OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Steelers need a new ball thrower for the handball game thingy

[Factorial]

all the more reason to trade mt. kp would safely be the starter with rudy as back up.

This is a take I never expected to see.

 

[lastcupever75]

The 2000 ravens you said 25 years. Denver with manning making the correct checks at the line hid his terrible o line. Giants with Eli are probably the worst offense to win a super bowl

I didn’t say anything. Someone else asked you that question.

The ravens had future HOF Jon Ogden playing LT that year so I’ll ask you again.
What are you basing your opinion of them having a bad OL on ?

 

[Andy99]

I believe KP will be starting no later than the third game…I think Tomlin wants to start him but may defer to others saying let him watch and learn a little…Steelers don’t see themselves as rebuilding and KP is the best QB on the roster…no question there’ll be some growing pains but he’ll also win more games than starting Trubisky or Rudolph would imo…

 

[Shrimper]

With 0 expectations on the team this year I feel it's going to be a lot more fun to watch than in the past

Home against the jets after a third nite game.
I’ve got that one labeled for him to start as well

 

[The Old Master]

I wanted them to draft no one but KP since Feb, and even I wouldn’t take that risk.

Maybe the off-season if KP shows well, but still need a good backup.

high risk - high reward

 

[Peat]

high risk - high reward

What's the reward though? What's going to boost Pickett's development about getting chucked in now instead of 3-8 games, and who's going to give anything of worth for Trubisky?

 

[Andy99]

Trubisky ain’t it…holds onto the ball too long…Steelers should start KP

 

[MayorofWBS]

That stink you smell is our OL. They are just awful. Easily one of the worst if not THE worst in the NFL. What a pathetic unit....

it’s bad but Trubisky will have less success with it than KP…again, KP is the best QB rn for the Steelers

Don't worry...this OL is going to get QBs (yes plural) hurt.

 

[Andy99]

Harris also is not explosive…when your Oline can’t hold blocks, you need someone who is quicker and can make people miss more…

Nice throw and catch there by DJ

 

[Empoleon8771]

There is no way that Trubisky isn't starting for at least half of the season unless he plays himself out of the role.

 

[wheelz87]

what’s the over /under on Moore holding pens this year? Hammering w/e the over is

 

[Common Sense]

Dan Moore is just absolutely awful.

 

[Andy99]

he’s only thrown one nice ball so far…
moore and Dotson suck…

 

[OnMyOwn]

Dan Moore is just absolutely awful.

He’s gonna get a QB killed.

 

[Andy99]

I love how the decision makers that be have our left tackle as Moore and no one else can even start at that position…I don’t even know who the backup is there but he must really suck

 

[Peat]

Guys I know I'm going out on a limb here but maybe you know the offensive line might be a bit of an issue

I love how the decision makers that be have our left tackle as Moore and no one else can even start at that position…I don’t even know who the backup is there but he must really suck

You're the back up. Suit up.

 

[Andy99]

yes good left tackles grow on trees…

 

[Al Smith]

We successfully kept the ball from Tim Boyle and the Detroit offense for several minutes there without failing to score. That's gotta be a positive.

yes Tim Boyle puts fear in every coordinator’s heart

3rd and 17 run…that’s the D run defense we’re used to lol…

Oh great, DJ is injured….

 

[Common Sense]

A draw on 3rd and 17 and they allow the conversion

 

[Al Smith]

I thought Keith Butler retired. . . . They must have left the give up the 3rd and long in the playbook.

And DJ now hurt . . . .again.

 

[TNT87]

Just great DJ is hurt.
