Refs are going to throw a flag anytime someone breathes on him the wrong way, especially if he continues to be exciting to watch.

In that case, we should trade back and draft Hooker. He's never going to be "not old enough to get that call".

I’ve always felt like defenses are more careful hitting certain QBs actually and put some extra mustard on the hits when it’s a big dude like Cam or Roethlisberger. 

Because the refs never gave a fug when Cam or big Ben got a cheap shot. It's like they were playing in the early 80's. Defenses are going to do whatever they can get away with. It's one of the few things that my steelers-fan brother and I agree on.

About his diet--I am guessing this is what he is doing--

Takeaway. If you can sustain a lifting program and eat a caloric deficit, your body will be able to pull from its fat stores to both fuel itself and potentially build muscle mass. Prioritizing foods rich in protein is a key component to both losing body fat and building muscle at the same time

I'd be like, "Take me Golden Corral and give me 50 minutes"  I'll get that 204 to 210 in one sitting."

It's looking that way. Richardson is the only guy so far that hasn't been a pussy about these measurements.  

Devil's advocate...AR is a beast of a man who's biggest drawback is that he threw < 60%. He needs to play up athleticism as much as possible.

To me, the combine was a non-event--I fell asleep watching it on my phone while driving.  Having said that, If I were in charge of this franchise, I would draft Young because his skill set is more akin to today's NFL than Stroud's.  And Stroud is my favorite, but if my job were on the line, I would go with Young and start drafting OL on days 1 and 2 every year.

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
