"Scott possesses excellent size and strength and has a mean streak in pursuing defenders on running plays. He garnered invitations to the Senior Bowl and the NFL scouting combine, where he largely confirmed the views of NFL personnel who project him as a right tackle. Scott's imposing frame is impressive, but it doesn't mask his lack of lateral mobility that makes a projection to left tackle unlikely. In addition, he isn't very flexible and struggles with sudden changes of direction. Scouts love his reach and ability to withstand power rushers. He also possesses a workmanlike, no-nonsense attitude as well as the ability to grasp complex defensive schemes."

 

hopefully he got his poo together cause apparently this dude was a baller at tennessee

What did I say that was wrong? We sign a pro bowler SS only to have the original plan to start a averave SS that draws a lot of penalties. Im sick and tired of hearing things like "we are going with youth" or "We are developing young players for the future." Which still makes letting Drayton Florence go more mind boggling. Why should we sacrifice winning seasons just to develop young players? How about fug the future, I would rather have one or two consecutive playoff berths with againg veterans as opposed to 2-3 years of sub .500 seasons "developing the young guys."

 

the fact that you think Rivera thinks like this is why you shouldn't be allowed to post. you treat these guys like its fuging madden and not real life.

 

Quintin would have eventually started over mitchell. Not fuging the first week when he has been here for less than a fuging week. Drayton was cut because our youngsters are ready to ball. Drayton was an old jag. While i was surprised by the move, it signaled the josh's were ready to go. Do you think Rivera would gamble his last year to "develop young guys"

 

your posts are retarded and that is why you get called out all the time.

Yep, thats why the Bills dropped him before we picked him up. He was their Duke Robinson.

Well here's hoping the light has come on. Sure sounds like it. Rivera said in his presser that he thinks we "got a nice find" in Scott.

I'm just having a hard time beliving a guy that didn't even perform well FOR The Steelers is a diamond in the rough now. With the way the Steelers run their organization with a no nonsense attitude. You would think he would get this poo in gear and play well. If not with them, how is he doing it with us?

Think of it like this:  All players are charts. They start at various points on the Y axis.  Some never really improve.  Some rise and then fall.  Some flat line until the light comes on.  Then they rise.  Scott is quite possible the last one.  Borderline for a few camps and then he finds a system that showcases his strengths.  Maybe he was asked to move laterally more in Pittsburgh.  Remember, he started out a RT, so there were position changes.  Different coaches.  Different plays.  Maybe he decided to say, "screw all this thinking and  lack of conditioning.  If I am going to play NFL football, I am going to work hard and play hard."

 

Do not discount his play because of what he did in other cities.  We have let people go who are doing very well.   Watch the field.

So Hardy still might get looks inside at 280? Is that accurate? I didnt notice in preseason and am wondering if you did. Wasnt paying attention to that.

 

Also, what do you think of Scott? Are we talking serviceable here?

 

Hardy can rush inside.  He's better outside, mind you, but he can do a decent inside rush.

 

Having Short minimizes the need for that (if Edwards plays).

Exactly, does he even need to?. . . if Edwards plays that is and the rotation is at full strength. I wonder if we will see much of him there this year. Why dont they ever flip flop Hardy and Johnson? I would think their difference in styles would make for a good change up.

      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.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
