a lot of people wondering, heck some still are.

If Milroe were an option they should just look to resign Fields instead and use that early pick on a WR or DL

I look for Jacolby George to become a Steeler in this year's draft.

#1. His name is George
#2. He is an absolute head case
#3. He is extremely talented
#4. He will cost the Steelers a few wins with his antics.

He is the prototypical Mike Tomlin WR

of course you don't get why quitting on your team isn't an issue.

 

[Troglodyte]

of course you don't get why quitting on your team isn't an issue.

Only if you do it for a half, quitting before and missing the entire game is somehow acceptable? Of course you can’t explain that logic.

practicing leading up to the game allows your teammates to work with you, and you with them. there's a limited number of snaps available due to practice time. it's illogical to expect a backup to work with the first team for the same number of reps as the starter. especially at QB, when the experience of reading the defense in a "live" situation is different than film room/study and working on communication, timing and commanding the huddle are at a premium.

This is a league that gave dog killer Vick another chance. If you can win a game, they don't care

Dude.

So the meaningless bowl game is only meaningless if a perfectly healthy player decides to sit out the entire game. If the perfectly healthy player decides to sit out only the second half, the previously meaningless bowl game somehow now has great meaning and preparation leading up to the game is of utmost importance. FAIL.

 

[TimesAreChanged]

There is so much dumb ***** spread around here by some dum bass mofos starting with the Tomlin Derangement Syndrome Crew

And they will argue with you until they choke and die hopefully. You guys bring the level of discourse way down with your neverending bloody vagina soliloquy and it's bad for the board. Go get fked

 

[steel dino]

Ward cost me $$$…
Needed Miami on my three team parlay..
If he doesn’t quit … Miami definitely covers probably easily!

these days more than ever is difficult to bet bowl games..

Mostly due to your contributions.

Let's put this in a way you can associate through firsthand experience.

Which is worse.

1. You want to get frisky with your lady and she says "no"

2. You want to get frisky with your lady and she says "yes", but after 30 seconds of getting your dick wet she decides she is no longer into your lousy lay and bucks you off like a dry rag and reaches into her drawer of goodies and finishes while you watch in confused dismay.

get it now? No? not surprized. ...moving on

"meaningless bowl game" - to whom? well, aside from you and the other two quitters.
