Tomlin on Diontae as a Panther gives me some anxiety

[WarHeel]

Most Steelers fans I speak with seem to be glad to be rid of him calling him lazy and selfish. They give him props for route running but that’s all the positivity I’ve heard.

We take what we can get.

Bottom feeder organization.

 

Hard to get excited about anything this franchise does but if he works out it’ll be a nice surprise.

If the guy gets open and catches the ball, why would that not be something to get excited about?

LMMAOOOOO... meh, he will be fine.

Y'all are right....

Steelers fans are generally morons. Look at Tepper.

They are typically mindless fans. People with homer glasses on will think every player on the roster is awesome, every acquisition was genius, and every loss of a player was the best move because they weren't that great anyways.

Steeler fans are the cowboy fans of the north.

I wouldn't exactly consider them and their opinions of any former or current player as objective at all.

I mean our resources are limited this year. Its really a win-win for Carolina. They get him on a 1-yr deal basically. A year that he has a lot to prove if he wants to get paid. If he doesn't work out, you only lost a guy you was releasing anyways. We are basically getting to test drive.

A) He goes off, wants to resign, we have a clear #1 WR. 

B) He goes off, doesn't want to stay here, we tag and trade.

C) He is a locker room cancer regardless of ability and we get to observe before committing to anything long term. 

D) He sucks, and we let him walk. 

My guess is a mixture of B/C. I think he manages some borderline 1000 yard season with a few TDs and acts like he is god and wants crazy money so Morgan just trades him at the EOS to somebody who is just a WR away.

We'd have to trade him before the trade deadline (which I believe is right after week 9).

I hope he's reasonable. We're only on the hook for $10 mil. We're going to have to up his salary by quite a bit if things go well and all parties want him to stay. I could really see somewhere in the vicinity of doubling of that amount if things go well.

While true if we are employing this train of thought then that extends to the people he chooses to hire. Not a good outlook for Dan Morgan.

Their organization has a history of success. Generally always in the playoff discussion. 
 

You guys do this every year. You get yourself amped up over a FA signing or drafting some project and 98% of the time the ceiling is JAG. I’m just bringing it back down to earth. It’s OK to be hopeful but I’m done being excited until we prove something.

To be clear, i was being sarcastic and mocking Rayzor. I agree with you.

lol who is amped up over the guy? i think he's a solid addition and could be exactly what we've been needing. am i crowning him an all-pro or any such nonsense? no. i just think that he's worth a shot and until he starts showing his ass and becoming a problem, i'm going to be giving him the benefit of the doubt. is that too amped up for you?

some people just need a scene change. that could be this guy. or he could just be a problem wherever he goes. until he is a problem, though, he's not. no point in getting worked up over a potential cancer until he starts doing some damage. no point in worrying about it because there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it. so why not wait and see?
