OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: No 3peat for the Swifts

[Miserable4Misa]

I think Tai Felton is a name worth following due to Tomlin's close relationship with Locksley.

 

[xlm34]

Dominos.

I wasn't even aware that Smith was even considered a trade candidate.

He is 35 maybe Seattle didn’t want to extend him at a 3 year deal

 

[MrBrightside]

Doesn't change the number of teams in the QB market, but still significant as the Raiders seemed destined to get one of Russ or Rodgers.

"QB of the future"

 

[xlm34]

Lotta smoke about Darnold to the Seahawks. I think it goes:


Raiders: Smith
Seahawks: Darnold
Giants: Wilson/Rodgers + Draft
Jets: Fields/???
Steelers: Wilson/Fields
Colts: Daniel Jones

I dunno. If Fields was hoping to play teams against each other in free agency I don’t know if this was good for him. This also could push Sanders to the Jets or further down.

I suppose when you hire a 74 year old coach, it may fit

 

[Miserable4Misa]

34 year old qb of the future. Carroll thinks he coaches the Penguins

Not sure Jones leaves Minnesota he has a real chance to start if JJ isn’t ready.
I don’t know if Sanders doesn’t get past Cleveland at 2. I think you see 3 QBs in the first 3 picks with someone trading up to Tennessee. Giants could trade 3 to 1 get ward and jets take Dart by trading up to 3, Tennessee needs players

Any team taking Dart in the top 5 should be relegated to the UFL.

What is your obsession with Dart

 

[bigdaddyk88]

What is your obsession with Dart

I don’t have any obsession with Dart. Qb get over drafted by desperate teams every year some people feel Dart is the 2nd best qb in the class

 

[bigdaddyk88]

League is full of draft busts which are overdraft QBs

 

[MrBrightside]

I’ll bet you eleventy billion dollars that Dart is not selected before Carter or Hunter.

If Tennessee trades down itis extremely possible. Titans could trade down end up at 6 and still draft one of those 2. Pats at 4 need o line help. The giants reportedly like Dart better than Sanders

 

[JTG]

If someone drafts Jaxson Dart before Abdul Carter, I want to know how they got to their job.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Really seems like Fields is gone to the Jets

 

[JTG]

That will be so unfortunate. I hope he puts up top 5 numbers next year where ever he goes.

 

[Smoke]

This franchise is a joke

 

[bigdaddyk88]

Really seems like Fields is gone to the Jets

If he wants to compete with Taylor instead of having pole position here go ahead.

I think that is very possible but some of the tweets last night also read like a copy and paste from his agent. So I also think there’s a little posturing going on to try to get the Steelers to up their offer.

Also if the Steelers say screw this and pivot to Russ, he’s kind of screwed as far as creating some bidding war. If he wants a path to start the whole year, and the Seahawks go Darnold, pretty much his only choice is to take what the Jets offer and hope they don’t draft a QB.

 

[bigdaddyk88]

Guy had 10 tds in 6 starts here and got worse each start no need to cry over spilled milk if he leaves

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

This franchise is a joke

If both Fields and Wilson leave, it will create a beautiful mess.

Losing five QBs in a calendar year would be some kind of NFL record. I can’t recall anything that bizarre ever happening.

I want the chaos and uncertainty. I want them scrambling like fools.

This will convince them more than ever to make a big move for a QB next season.

All aboard the Minshew express!

If he wants to compete with Taylor instead of having pole position here go ahead.

Word is he doesn’t like the assurances he was given for a clear path to starting - translation: he doesn’t trust Tomlin.

 

[JTG]

I'd love to see what this offense looks like with a RB that has some consistent pop. I really like Giddens, but I'd also love to see them land a guy like Henderson who could do something with the ball in his hands every time. This line is setting up perfectly for a running like him, or really any of these backs. Our IOL is going to be top 5. It all really hangs on Fautanu and Jones.
