OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Kansas City Swifts vs Philly Eagles

[Jaded-Fan]

Ooh big fight, big fight.

I will repeat what I believe I said two pages before -

The most important thing about this story isn't that it's true, but that a lot of people hear it and go "sounds about right".

Exactly.

Does it matter whether it's true or not? We all have seen it. So, it is an issue.

What changed is that other teams figured out Wilson

all of a sudden, after a decade in the league, teams figured out wilson?

yeah, not buyinh that. maybe if he was able to change the plays like in the first cincy game, he would have had more options on where to go with the ball.

He got figured out in Denver too, did you miss those two years? Steelers were able to mask his weaknesses for a few games against bad teams but better teams took advantage

The biggest difference in that cincy game was the dump off to Najaee and Warren over 200 yards yac because they were left alone

Also re all the stuff about Wilson's weaknesses and teams figuring him out -

Yeah, he's a very flawed QB at this point. Has been for a few seasons. But, much as Payton wanted to throttle him, he was still able to get a functional offence out of relying mostly on Wilson's arm. Whatever happened, i don't think Smith and the Steelers stymied a genius or ought with Wilson, but going run heavy wasn't their only option. Just the option they preferred despite being a bit shit at it.

I stand by Russ not being finished, but he definitely needs to be in the right situation to succeed these days. I think the Falcons could be a good spot for him. I also think ATL is the best place for Shadeur. They would be good together.

I also think he could be a big help to Richardson in Indy. And Indy can compete.

The article mentions it, but Glazer is as close to Tomlin as any reporter out there so if he’s saying stuff, I trust it more than most other reporters.

I love the part about this team preparing for the Super Bowl though. What do they have to prepare? Their menus for a Super Bowl party?

Atlanta has Penix. They aren't taking Shadeur.
