Who was it here that was pushing Isaiah Oliver?

I forget who it was, but I do remember there was some guy here who was really pushing Isaiah Oliver for whatever reason.

I don't really make it a secret that since 2012 I've watched as little scout tape as possible, but I was talking to a buddy who works out of AZ last night, and he was raving about this same kid, and I succumbed.

Good God, how do we make this happen?

So admittedly I haven't watched a single snap of his but I feel like whenever I hear about him the knock is that he is below average in the run game. Isn't run support a pretty important characteristic in a Rivera defense?

The guy is the best athlete of any corner prospect much superior to josh Jackson

He is my pick for our first rounder. If not him then some other corner who can play man and zone. Seems to me if you are fast and athletic you should be good at both. I want someone who can battle Julio Jones and with a little help over the top limit him to under a 100 yards. It that asking too much.

      Mike Tomlin stepping down as HC of the Steelers

      We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one.

      I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
