As for performance, I think Cam is making up for past weak playoff performances as last week, for all intents and purposes, was a playoff game
Cam did play a great game last week.

Tonight the real test though.

I'm more inclined to "dislike" players who appear to be assholes personally, and I don't know that to be the case with anyone on the current roster.
Ben was called out for being an asshole. Did you have a problem with him?

Besides, unless you have a personal interaction with a player how do you really know if they are assholes or not?

I base my judgement on (1) their play and (2) how their actions impact the team.

Couldn’t care less if they are a choir boy or a dick off the field. Why would that matter to a fan?

Unless they are my neighbor or dating my daughter I suppose.

No, I liked Ben. For me, I guess I don't spend much time thinking about particular players being "likable" or not.

In fact, one of my biggest problems with art two was that he left Ben twisting in the wind before the draft in 2010, sending letters to season ticket holders, saying that all the Steelers weren't bad guys, the satisfied the shady side bistro crowd. I went on talk radio in Boston detailing how Ben physically could not have done what he was accused of doing in Milledgeville… Until they shut me down.

Ummm and yet you literally just said tend to dislike players that are assholes personally.


Said two different things. You realize that right?

I'm aware...it's called changing one's mind.

I realize you probably never do that, flawless human being that you are, but sometimes in the course of conversation, the other person, as you did, says something to cause one to rethink one's position

We basically have him—he’s called DK Metcalf.
I believe Arthur Smith would walk around with a giant hard on if he had both DK and AJ at WR
Quite contradictory to what you’ve been saying all year and last off season which was…

We don’t need a true #2 in this offense given Arthur Smiff’s fascination for using multiple TE sets.

Now he’d get a chubby over having two stud WRs?
The Steelers are a running team that loves big sets/multiple TE’s.

What I’ve been saying, if you look close is that this team doesn’t need a traditional #2 WR.

They need a #2 WR capable of becoming a #1 WR if anything happened to DK Metcalf.

The only WR I was interested in at the trade deadline (and I think Khan agreed with me) was Jaylen Waddle. Waddle is a 2 capable of being a 1.

AJ Brown and DK Metcalf are both 1’s and because of AJ Brown’s contract, there is almost no chance he’ll be traded but I think the Steelers would look real, real interesting with those 2 guys on the field if Rogers came back for another go round.

AJ, DK, CAIII, Outlier, Freiermuth, Warren and Gainwell?

I’ll take it end yes, Arthur Smith’s dick would stiffen at the thought.

Ah ok. In that case I find your answer acceptable.

Enjoy the game. I will if we (1) win or (2) get blown off the field.

Last thing I want is a nail biter last minute loss.
