Crystal ball actually.
You can see why Steelers are where they are
- Thread starter SteelerSask2
- Start date
I wasn’t singling you out Dino, by no means.
It was a tongue in cheek joke meant for all who add their .02 here.lol
I had to chuckle at your “ people are finally waking up and seeing the gaping hole at WR 2 and 3.
I am sure the mentioning of getting a WR 2 has been the most talked about thing on this forum for the last who knows how long.
The old alarm clock has been ringing very early and often on this site with regards to that topic. Cheers

Let JF cook!! They are going have to run fields on first and second down more. if they are going to start him they need to let him cook! Hes fine on third downs as long as it’s not third and long. The offensive line is so horrible so it’s hard to stay out of third and long. Let JF cook!!!

To be fair, he's had two 51 yard completions wiped out by penalty, and a promising drive shut down by 3 penalties from our supposed to be franchise LT playing out of position at RT. They still haven't found a way to use Muth consistently, and without a viable WR2, that should be a focal point. Pickens, Muth, then Jefferson and Austin. Both should be getting 8-10 targets a game.
Why not both? I'm the mindset of surround yourself with talent and play that talent. RW is a 1 year rental. We aren't paying him over $30M to be our QB, and he's looking for that type of contract. He's the better QB IMHO, which is why I want him to start when he's healthy, just not against the chargers front 7. Then when he starts, you have a Fields package for short yardage and change ups. This is what I want.
Same with Warren Najee, use em both! Keep em both healthy and fresh. IT's not an either or in either situation, it's the spoils of talent! This team has also done a killer job at restocking the ILBs, NTs, and OL which were terrible 3 years ago. Secondary is restocked and has depth with Trice and both safeties Edmunds and Kazee behind Fitz and Elliot. Sutton is coming back mid season to lock down the NCB, though Bishop is doing better than I expected. We're 3 deep at OLB. We're 3 deep at TE and RB, have 2 great QBs, 3 stud tackles. There really isn't a weakness on this team depth wise except maybe Center if Zach goes down because we already lost Herbig. That's it. That's all I see.
Steelers have done a tremendous job of restocking these past 2 years under Khan. Sure it doesn't matter where KC is drafting because they have an all time great HOFer at QB, so much like when we had Ben and were drafting late, it didn't matter because we had our HOFer. We don't have a HOF QB, and if we did, we'd be a powerhouse and SB caliber team yet again. Can Fields and or Wilson get us there? I think they have the potential, but we have to figure out a way to beat Allen and Maholmes in the playoffs to get that chance. And we had a tough couple decades going up against the GOAT Brady to get SBs.

I'd like to see them Run Najee's wheels off atleast until Warren is 100%, That makes too much sense for Tomlin to do.
We would have a punchers chance with a prime Ben but WR would still be an issue.
3 Stud Tackles? Thats a bold bold statement. A 50/50 Bust in Jones, yet to be seen. The guy who has played below average to downright turnstyle the past few years, and a young Rookie unknown.
The Cheifs and Bills have regressed this year or atleast it looks that way. Allen lost his top 2 WR, and KC is signing Kareem Hunt due to the Pacheco Injury. Its wide open in the AFC as everyone looks beatable if you get lucky. We have the Defense to get Lucky, I agree, I want to see Russ and have them Run with Fields, because under 20 points per game isn't winning in the playoffs.

Just for accuracy sake
Jones has not played for us the “past few years”.
Been here for 1.12 seasons approximately and was playing pretty decent even tho he was on the wrong side last year, a year in which he didn’t start the whole year either…it took Chuks sharting the bed to even get in there

The QB play, the O-Line, the running game ... the root cause of all of these issues is a certain someone that just received another 3 year extension.
But hey, it's that consistent, steady-hand thing that we always hear so many good things about.
Fans tend to jump to conclusions about players wayyyyy too early. Jones was drafted in the First because of his incredible athleticism and strength. He didnt go higher because he was extremely Raw as a prospect. He showed a high learning curve in college, he has a great work ethic and realistic attitude. He was bounced around and thrown to the wolves at RT while learning a whole new blocking technique last year and did fine... one hiccup game where he was being idiotically rotated in at RT after being flip flopped between LT and RT all preseason and suddenly he is a bust to the great unwashed...

They have run Najee 37 times already, that is more than some whole teams.
Yep some hate the wait and see approach but that is what it is until a significant time passes. Some would much rather be right than patient.Fans tend to jump to conclusions about players wayyyyy too early. Jones was drafted in the First because of his incredible athleticism and strength.

So much so, that is could be the making of a second Groundhog's Day............................................
Salute the nation
He isn't getting another contract, run him til the wheels fall off. He's been durable and a 3.8ypc RB is not hard to find if he were to get hurt.

A hiccup game where he is placed at RT with a bad right flipper, unfortunately guys tend to come towards his bad right arm when at RT, and ****** refs

Speaking towards the wait and see…
Moore who was forced into action early as a 4th rounder due to nobody else being on the roster seems to be getting, dare I say, good?
Is he gonna get paid? That could be scary if they actually pay him solid LT money. It’s only scary cuz they saw the sharter Chuks for years and deemed him worthy of a decent contract and he was mediocre at best…until he became a

Moore is just a subpar LT, hence the last couple first round picks.
No need to label him a sharthead. That should be reserved for overpaid, underperformed OL like Chuks

Does he, though?
One of the reporters on DK's YouTube channel claims the coaches have not been happy with the effort Jones had been exerting in practice.
Perhaps the elbow issue is contributing to that, or maybe after more than a year in the league, growing accustomed to those 100k's in the bank account has dulled Jones' drive a little bit.
I'm not saying that is the case with him, but it unfortunately does happen.
Regardless, he has clearly regressed from where he was last season.
