OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Off Season We dont need a QB Edition

[MrBrightside]

I wonder how Kenny feels right now?

Trade demand email being drafted by his agent right now.

 

[Snooki Stackhouse]

Didn't the Browns choose Gabriel?

Something something that's Flacco's and Gabriel's and Deshaun's replacement not minds

 

[SomeDude]

That Cleveland QB room is hilarious.

...

Good trade for the Browns and all, but the Browns are still the Browns and can f*** this up anyway.

Browns.

 

[Pens x]

That Cleveland QB room is hilarious.

The Steelers’ QB room is empty

Haha Kenny Pickett

 

[SomeDude]

The Steelers’ QB room is empty

So is the Cleveland one, just in a different aspect.

We both have the same amount of legitimate starting QBs.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

The Steelers’ QB room is empty

Which is saying something when your QB room is more of a joke than the Browns.

The more I look at it, the more absolutely perplexed I am with the Browns picking him. What exactly is the plan here?

The pick investment is nothing, it's whatever, but you're taking Sanders as QB4 and as the 2nd QB you're taking in the draft? When it looked really apparent in the 1st-3rd rounds that you were planning on drafting a QB in 2026?

I think the idea is that they know they are going to suck so they are grabbing depressed assets at a reduced cost and seeing if one pans out. If not, they go 3-14 and pick someone next year. 5th round picks are 50-50 even make a roster, so it's not a big investment.

They’re gonna get a lot of internet clout, some people calling them smart, and most importantly a distraction from how bad they suck.

 

[JTG]

We should be drastically better against the run and we should run the ball drastically better. So there's that.

The issue is that they're not going to carry 4 QBs, so they're going to have to trade someone or cut someone they spent a pick on this year.

If this pick would have been made without the Gabriel pick in round 3, I think it would have made total sense. Take a flier on Sanders, have him sit as QB3 behind Flacco and Pickett and see if he can develop into anything. But drafting Gabriel in round 3 completely screws with that and it just seems like the Browns have no actual plan here.

 

[Snooki Stackhouse]

Berry looks absolutely f***ing miserable

 

[JTG]

DIllon Gabriel is a backup QB, and will be one for a really long time. I think they are going to utilize him to push Shadeur, because he will - Shadeur is way more talented. Guys like Gabriel are always valueable.

I don't disagree, and I tend to expect that if one of Gabriel or Sanders looks remotely competent, they'll dump Pickett during the preseason for a future pick or something.

Definite hostage video vibes. He wanted no part of that pick.

 

[JTG]

I think Jack Sawyer is a younger Elandon Roberts.

 

[JTG]

I love how Indy drafts. Taylor and Giddens with that line are going to be amazing.

 

[MrBurghundy]

Mel Kiper is losing his f***ing mind right now defending Sanders. It's embarrassing and hilarious.

 

[MrBrightside]

Kiper is absolutely flushing away any credibility he ever had with his performance this weekend. His level of offense over Sanders would be gross if he was a parent or agent, let alone an analyst.

 

[End of Line]

No sense watching any draft coverage from here on out since it’ll be a slobbering for 4.5hrs

 

[MrBrightside]

 

[JTG]

Ivey would be a good value for us.
