jebrick Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Should I refer to him as Anthony LeBeau? 😇  Wallace ran a 4.63 at the combine so I would not have him man up anyone if I could help it. THey still need a CB#1 Edited March 16, 2022 by jebrick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not super negative about Sutton or Wallace, but starting those two guys outside seems like a recipe for disaster. Bills fans did say that Wallace held his own when White went out last year, but I wouldn't count on him being a lockdown guy all year long. I'd feel a lot better with Witherspoon added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juju was likely never as good as he looked early on.   He played on a team that had an elite all time talent at WR pulling the best corners and double coverage, and a QB that could still sling it. Im not saying Juju isnt/wasnt good at all, but regardless of Ben, Juju struggles with getting separation, especially good corners.    As much as Ben sucked, over the last few years, our receivers havent been that impressive.     Despite the talent that Juju, DJ and Claypool appear to have, none of them can consistently get open.   Part of that may have something to do with coaching, and while Ben didnt do his receivers any favors, they didnt do him a ton either. I would take Juju back and look to trade DJ or Claypool, then draft someone.    But I dont really want all 3 back next year.    I think they all have SOMETHING to offer, but collectively its just not a great group.  Just a collection of decent 2 and 3 caliber guys that suffer with various inconsistencies.

August4th Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I would not be surprised if claypool gets traded. I've heard that they are disappointed in how he acts. I can see them drafting a speed guy like the WR from PSU and than trading claypool for mid-rd pick during the draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 So, according to Aditi Kinhabwala the Steelers intend to bring in at least 1 more QB, in addition to Trubisky this offseason. However she also stated that, supposedly, after meeting with them and observing them, the Steelers do not view any of this year's QBs as a franchise QB. That they want to build around a the 'ideal' QB and then get their QB next year. Idk if Colbert/Tomlin have actually said those things or if it is her belief, but she did allude to the idea that the bit about adding a 4th QB came from them. Also, she kind of seemed to be suggesting there is a real chance Rudolph doesn't make the final roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont trust her at all.   She makes **** up and then backpedals.     She has been wrong so many times. She fits right in with Pittsburgh sports media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think he has a lot of potential to blossom in the right offense and he's still young. I would want a 3rd for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Juju, I think he is much better than people are giving him credit for but Ben wasn't capable of getting the ball to him consistently. I agree he isnt a #1 but he is our most reliable #2. If you're gonna give him or DJ a big contract it would be Juju without blinking.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now I don’t think they are scheduled to be at any of the QBs pro days and they had very few combine official meets.  I’ve got an eye on Nkobe Dean from Georgia. Haven’t picked up Bush’s option, haven’t signed or been linked to LB, and are sitting on the weakest unit of the defense. Just screams going there in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why give either a big contract when neither deserve it?    Again, you can blame Ben for Juju, and Im not saying it didnt hurt, but objectively, Juju is a limited player. He has his strengths, but he has held himself back as well.     Im not totally against keeping him, but it better be a very reasonable deal....and if we do that, I really hope we trade one of the other two.
