Outside of the offensive skill positions, they have as good a roster as any team in football. Not sure which team you're talking about, but the Steelers have outstanding offensive skill position players, just like they always have.

Not really. Duck Hodges, James Conner (product of OL, obviously), a hobbled JuJu, James Washington (nice vertical threat), Vance McDonald (I guess). Do you want me to name 20 teams with a better collection of skill position players? I could start with the Bills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want me to name 20 teams with a better collection of skill position players? I could start with the Bills. I wasn't including the QB. Smith-Schuster, James Washington and Dionte Johnson are as good as any WR group in the league, McDonald is an above average TE and Conner is an excellent RB. I would take those guys over the Bills skill position players any day and I don't think it's even close. There is a reason Ducky Hodges has been successful, and it's not the NFL-level coaching he received at Stamford. If JA had a similar group of skill position players, he'd be lighting up the scoreboard. 5 minutes ago, eball said: What Pittsburgh offensive skill position players have played "outstanding" football this year? Smith-Schuster has been hurt, but he's proven he's a really good WR. Same with Connor at RB. James Washington is emerging as a serious downfield threat, and Dionte Johnson is one of the two or three best rookie receivers in a very good WR class. When Smith-Schuster is healthy (I know he's out this weekend), I can't think of a WR group in the league that I'd rather have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texans say hi Falcons say hi Saints say hi Packers say hi Cleveland says hi Dallas says hi Buccaneers say hi and thats just right now off the top of my head dude GTFO with that. Smith Schuster is a good WR, but lets pump the breaks on him even being ELITE yet...one good year, one great year, and hes been hurt all year this year. Washington is a 2nd year WR who was meh last year but showed glimpses, and has been decent this year. And Johnson is a rookie. Calling them "as good as any" in the league is a farce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve watched a lot of Steeler games this year; it’s a really talented group and it’s a big reason the Steelers haven’t fallen on their face despite being down to playing a third-string undrafted rookie QB.
