Same. Something that made Wilson so great in Seattle is that he could lob up a wounded  duck and his WRs would come back to the ball and fight for it and come down with it. If Bryce did that it's an automatic pick 6. He needs some dogs throwing elbows trying to help him out.

Ha. Same wavelength.

Ol' Rusty's rainbow prayers, that was once upon a time always answered, use to absolute kill me when we played them.

It killed me inside that for years people considered him a cut above Cam.

Now I want to know why yinz couldn't trade us your center before he was cut!!!

I wouldn't be against it if we had any other options currently.  Colbert wasn't that bad in a running oriented system until he got hurt and the system changed, and will change once more.  We just are afraid to rely on him as a long term solution.

I always love when a fan of the previous team shows up and has NOTHING positive to say. 

I've been watching football for 45 years now.  He's a talented kid.  Had some injuries.   The team that drafted him is moving on.  His new team picked him up for peanuts. He doesn't have to be elite to improve the Panthers receiving core.  Sometimes a change of scenery and system is needed.  

Thanks for your time steeliedude,  you can go back home now. 

Hope you’re right, appreciate yinz analysis.

I have many good friends and family from the Pittsburgh area but have never heard “yinz” before…

…what in the actual fug.  🙃

I've heard it more than a few time in my lifetime. Some of it from NC natives that no dick about football much less the Steelers.  Guess what. It has nothing to do with IQ or which football team you follow. 

Screw you for making me defend a Steelers fan by the way.

No offense intended, I’ve just never heard it before.  I’m sure “yinz” is similar to “y’all” it’s just not something I’ve encountered.  Dig it.

It's the same thing. Both are just southern slang of butchered English words.

Don't get so butthurt. Like I said week one you'll be asking why he drops back after the catch. 

 

So I guess everyone at the Steelers forum has been complaining for 2 years and calming him Mr. I run backwards for nothing.

Catches is the key word, that’s a step in right direction.

Wa it really that bad? 

 

Johnson will drop a couple. But who doesn't.... you'll be happy with him, as long as you don't get upset when he goes back 5 after the catch. 

He can be a #1.

And his injury wasn't that bad. It just sucked. I don't see him being injury prone.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
