Flacco and Roethlisberger

Both are being jerks about their teams drafting young quarterbacks.

With Flacco, it's that he seemingly refuses to say a word even acknowledging that it happened. Roethlisberger, on the other hand, is saying plenty...and sounding like an ass in the process (not exactly new territory for him).

There had been word that the Panthers might take a mid-round quarterback in this draft, but it didn't happen. I suspect if it had, Newton would have been more gracious about it.

In Pittsburgh and Baltimore though, looks like they're set to have real interesting training camps.

Didn't the Steelers get Dobbs last year? I don't know what the big deal is with them drafting a late round qb this year, and Flacco is a dumbass if he thought he would hold that spit forever, he hasn't done poo in years, his play is declining every year, some could say it's lack of weapons, but his turnovers and hot decision making is what's wrong.

I never really thought Flacco was that great, to be honest.

Yeah, he has a Super Bowl ring. So does Trent Dilfer, with the same team.

Exactly!!!! I've been saying that for years, Dilfer and Brad Johnson got the easiest rings for sub par play I've ever seen

Regarding Dobbs, Roethlisberger has been talking up the fact that the team did this twice in two years. He frames it as "so did they screw the pick last year or did they screw it this year?"

Guy is as complete a douchebag as I've ever seen.

Yea, he is in that stage of talking bout retirement.... Curious if it's so they let him stay haha

 

I like Dobbs, wish we could have got him to learn behind Cam

I honestly don't have anything against what Ben said as it is the inconvenient truth. He has to take care of himself and make sure he's ready. 

If you're the Steelers, do you want to hear your quarterback spouting off like that though?

To be fair, it's not like we didn't already know Roethlisberger was an a--hole. Pittsburgh has chosen to put up with him, although the story at one point was that a significant portion of his teammates hated his guts.

He has no self-awareness whatsoever.

 Im with you. I agree he's is and always was an asshole. At this stage in his career, he knows that this is his team. 

I do agree with his notion that you need to make sure you're mentally ready before taking someone under your wing. That is what i don't have a problem with. Problem is its coming from Bens mouth.

Rudolph said he doesn't expect Roethlisberger to mentor him, and I believe he meant it in a nice way as in, "it's okay dude you don't have to do that" Roethlisberger took it to mean that he thought he was so good he didn't need any help, which coming from his frame of reference probably makes sense.

Rudolph is, by all accounts, a great kid. I doubt you could have two more polar opposites if you tried.

Steelers may have gotten the steal of the draft. CBS Sports had Rudolph as their top rated QB. I was surprised he didn't go in the 1st round.

Flacco has always been mediocre. Had one above average season when they won the super bowl. And the NFL gave it to Ray Lewis.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      It's definitely a historical issue at QB but to be perfectly blunt, we also don't do a good job of really developing almost any position if you look at the last decade or so. I tend to be on the side of that being far less a development issue than an evaluation deficiency.  I think we are in the situation at QB2/3 recently due to the overall roster being absolutely abhorrent and the QB classes being quite thin. It is harder to justify another Matt Corral(or several) when you can potentially get a real two deep contributor at other positions.  But, it was a lot of hard work to get to the point where are roster is so incredibly bad that luxury picks literally are not in our vocabulary.  This is the reaping what you sow portion of our history.

      That is what I meant about our front office. They are like someone filling out a March Madness bracket based on preference of uniform colors and mascots. There's no rhyme of reason to some of these fugg'n mind numbing decisions they make.  They go all in on these flimsy-@ss prospects and are gun shy when it comes to more solid prospects.  It's literally maddening and the reason I stopped being so emotionally involved in this team. Heck the only reason I'm active on the board today is one, it's my day off and two, it's cut down time.
