I hear ya, just not sold on Rudolph. The Steelers have been one of the league’s most consistently successful franchises. Historically they’ve had continued success while transitioning from one era to the next. I’m not convinced that will continue once Big Ben retires. Roethlisberger has carried that team on his back the past few seasons. The legendary Pittsburgh D has always been there throughout the years, but hasn’t been strong in recent memory. Tomlin has had the luxury of coaching an elite QB his entire career. There have been plenty of Tomlin doubters, and he’d no longer be with the team if they didn’t value strong continuity. Rudolph wouldn’t be stepping into that great of a situation imo.

Mason Rudolph becoming the best QB drafted in 2018 seems like a huge stretch for anyone who isn’t an OK State fan.

Probably not by much if you don’t drink it out of the urine soaked bathroom sinks.

So using this analogy, are the Pats the psycho boyfriend?

This has happened to whoever the QB is with every Jones drop his entire career.

Awkward is the best word to describe Zay on the field. Nothing about his athletic motion is fluid or smooth. Whether running his routes, or attempting to catch the football, I haven’t seen someone who positions their body in such awkward ways so frequently on the football field.

Yep, that’s why when you’re in traffic you might as well catch the ball. No use for alligator arms when you’re going to get hit anyway. Easy for me to say, but as a pro that’s what you need to do.

Didn’t some people blame the sun when he dropped that pass against Carolina his rookie season?

Yeah, I’ve found that to be the most discouraging development this preseason. Foster developed into a sure handed receiver with big play ability late last season. He looked like he could play on the outside as a real number two type receiver. Zay is nowhere close to a guy I want as my number two.

Yeah, we’ve all seen that movie a few times before. Personally, I’ve seen enough from Zay. I really need to see something more the rest of the preseason. With that said, it’s highly likely this regime will part with Zay before his contract is up. He’s always felt like a liability on the field imo.

Lots of good, and some not so great things we can take from that game. Allen continues to develop a better awareness with the mental aspect of the game. He has looked more in command each time he’s been on field since late last season. Zay is a guy I’m concerned about. It seems like popular opinion regarding Zay’s performance has swayed in his favor since his rookie year. He’s made great progress since that season, but I still don’t trust him. Zay has always been best suited for the slot position. Slot receivers need to be sure handed. Zay doesn’t possess big play ability to make up for errors such as the red zone drop where he heard footsteps in the secondary. Those are huge plays when the games get real.

Yeah, that’s a big deal during the regular season. Zay has cost this team wins and points during his time here. Players all make mistakes, but Zay’s habit of making game altering mistakes needs to be corrected quickly.

You have to wonder how much of a chance he’ll be given to struggle. Undrafted guys need to show something faster than others.

Yeah, I just don’t get why some NFL players need to make that known on their jersey. I thought Roman numerals after names were reserved for legal documents.

High motor, lunch box kind of guy.

Glad someone noticed. I really don’t get the point of the 5.

I hear you. Personally, I just find it gross that he gets to run around having fun after getting busted at a spa in Fla with no worries. If a star player committed the same act, they’d pay a steep price with both league discipline and public opinion. He’s worried about freeing Meek Mill, yet the players in his league receive treatment that hold them to different behavioral standards than ownership. I don’t really care about the spa garbage, I just think it accentuates some unfair standards that players are held to.

Plus, high likelihood she’s not married to him if he isn’t an NFL coach.

People have always had opinions on what others say and do. Gossip and chatter are as old as mankind. Attributing the fact that I find Kraft’s antics funny and disingenuous are not a “testament to a societal mess”. It’s simply some of our opinions. He can do whatever he wants, but pretending to be young and hip simply wouldn't be style. That’s probably why I find it off putting.

You just summed up my feelings perfectly. Nothing wrong with having fun, but things like dancing with Cardi B and getting involved in the Meek Mill situation make Kraft look like an old man who’s trying to be hip and relevant. People of all ages are entitled to fun, but some of it seems slightly attention seeking. My thoughts are also clouded by the fact he owns the Pats.

Nothing wrong with having fun at any age, but singing Livin on a Prayer with JBJ and a bunch of random B listers doesn’t make Kraft as cool as he thinks he is.

His attitude is questionable, but he skills are not. Are pointing to his height as a reason to doubt him? I hope not, because he’s been an elite pro receiver for quite some time. His height is the least of any concerns at this point.

All very true, but loving the money a career brings doesn't always correlate with performing poorly at that job.

I know plenty of women who hang around creeps who don’t have money.

Woods is the only player out of those guys I’d want on the current roster. Otherwise, I’d take what we have over any of those guys. Darby, Bradham, and Hogan are all meh, while Watkins injuries never allow him to live up to his potential. Being on a good team and being responsible for its success are not synonymous.
