Trying to be like the patriots is a mistake? What in the world are you talking about?

Trying to be like the Patriots when we are not the Patriots is a big mistake. They have one of the top organizations EVER. Yes, we should strive to be like that, but we are far from it. Belichick is one of the greatest coaches of all time. No one ever has been able to recognize talent like him. In order to win you have to be able to accept your weaknesses. Trying to trade players like Belichick, would be a big mistake because he is probably one of the few, if not only person that knows how to do this.

I like the Steelers mentality. Invest in franchise players and take care of them. Build you team around them through the draft. As a result, their players are loyal and want to be there so they are not every year worried about resigning players b/c their players want to stay there. People on this site would have released Hines Ward years ago.

We must do everything in our power to overpay a player thats finished the year on IR the past two years and has his replacement on the roster. Fans are silly.

You do realize we are a run first team. If our next coach wants to continue this philosophy, then yes we should pay him. If we become the Colts, then we will probably be fine with Goodson and Stewart because we will throw the ball a gazillion times.

For the record, I did not have any issue with a lot of the players that we let go in the past year. At the end of the day a player is worth what the market demands. I can assure you the market will pay DWill $6 million a year. How is this overpaying him? $6 million a year isn't even a top contract. It is a top 10 contract. So now you don't think DWill is a top 10 running back?

oh man, if one of your franchise players is a RB you have a poorly run franchise

try arguing the points I actually made instead of putting words in my mouth

And your little paragraph about the Steelers philosophy totally goes against your point of resigning a replaceable player and contradicts your entire argument, BTW

I'm not trying to defend jtm...but

It'd be nice to resign him if its not too steep of a cost. Like I said, its a win-win scenario if we can do this. Stewarts under contract to 2013, Sutton & Goodson are playing well, I see no problem here. If a team is willing to give us good compensation for Stewart, take it. But objective 1, re-sign Williams because regardless if you want to trade him or keep him, he needs to be tagged or re-signed to get compensation. Plus, his IR this year was from a 2-3 week injury, if anything he's rested and fresher than ever.

I'm just trying to stay positive here

Your points don't make any sense. All you have said is we should be like the Patriots and DWill is going to get overpaid. I came back and said we are not the Patriots and how is paying a RB what the market will bear overpaying him?

Of course they wouldn't have. They signed a 33 year old Hines Ward to a $5 million contract so he could finish his days as a Steeler.

So Hines Ward is to the Steelers as Deangelo Williams is to the Panthers?Really? Really???

I don't see it. Maybe Steve Smith or Kasay. That's it on our current roster.

Right now? Nope.

Arian Foster is having a 2008 DeAngelo Williams year. Is he a Top 5 back?

Question for you, jtm. What RB's in the NFL would you rather have right now over DWill?

Everyone is missing my point. To answer your question, no Arian Foster is not a top 5 back, neither is Hillis. If they have another year in 2011, then they would qualify for the discussion. My issue is people anointing Goodson after only a couple games as a very good RB.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      If Reich or Fitterer were still around I think the need to extend Young because of what he cost would be stronger.  And yeah Morgan was Fit's right hand when the call was made but there an equal chance that Dan will see it as a chance to move on from Fit and shake off that stink. Holding out some hope that 3 years and clear eyes will allow for an honest appraisal that Young just aint the guy

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
