Was it last off season or two years ago when a video game out of Johnson and AB working together in an summer program.

Johnson said he would rework his contact. How much would he give up to play with a QB that has taken his team to the Super Bowl 3 times?

I am fascinated that intelligent Steeler fans have spent this much time discussing a possibility that doesn't exist in Steelerland.

He'd have to give up a LOT.

While that is true, what he would give up is money..... and a lot of it. For any of us, even considering giving away millions is absurd but for someone who already has all the money he could ever need (if he is smart about it), going to a contender with a real QB might be a reasonable trade off. Seriously, think about the QBs he's had over his career... Shaub was the best of the bunch but he has never really been top tier.

I don't think it would ever be the Steelers but I would not be surprised if he took a lot less to move to a team with a better chance to win.

Shit, we spend time discussing ridiculous bullshit all year round. It's part of being a fan-atic.

I think Bryant blocks him out so Bryant better bring something special.

Yep...Martavious Bryant! That's why Andre Johnson won't be a Steeler. :lol:

We couldn't possibly bear three WRs in camp over 6' tall.

We are taking 4 over 6 feet to camp right now.

If that ever happened St Vincents would implode and form a black hole which would slowly oscillate through the Earth's core.

technically, Cotchery was over 6" tall... 6004

I just want some physical players, on offense and defense. I know, as a defender, the scariest guys are the ones who you can cover perfectly and double team or whatever and they can still end up with the football-- especially in the end zone. The scariest defenders are the ones who can beat good blocks and who can beat you up.

These are the guys I want. We have a few, but this is not the current identity of our team.

You might be onto something

Just draft or sign 5 all pro WR's and your team will get better.
