You don't consider putting Fields on the KR team if there's even a remote expectation he could beat out Wilson. The chance they plan on trying to make Fields Slash 2.0 are considerably higher than Fields being the starting QB. Wilson is at best, the 3rd best QB in his own division and by far the ol...

KC- Who returns (or doesn't) will be more of a function of Wilson's play vs Fields, just due to the number of snaps I predict he'll get. Wilson has to be Trubiski levels of bad for them to turn to Fields. At that point, it's obvious Wilson won't be around the following season. If that comes to fruit...

- I’m not a big fan of comparative context when it comes to the Steelers. I expect them to be a competitive team and do well. I expect them to be Lombardi competitive more than many teams - Largely I think the Steelers have underperformed at the WR position given how they typically approach it and ...

If Aditi was a poster here, her track record would probably be dead last. Even worse than a few of the trolls, and that's saying something

I feel like she posted something about Ben in his last couple of years that were completely wrong. Can't remember exactly what it was

Yes, Wilson is on a one-year deal and Fields was practically free. Nice, convenient option value when you had no 2nd or 3rd string QB on the roster. So I don't think there was any grand plan to make Fields a starter. It's only after CHI dropped the asking price, to basically nothing, that they took...

Joe Theismann did it 50 years ago, punt returner.

Didn't Mark Malone do that too?

Forgot about that, I had to look it up. It looks like it was 1 KR in 81.

I think he also did PR duties too. Believe he tore his knee up while playing WR if memory serves...

Very surprising (in a good way)

Don’t forget to add Kevin Dodson and Kendrick Green, who were both drafted and so poorly developed, they were sent packing Where they have subsequently become starters and performed either very well or exceptional with their current teams It's more along the lines that they weren't developed, it's ...

He's 23. Given COVID and all of that, I can live with someone turning 24 mid-season. There is another way to look at this. Not everyone he was facing was young. COVID created a lot of older players in college football and so that is a factor. Also, I don't mind an older player IF the extra year mak...

Love stories like this. This kid was waking up at 3:30-4 in the morning to get on a plane to fly to a different island on Hawaii just to get to school. He'd finish his school day, have football practice, stay late for extra work, then get a ride back to the airport and fly back home. Then do it all...

Okay guys, given the magical power of hindsight, who would you have drafted in the spots the Steelers drafted this past weekend? My choices: 1.20: Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU 2.51: Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia 3.84: Payton Wilson, LB, NC State 3.98: Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S, Texas Tech 4.119: Isa...

Forgot about Lowry. Journeyman depth. Still feel like we need one more that is more impactful.

I don't think we'll go for Boyd anymore since we have Roman Wilson

Agree- I think the WR ship has sailed. They'll focus on the Dside of the ball in FA: Dline, Slot CB, Safety

They need DLine help big-time.

The garden gnome WR from Georgia. I think McConkey will go pretty quick once the second round gets underway. Being that their aren't many quality larger wide receivers left, if the Steelers don't shock everybody and pull off a trade for Brandon Aiyuk, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them pull...

I will sprint to the podium for a trade down

That's where I was last night: hoping for a trade down. Such a deep draft where you can get another pick? Hell yes

Still open to a slight trade down in R2

I'm only an hour away from Detroit but I heard there were like 200k people there. While it'd be a unique experience, I don't like dealing with all that nonsense (get off my lawn)

Glad you're having an awesome time!

So much for diversity....
DEI is only something that is good when it is good for the bat shit crazy.

I mean that's the lot of it. "Rules for thee, but not for me"

That freeze frame of him against the Bucs. Where he stares at a wide open WR in the end zone, goes to another read coming open, but inexplicably decides tucking the ball and running into a sack 3 yards up field. That's called Picketting. Exactly what I was going to say. I guess the difference is th...

Let’s get a few things straight in this bs thread lol 1. Coaches DO NOT discuss trade talks with players and they have every right not to. 2. Pickett sucked. He not just horrible. He was horrible on a historic level. He was given a long leash and was mostly a failure for 2 years 3. Going into Picke...

You forgot to repeat the unfunny bone spurs joke for the 300th time. If you believe that Trump meant anything other than economic consequence from "bloodbath" then there is no hope for you.
