Ehhh. While not amazing, Solder is better than mediocre. And that's just the price of LTs that enter free agency now. I'm sure someone next year will get an even bigger deal than him.

Drafting Lamarr Jackson over a qb you might have rated higher just because you already have another mobile qb on your roster is so incredibly dumb.

Also drafting a rb number one is never going to make sense financially.

What if, I don't know, Shazier actually wanted to walk out and announce the pick? Kinda overreacting and showing your steelers hate right now.

I mean did you also get upset when the little kid in the wheelchair announced a pick (forgot who it was for)?

Nah there isn't a point. This was clearly Shazier's idea. Are the Steelers supposed to tell him no, don't do something he clearly wanted to do?

Shazier has made quite a few public appearances over the past few months (Penguins games, march madness, Ohio state pro day). Maybe not solely his idea but he was clearly okay with this and wanted to walk out there. He isn't being exploited at all. Edmunds also isn't a replacement for Shazier at all. He's a hybrid type player in the same way as Deonne Buchannon.

Convenient that you ignore the bad calls against the Steelers (illegal block that should have been a personal foul, obviously ball changing direction off the browns player on that punt return)

Also, if I remember correctly, I said Jacksonville in the playoffs doesn't count as playing down, as they were a good team, and that Baltimore games are almost always close. Of course Steelers play down to lesser competition. Almost always lose at least one game on the road to a lower quality team. Steelering is an actual meme among steeler fans.

But thanks for bringing up my name for no reason. I haven't even posted in this thread since like the draft or something.

Oh yeah, the argument was that they were overlooking the Ravens when they played the Patriots the week after, when Ravens steelers games are almost always tough. I even admitted that they play down to their competition in that very argument. Cool though thanks

Except we don't. I've know for years the steelers play down to their competition. Every Steelers fan is worried about playing a bad team on the road.

You're misremember one argument we had last January about Steelers overlooking opponents when they play the Patriots the following week. I'll concede they probably did it in the playoffs, but that the week following the Ravens game that year doesn't count as Ravens/Steelers games are almost always close.

Won't give up a second rounder for Earl Thomas, won't give up a fifth rounder for Josh Gordon, gives up a first rounder for Amari Cooper

Or this is just the type of QB Derek Carr is... He is on pace for similar stats as last year where he was only sacked 20 times the entire season

And yet he has his best completion percentage this year, best ypa, and second best adjusted yards/attempt. This is the QB Derek Carr is.

And he was never gonna win the MVP over Matt Ryan who absolutely destroyed Carr in all stats, even if you take it at a per game basis.

sorry, stat im looking for is not air yards/attempt but adjusted yards/attempt. Don't think it makes much of a difference though.

Kaep has never proven to be able to run an offense that is not tailor designed around him. This is why he is not a backup. No team is going to bring in a qb who will need a separate playbook as a backup qb.

I do think he is being blacklisted. But take the idea that he probably isn’t back material, don’t know how much of a coach he can be (big part of backup qbs), he hasn’t played professional football in about two years, and the media circus that would happen when he is signed, it really shouldn’t be surprising that he remains unsigned.

If he's being blacklisted the bold can't be true but if the bold is true then he's not be blacklisted. There's a fine line between "teams don't want him b/c X reason(s)" and some conspiracy to keep teams from signing him. I feel like the biggest piece of evidence AGAINST his collusion case is that he was given an opportunity in both Denver and Baltimore and he burned those bridges. The NFL, as in life, has more to do with just being "good" but you also need interpersonal skills and I think he has 0 of those.

On the flip side, the biggest piece of evidence for his collusion case is that bad QBs do get to play. But coaches/gm's have egos and when they draft a pick they want to play him and hope he gets better with time and experience. See Jarred Goff/Mitch Tribusky, though I think most ppl think he(they) got better with a coaching change.
I don’t mean collusion when I say blacklist. I think some teams do not want anything to do with him cause of everything surrounding him, so they ante blacklisting. He has to show that at least two teams basically conspired together to not hire him. Which bad qb play can’t do. What I said wasn’t mutually exclusive.

Any nfl team can choose to not hire, interview, interact with Kaep for basically whatever reason. And any team with a qb injury is probably gonna go with their backup who knows the playbook rather than look for another qb midseason. Now yeah, Buffalo was a weird situation as they did signed both Anderson and Barkley.

Also, Izzy, Gabbert and Weeden are veteran backup qbs who probably understand their role and know how to simulate the current weeks opposing qb in practice. And the idea that the Texans would subject Watson to more plays with a higher chance of injury is asinine.

Also, just ftr, I think kaep is a pretty shit qb. His last year in San Fran was awful (yes I know the coaching situation was awful) but ever since teams started to figure out the read option I just don’t think he adds anything to any team.

I have nothing against what he is trying to do. I’m sure some teams want nothing to do with him due to the kneeling and everything. I just don’t think teams are actively colluding against him.

Since Bettis is in, Gore should absolutely probably make it in. Won't be a first ballot though.

Two games where we lost by less than the free scores the refs gave opponents now nice. Lose to chargers by 3, they got 14 free points. Lose yo saints by four, they get 7 free points.

And yet they won’t be fired
