MOSteelers56 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'm not a big fan. He seems like a solid enough ILB, just not exactly a game wrecker. I guess it could have been worse, he could have signed for $50M. I honestly would rather have had Willie Gay from KC. At least he's tall and can get his hands into passing lanes.

And Willie Gay is a great linebacker in space. Queen really isn't, and was only good when playing next to Roquan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nex_Gen Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Queen just seems kinda meh to me. Feels like the Steelers have been cursed at that position since Ryan Shazier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Reed Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 He’s softer than your grandma’s bedspread But he’s probably top 3-5 in the league at his position athletically So def something there to work with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it's a waste of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) I think Queen may be underrated. The consensus seems to be that he was bad without Roquon, but he was more boom or bust with high impact explosive plays and some misses. He is better when he can freelance and doesn't have to be the Mike, but he was still capable of doing that. He started every game since coming into the league; he's crazy athletic and seems cerebral and passionate. He's also still only 24 years old. There's a chance this works out REALLY well for the Steelers, which is why I wish he signed elsewhere.

Mr.UFO Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I never thought the Ravens would let Patrick Queen leave. But I guess they needed the money to sign an aging running back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s telling that his former LB coach and DC in Mike MacDonald just had a massive opening at ILB with the loss of Jordyn Brooks and didn’t pound the table to bring him in on a deal that came in cheaper than almost anyone predicted he’d end up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na they used any money earmarked for Queen on the other ILB on the roster named Roquan Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.UFO Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 At least the Ravens have Trenton Simpson as his replacement. He will learn a lot playing next to Roquan Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
