If the Steelers had spent Ben’s whole career drafting to build a team around him and letting him play to his talents from the get go, maybe he wouldn’t have been resistant to wasting draft picks on shitty QBs.
Not gonna disagree!

Milroe looks like absolute garbage as a passer at the Senior bowl. It is pretty bad to watch.
Ya but Jibba is only looking at how he runs.

Has likely already jizzed his pants over it.

Expect us to race to the podium
Milroe is showing arm strength but he can't hit the broad side of a barn. Tomlin may love his life story though so who knows.
Worked out for the Bills.

This the same Milroe who's underthrowing deep balls at the Senior Bowl practice? I don't see the Quarterback in that guy. Seems like a good kid and I hope he makes a lot of money before they figure out he's not a QB.

Oh, I don’t think Milroe has prayer in hell to be Allen. I’m saying if there’s a prospect with elite tools, but also accuracy problems, you might want to take a gamble.

Allen is the unicorn that lures teams to QB hell. Wil Levis and Anthony Richardson are the latest high draft picks lured in.

Could probably include Caleb Williams to that list. I don't think he's got the brains. Time will tell if Ben Johnson is a QB whisperer.

The scary part is Fields was a more mature passer coming out of college than what Milroe is showing. IMHO, Milroe's floor is below Fields.

Trade for Joe Milton. It probably takes 1/3 of the draft capital to get Milton compared to Milroe and Milton has way better tools.

Hard no on Joe Milton. Watched him play a ton at Tennessee. The guy is inaccurate with no touch. If you're going to take any young guy, go for Hendon Hooker.

Did you watch him play ... in the NFL? He looked like a reborn QB. I'm a big fan of his QB coach. Maybe some of the coaching stuck. Hooker was a much, much better college QB than Milton... but that doesn't mean he's a better NFL prospect. He's also 2.5 years older than Milton, with a significant injury history.

Be interesting to see what the Pats do with Milton. In limited time, I'd say he flashed as much as Maye did with the time each had factored in.

You guys are looking for a unicorn. An athlete that can run and throw accurately, with a big arm, isn't lasting past 10.

The question then is can Tomlin & Co. spot a real, raw talent? And the better question is can they develop him? And, finally, can he survive their caveman offense without destroying his confidence? Obviously the answer to all 3 questions is a resounding "NO".

Just say not to QB until Tomlin is gone. Maybe a late round pick that rots the pine for 2 years can be resurrected if Tomlin is gone by then.

This is where I am. Dumbest thing the team could do right now is give Jibbs another 1st round QB.

Sign Fields, pair with veteran back-up, take a later round QB to fill out the QB room.

Ride that till this cunt is gone.

No way his opinion on QBs nor his ability to develop one can be trusted.

What’s up with this Elgersma dude? Is a late mid rounder worth gambling on that guy?
