The Big Cat

Make that 3 picks and one completion.

Luck is twice as good it's not even close. Halfway through second: 0 comps and 2 picks. Tell me more.

False, Russel Wilson is most certainly not a top 4 QB.

I'm only counting eight quarterbacks that threw 30+ TD's, but that's beside the point. More importantly, let's look at those eight: Brady, Rodgers, Luck, Brees, Big Ben, Manning, Romo and Rivers. If we want to count Eli, he had 29 and he's the ninth on the list. So let's count him. Take Luck out of the equation, and what's the common denominator? They're all over 30 years old. Number 10 is Ryan (29 years old), number 11 was Cutler (31 years old). So, by OP's logic, if we want to win, we have to have a QB who's 30+ years old throw 30+ TD's.

My buddy's a walking encyclopedia of all things Pittsburgh, particularly its sports. His input: The Steelers have constantly been passive aggressive to Ben his entire career, so yes, I could see this contract negotiation going poorly

Then send McKelvin, Cockrel and next year's ffith. Stranger things have happened, that's for damn sure. And it's not totally outside the realm of possibility, He only has one year left, we can afford him (but not much else), plus, hear me now, believe me later, I think Pittsburgh's due for a big shake up.

Wilson most definitely has limitations as a pocket passer. His legs and Marshawn's legs let them avoid having to do things he can't. I wouldn't kick Dalton out of bed for eating crackers. For real?

Let's put it another way: Who was worst 2014 quarterback in the NFL that could win a Super Bowl with an outstanding defense? Tannehill? Dalton? Kapernick? Orton? Or is it Russell Wilson? Is he the baseline?

I thought the argument was you needed the ever elusive "elite."

I have to disagree with the second half of your statement given the last three quarterbacks to win the Super Bowl.

45 25 15 10 5 year old data is worthless in evaluating what will work and what won't work next year in the NFL.

Another cool, but completely off topic take away: Tomsula coached Freddy in Germany.

Oh Geeze Louise. When has this hand wringing over OMFG WE'RE CHANGING DEFENSIVE ALIGNMENTS ever been a.) remotely warranted or b.) even based on the reality of an actual "switch!?" OMFG we're running the Wide 9 now that Schwartz is here! Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Turn it on! Turn it on! You see me!? YUSS!!

This is a false equivalent. In two days, Tom Brady will play in his NINTH AFC Championship game since 2001. That means, at the very least, nine other teams have failed to beat The Pats* "when it counts."

Well, they play two of them next year.

For real though, I've always abhorred the way the man conducts himself. The hooting and hollering after a touchdown makes me want to slap him, for no other reason than because of the levels to which he'll stoop to pouting when things DON'T go his way. The frowny faces on the bench, the screaming at the referees (he should have been flagged last week for that ****) the pursed-lips after a loss vs. how he's all smiles and Mr. Friendly after a win, it's all classless to me. You're not graceful in victory if you can't be graceful in defeat. And he never is.

The guy is a dick. Period.

We'll sweep the Jets next year: 2 wins At worst, we'll split with the Dolphins: 1 win, probably 2 There's a good chance we'll split with the Pats*: 0 wins, may be 1 We play the AFC South and NFC East: at worst, 4 wins, at best 6 Our flex games are against KC and Cincy, could drop both, could just as easily win both 0 wins, may be 2 That puts us, at worst 7 wins and at best 13 Anyone want to wager we won't fall inside that window?

The best part about this picture is the fact that HE chose it to be his twitter avatar. I've tweeted him about it before, inquiring whether he was going for the most socio-pathic looking head shot that existed.

I was legitimately concerned about losing these guys. The last two years--particularly in comparison to the IR of the hour club under Jauron--have been remarkably injury-free.

LAMP?

Seems like a continuation of the half-assed plan that left on New Years Eve.

Came on at like 2 am Saturday night and told everyone Rex/Roman was coming. Think "NeverGiveUp"

The Chicken Little crowd wants to the lay improved run-D at the feet of Jim Schwartz. Undoubtedly, he helped. But so did Brandon Spikes, Preston Brown and Kiko Alonso not over-running gaps by four feet.
