I think we should rest our starters this week so they are fresh and ready for the offseason.
Russell Failed His Audition
- Thread starter johnsteeler
- Start date
Since this thread is about Wilson a couple things I will say.
We brought him in because he was cheap.
I think many fans were enamored with the fact he had 26 TD’s 8 interceptions in 15 games last season in Denver. (First season in Denver 16 TD’s 11 interceptions) He ended up with 16 TD’s 5 interceptions with us in 11 games. He was pretty close to being on pace for his previous year. We scored 76 more points than previous season.
We wound up winning the same amount of games as the previous season with Pickett having a 6td 4 interceptions in season in 12 games. (What does this say?)
The big,big stat for the Pittsburgh Steelers offense is the RedZone stat. We ended up 29th in the league at 48.21%. The season before without our current 2 illustrious QB’s we were at the bottom of the pack again at 48.89%. Basically no improvement.
By the way……guess who leads the NFL at 74.24%? Hint. They play this Saturday night.
By the way….RedZone defense had us ranked 13th……Baltimore 12th.
Looking at the FA pool in the coming season it’s filled with a bunch of retreads. And according to the guys that know college on here,this class is not all that hot. Especially where we pick. The chatter before the season started was all we needed was a QB that had an average not too many turnover season. Which is exactly what we got.
We never truly synced this season. One game our offense was decent and our Defense sucked. Then our Defense would play a good game and our Offense would suck. Sure would like to see both come together Saturday.

This is why I’m very hesitant to blame the QB this team has had the most success with in the last three years, even if it’s been a mixed bag. The redzone and OL problems persist and the receivers are subpar as well.
Take Rodgers over KylerAccording to a story on this site we are getting Aaron Rodgers...so we will be whole next year.............
" Obviously shifting some of the 'crazy component' from the wide receiver room to the quarterback room should be on our agenda as we prepare for our 2025 journey. Aaron comes in with great pedigree, his resume speaks for itself. As I told Mr. Rooney in our meetings in preparation for our upcoming campaign ' Think of how much we'll save on COVID vaccines alone.' There's a fine line between squashing grapes and drinking wine, but Aaron has shown that squashing and taking your own herbs mixed with horse medicine is even better than those two things. And for those of you who think I'm leaving after securing the Aaron Rodgers victory: There isn't a COVID booster with a big enough syringe to separate me from Aaron......never say never, but never. And speaking of never separating: Where's Rooney with my check?"
Say what you want about Rodgers and his Covid opinions. Somehow he managed to survive Covid without any shots? it's a miracle!!
People are just pissed when someone has a different opinion and stands up to the man. They feel duped and I can't blame them.

We used to have a guy 84 (and befor him Santonio)who could always get open even when doubled AND a guy who would deliver the ball to him consistently. That is no different than Patrick and 87 in KC, Rodgers and Adams in GB, and so many other examples. We've had neither that WR nor that QB for a few years now. It's not just the QB, it's having a guy other teams MUST account for on every play. My hope was that George was going to be that guy.

George is talented but very flawed. He is an emotional basket case and not particularly reliable. He can be fantastic, but he quits on plays runs sloppy routes and doesn't play a professional game. If he played every play like he was getting the ball and ran clean routes he would be accounted for and would also get open more. Russell has a known height problem and teams have started using that against him as we are not consistently getting him out of the pocket to see the field. He can't handle the middle blitz well from the pocket, yet we keep trying.

Dude, the POS thinks that Sandy Hook was an inside job. **** him, Alex Jones and anyone else who believes, or tries to perpetrate, that conspiracy.

He's nuts. When someone argues against proven science they are clearly nuts or stunningly ignorant. Having said that, yes he can do what he wants and it has nothing to do with his QB play. I was just having fun.

Ray Lewis killed
Ray Rice beat his girl
Adrian Peterson beat his kid
Mike Vick had dog fights
Kraft and Watson got handjobs
Players used steroids
Ben maybe got too handsy with some women, maybe raped 1 or 2.
Etc. Etc.
These people aren’t role models
They play a game
I don’t look to athletes and celebrities for advice on life.
But my goodness, Trog.
The “tolerant” liberal wants to be the thought police now?
How does it affect you personally what someone else THINKS?
Can he ball or not?
Can he help our team or not?
Why am I supposed to care if he thinks the earth is flat?
Go to the other forum for such things and whine about Alex Jones and politics, you broken record.

Would McCarthy be worth it? I don’t know enough about him.
