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.

It was a good deal for both teams. CBS Sports actually gave the Steelers an A and us a B (they get rhe better grade for moving up). They need corners and we need receivers.

Forgot to upload this image. @WUnderhillbut we've talked about it for years. There's threads on it.  

And this is what is super scary with a young QB we have

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.

DAN-ger Zone.

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.

I still say it's the Chinese currency where it came from. And no one wants to admit it. Lol

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.
