WR Diontae Johnson to the Panthers

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.

    • They cancelled JR big time. Until I see the actual accurate account of the racist slur part of the ‘case’, I am not judging him on it. People lose their temper and say poo sometimes because they want to hurt the other person and can’t come up with a reasonable insult. That is why people call people names, as far as I can understand.  It happens. People get pissed and say stupid things they wish they hadn’t. That is a fact. I would like the real details before I go into judgement mode.  When I was young and pretty I worked an assembly job at a GE TV plant for about 6 months. My line supervisor was gay and he didn’t ever touch me with his hands but man oh man he harassed the hell out of me. But I needed the job so I dealt with it. It sucks, but you know he never got any satisfaction and I didn’t sue him or GE. I put up with his poo for the paycheck. I left when I could, end of story. No boo hoo and boycotts and lawsuits. Some of these people who get these settlements, I wonder really, how bad was it that you couldn’t endure it for that probably pretty good paycheck.  So I am one who thinks on balance, what I know *for a fact* about JR doesn’t make him a bad enough guy to be forced to sell the team he started. Something tells me Tepper was afoot in that poo.
    • I can’t see Bryce Young getting to the Super Bowl unless he is a backup. You aren’t talking about beating most teams, having a nice season. It’s beating everybody just to get there. For his sake I hope I am wrong. 
    • I agree with the post above that you need great QB play to realistically have a chance. We got our choice of the 1st pick in a decent QB draft and screwed up. Sure, best case is Young has a miracle upgrade, but it looks to me like that’s not going to happen. I liken this to Alex Smith and the Chiefs still knowing they needed Mahomes, except that I’d much rather have a 2nd year Smith than Young. Young might be able to get us into a playoff game but he will never win a Super Bowl. We had an MVP Cam and still lost the big game.
