Gabe Davis

[blu]

With the Steeler wr core, a bit lacking today, perhaps they could sign Davis at league minimum as the Jaguars will still be paying him big bucks. Davis won't be ready for the start of the season but for the million dollars or whatever - he still seems like a good signing.

No thanks, he's cooked and has terrible dropsies

He had a shit year in Jacksonville but Trevor Lawrence has been a massive disappointment and I'm not blaming last season on Davis.

The year before that, in Buffalo, Davis had 45 catches for 746 yards (16.6 ypc) and 7 TD's.

One year earlier Davis had 48 catches for 836 yards (17.4 ypc) and 7 more TD's.

Davis' 4 years in Buffalo he had 27 TD catches. That's excellent.

I agree that he has issues with drops, but he's EASILY the best free agent out there at the moment and I expect the Steelers to most definitely pursue him.

Beggars can't be choosers and Davis would be a major upgrade over what we have in Pittsburgh after DK Metcalf.

[bradshaw2ben]

Without exaggeration there are 3-4 WRs in the UFL who would be nice additions to their roster.

While I'm sure you're correct, the Steelers need a starting WR. Immediately. I'm rooting for Roman Wilson to take the next step and I love little Calvin Austin, but right now, neither are real options to start opposite Metcalf.

While I'm sure there are some talented players in the UFL that might land in the NFL, I seriously doubt any will be starters on any team in the near future.

The Steelers need to find a dude capable of taking attention away from DK and since the draft is over, the pickings are real slim.

Honestly I would call the Packers. They had 4 promising young guys last season (youngest WR corps in the league) and those dudes took turns making big plays for Jordan Love. Sure, there were struggles but literally all of them have major upside.

In the draft, they added Matthew Golden and Savion Williams.

Holy fucking shit. Both those dudes can play and will play plenty next season. That means a few young guys in Green Bay might be expendable.

[steelmann58]

Hard pass on him his best day behind him

[CKSteeler]

If you are going for a cheap vet WR, go for Amari Cooper. He's a year removed from a 1200 yard season with shit at QB.

[Charles Demarr]

One of my favorite players over the last 10 years is available....Keenan Allen.

He put up great numbers with a rookie QB last year. Assuming Arod is the QB, Keenan would be a perfect fit.

[cop1211]

I’ll take Cooper.

The concern for me is, will a player like Allen actually see play time?

We all watched with frustration the addition of Williams as he rode the bench. It was an absolute disappointment.

Not because of Williams but because of the baffling decisions made from the coaching staff.

I’m assuming the Woods signing was done using the same approach anticipating the Pickens trade?

That said, I am in favor of Allen as well. Little long in the tooth but can still be effective IMO.

[Ice]

So, we've got the bigger, stronger (faster?) more mentally stable Pickens in Metcalf. If we're going by the last successful offense run by Artie Smith, that's our AJ Brown. The WR2(s?) on that offense were eminently forgettable. The TEs stood out. The RB got to shine. I actually like our TE room a little, and maybe the WR room is exactly as bad as they wanted it to be all along, just with a non-problematic WR1? I mean, could the current QB room, given some pretty serious O-line improvement, not produce a Tannehill-level starter? RB seems like an improvement by subtraction (the obvious), addition (Johnson and Gainwell) and keeping Warren around.

If (and it's a big IF) O-line improvement happens or not is the indicator I'm looking for this season. Get that fixed, build the front seven on D, and we'll see what happens.

[bradshaw2ben]

If they know Rogers isn’t signing, I expect them to add a WR based on blocking ability. That would mean Gabe Davis… a very good blocker.

and we have finally reached the Intended Place -- if we do things different this year it will All Change.

Guess what -- it wont.

I've shifted to a new fear: that they will finally have a losing xeason, get in a great position to move up, will use the acquired capital to move up in the draft for a QB... and then bypass a great choice in favor of a mediocre one from a familar school. Like, I'm not ruling out feelig differently about Allar but picking Allar with LaNorris Sellers on the board or something of that ilk.

Why is Allar even being talked about as a 1st Round Pick? He continually comes up small in big situations and always looks like a deer in headlights. No thanks unless I see massive improvement.

I was wondering the same thing. We got Howard in the 6th. What has Allar done in comparison to Howard that elevates him that high? Are we just looking at what he did at Medina HS?

[Burgh Nike]

Will Howard is outstanding value in the 6th for a team willing to develop a pocket passer. He also showed more wheels at K-State than his Buckeye stats would lead onto.

The rage in football as of now is for running, not just mobile, quarterbacks. Allar has some ability to run, and was elite in 2023 taking care of the ball. He looks like a 3rd round prospect at present. Maybe 1st round, but he'd have to up his running game status this next season.

[steelmann58]

I am in no way wanting AR here not needed at this point. I would not root for him at all

As long as the offensive mental midget Jibba Jabber is running the show this is a VERY high probability.

They will fuck this up. Settle in folks. This team isn’t winning shit for a while.

Stop saying things like this
I would quit the Steelers on the spot if They did that

And will Howard will not be Our answer … folks need to get that out their heads now. Unless of course you enjoy the current state of the Steelers

[Steel Bingo]

If the Pickens trade has opened up a roster spot, then adding an additional running threat like say, Nick Chubb, has appeal.

Even sending one of next year’s draft picks to the Titans for Will Levis could be intriguing. Maybe he would be enthusiastic about trying to break out as the dual threat weapon that Kordell once was from the QB position during the Slash days, minus the receiving obviously.

[steelmann58]

have to think the xeelers need to draft an WR no matter what omar thinks.

Dude you realize that he literally played better than Mason Rudolph... for the same Titans team, with the same offense, same receivers, same OL.

Yeah, but if you take away his long pass...

[tbsteel]

KC needs to take off a few years from discussing QBs. Maybe start off with long snappers and then work his way back up from there.

They both suck but Levis did not outplay Rudolph. Check out the success rate, sack rate, NY/A and ANY/A columns.

Levis played more games with missing OL and a lot of those Rudolph stas were in mop-up duty. Let's put it this way: Neither outplayed the other. You could make an argument Levis took sacks more often, but Rudolph was no prize in that department, and only one of those two QBs has a chance to get better. Rudolph is WYSIWYG at this point.

Um...wut?

Rudolph had 9 TD passes and 9 picks.
Levis had 13 TD passes and 12 picks.

Mason went 1-4 as a starter.
Levis went 2-10.

Their completion percentages were about the same (Mason's was a little higher.

Mason was sacked 11 times.
Levis was sacked 41 times.

How in the fuck did Levis outplay Rudolph? They were both terrible for a bad Titans team, but Rudolph has a winning record as a starter in the NFL.

That is never going to happen for Will Levis. Mason has carved out a career as an NFL back-up. The Steelers are in trouble if they have to rely on Mason to be their starter long term and I've been saying that since he was re-acquired.

Will Levis hasn't even looked good enough to be a career back-up. Dude is terrible.

[K_C_]

I should add that while Will Levis started the Dolphins game Tennessee won, he got hurt early in that game after going 3 of 4 passing for 25 yards and an INT.

Rudolph played 3 quarters of that game and while his stats were unimpressive, he had zero turnovers and the Titans got an easy win vs the Dolphins.

Levis had 2 wins as a starter but Rudolph had a lot more to do with that Miami win and it sure as hell wasn't in mop up duty.
