Ok this Rodgers BS

[steelmann58]

I am personally done with the Bullshit with waiting on this has been. The Steelers are turning into a joke allowing AR to dictate this. Art and Omar to allow this is a joke. I am sure his Dad or Grandfather would not put up with this shit. I go with Mason and maybe Add Flacco but there is no way I want AR here or will I support this ego POS

[swissvale72]

I'm good with Mason..,finished the 03 season strong, can see over the LOS, 30 years old, not a drama queen

[bradshaw2ben]

You mean you’re good with Jalen Milroe at 1.21, cause that’s where this is headed.

[Steelafan77]

You mean you’re good with Jaxson Dart at 1.21, cause that’s where this is headed.

Fixed it for ya….

[steelmann58]

There will be no Qb at 21 book it

[CKSteeler]

If they don't sign Rodgers, they're taking a QB at 1.21.

[Who Dee Knee]

I can’t see a QB at 21. It will be a DL, likely Harmon or Nolen.

[swissvale72]

I'm actually expecting to read any day that Russ has re-upped with the Steelers. In any event, I dont think it's a QB first round.

[Steeldrama]

I'm actually expecting to read any day that Russ has re-upped with the Steelers. In any event, I dont think it's a QB first round.

The DK trade makes connecting the dots back to Russ fairly obvious, but I've read more than once that Artie Smith isn't a Russ fan so I'm HOPING we don't run that back.

I share the belief a round 1 qb is in play with Bibberty starting a few games before they thrust the rookie into the spotlight.

However, another fantastically bad scenario exists

The morning show yee-haws here in greater Atlanta lead by former Falcon Brian Finneran spent their first segment pontificating about what teams would be dumb enough to trade for Kirk Cousins. They spoke of a report from someone named Josina Anderson that the Falcons could get a 3rd round pick for Kirky.

Man, the sick little bastard in me hopes Tomlin pulls that trigger.

Could you imagine?

Going into the draft with the Steelers only having their 1st round pick to address multiple positions of need?

Then burning that lone asset on the hysterical crier, Jaxson Dart or the running back, Jalen Milroe?

Those of you wanting the end of NHALS and Tomlin should be rooting hard for Cousins in Pittsburgh

[bradshaw2ben]

You mean you’re good with Jaxson Dart at 1.21, cause that’s where this is headed.

Fixed it for ya….

I'll bet you a case of beer there is no way in hell they draft Dart with Milroe on the board. Zero fit for their offense nor what the HC said he specifically is looking for in a QB.

[bradshaw2ben]

If they don't sign Rodgers, they're taking a QB at 1.21.

Yeah, this is what I think. Hell, they may even draft a QB at 1.21 IF they sign Rodgers, seeing it as sort of a one year deal.

As I said, we're going to find out who has the balls in the org to stand up to Tomlin. We're also going to find out if anyone in the org has a clue about QB evaluation and drafting.

I really see this as Tomlin's going to be all about adding a QB to this glorious team I have that can win a SB if it only gets this one piece, and Wiedl being more like my thinking of: no point in adding a bad QB when you still have a long ways to go in building the team, especially the trenches.

Since we have a Khanlin dinner with Milroe. Hope the QB coach is really good because drafting a QB that can't throw is a huge risk.

Alabama QB Jalen Milroe had dinner Tuesday with Mike Tomlin, Omar Khan, and QB coach Tom Arth, per

i did miss where Tomlin said he wants a QB that is a bad thrower of the football. That is a fit for what offense exactly?

I would not touch an Alabama QB. They have sucked shit in the NFL ( unless they go to a finishing school like Hurts).

“The x-factor that quarterback mobility is in our game and is trending and has been trending,” Tomlin said to reporters on January 14. “That is not a new discussion.”

"Man, quarterback mobility is valued."

Since the beginning of last season, Tomlin has obsessively talked about how mobile quarterbacks are changing the game.


“I’m not blaming it on anyone or anything,” Tomlin said via Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I just think particularly in today’s game, when you talk about stopping the run, you better acknowledge the defeating of blocks and making tackles. Quarterback mobility is a more significant part of the game than it’s ever been in today’s game.”



Tomlin also said the league-wide yards per rush attempt last season (4.3 yards) was one of the largest in history.


“It wasn’t because teams are running the ball more effectively, it’s because they are utilizing the quarterback as a runner,” Tomlin said. “Now you’re playing 11-on-11 football, so do the math. Guys have to defeat blocks to make tackles in today’s game to be effective at stopping the run.”

It's the ONLY thing Tomlin has said he values in a QB, and he's been saying it over and over again since Ben retired. Maybe we should believe him.

Look, Milroe is going to be unreal as a QB runner. If he lasts in the league long enough, he will break every record for QBs running, including LJ8's. He would be in the convo for best RB in this draft class, which theoretically has a future HOFer in it.

But, yeah, throwing it? Making a big play with his arm with the game on the line? Wow, no.

Tomlin is playing possum (for a change.)

If they wanted Jalen Milroe, they could have signed Justin Fields early and been done with it.

Mason is a better person and a better mentor for a guy like Dart. Rudolph is the perfect back up QB to help a kid like Dart who has arm talent and can read defenses, to thrive.

Don't buy Tomlin's bullshit here because unless they trade down, they aren't taking Milroe who will be around in the 2nd round.

Dart very likely won't make it out of the first.

I saw a report that was analyizing Milroe and concluded that he stands like a RB rather than a QB when he is trying to throw the ball. i'll see if I can dig it up

I have no problem with the Milrose pick for must see TV. Does this preclude them from drafting another QB in 2026?

Could rebuild the DL trenches with 2 round 2 DL picks and then for the OL, poaching Jeff Stoutland from the Eagles to inject life into the O-line, which would probably be better than any O-line draft pick. And then wait for the clock to run out on you know who.

Dart can read a defense? C'mon, man. The Mississippi offense is super idiosyncratic and made for easy, open throws for him. He wouldn't be seeing anything like that, in a theoretical pairing with Arthur "Neanderthal" Smith and Mike "Risk-Averse" Tomlin.

[Orangesteel]

I don’t disagree, Wil, but did Tomlin come to that realization AFTER he acquired Wilson? I’m with you in that I feel like Tomlin has been commenting on QB mobility for years and the desire to get someone that possesses that.

So why did Tomlin go Wilson over Fields? By all reports that was 100 percent Mike’s choice, even to the chagrin of Arthur Smith. If he wanted a mobile QB he had one on the roster that just led the team to a 4-2 record.

So we switch to Wilson? Was it a promise he made Russell that he felt he had to keep? Was it some kind of Christian brotherhood thing? Was it because he finds Ciara attractive?

I don’t think Mike Tomlin even knows because if he’s not talking out of his ass then something is wrong. He’s a dummy and he’s ruined this franchise.

My lipmus test is when a college QB MUST play heroball. Must put the game on his shoulders and Dart fails that one on his throws and his decisions. I would not take him in the 1st. nor would i take a QB that can't throw but I think that is where we are going. No Khanlin dinner with Dart which is telling.

[tbsteel]

I really see this as Tomlin's going to be all about adding a QB to this glorious team I have that can win a SB if it only gets this one piece, and Wiedl being more like my thinking of: no point in adding a bad QB when you still have a long ways to go in building the team, especially the trenches.

Exactly. I would kill for some behind the scenes stuff because I think this year more than most will have a lot of internal dispute on how they should go.

I think your read on it is dead-on. Tomlin is desperate and thinks he can save his sinking ship.

[Ice]

Going into this year's CFB season, I had some slim hopes that Milroe might develop a little as a passer under DeBoer, because he has a decent track record for it. It didn't happen, he got worse.

That said, I could see that pick happening. Hopefully a few of us picked up the device insurance plan with our TV sets.

I always watch the draft on my $250 Roku TV in the basment, not the expensive one in the family room

since Milroe has hit the Steeler Trifecta of pre draft meetings, they are all but drafting him and might even trade up which will cost me a TV.

I'll be on spring break, so I'll hopefully be buzzed enough to find it funny by the time 1.21 rolls around Thursday night.

I think it’s a little desperation but mostly driven by ego. Maybe 60/40 ego to desperation.

Okay how is Milroe different than Fields? Why would Mike Tomlin only now finally realize the importance of a mobile QB?

I’m not buying it. If they signed Fields and no other QB’s, I could see Milroe being the pick. They would complement each other.

Rudolph and Milroe is just weird (and you know Mason would begin the season as the starter.)

Where did anyone read or see Tomlin is desperate?

MOST fans of the Steelers are probably desperate (I'm not)

Omar Khan might be desperate since he holds the GM "title."

Uncle Artie might be mildly desperate fi he wants to keep coaching in the NFL (it's not a money thing with daddy being a billionaire)

Deuce is in a coma-like stupor so we know he's not "desperate"

Yep, Tomlin SHOULD be desperate, but I promise you he's not (NHALS not ending a priority but not a stressor)

If anyone can be PATIENT it's Tomlin (the whole more job security than the pope thing).

If he were desperate HE wouldn't have low-balled Justin Fields and Sam Darnold.

Desperate isn't offering Aaron Rodgers a contract, it's just the cold reality that there's nothing else out there.

It's the same tired story in the NFL, too many teams/not nearly enough QB talent.

He knows what he will get with Fields ( one read QB throws a crappy deep ball) vs the possibility of Milroe. Rudolph is a better QB to tutor Milroe than Fields. Milroe needs to learn to throw the ball with the correct mechanics. He does not need lessons in running the ball.
