The Steelers are not built to combat the run. The Falcons ran for 147 and the Ravens 215(without LJ) in the previous two weeks. Their biggest weakness was on the DL. They are trying to replace their NT, 5DE and both ILBs. That’s not a team that was built to combat the run.

They are void years. They all hit once the players leave the team. It’s dead money.

You’re reading that wrong. It’s 4M this year. That’s it.

Not before that year though. He was almost as big a surprise as Cam. Coaches didn’t see that coming. He was a beast though.

I know. In Spring, I thought he might get us to 9-3. By the end of Summer, I said to someone “he’s a walking first down”. But it wasn’t until Clemson almost(and should have) beaten us that they took the training wheels off. Rest is history.

That’s being kind. They had two other players on offense that were ever drafted . Lee Ziemba(Car) 7th B. Mosely (4th) 2011. SEC Leading rusher and the 2nd highest QBR in history to that point.

That’s fair. Start the scoreboard after Rhule. Traded best offensive player for the equivalent of a mid 2nd rounder. Turned down 2 1sts, and 37 this year for the privilege of paying a player 25M+ a year. Let’s see how these work out.

Yep. My statements are definitely not taking into account all the stories about Tepper y’all have told. But what little I paid attention to those, I remember always thinking why is this guy being “cheap” about anything? So he may be cheap, or spiteful, or both. I just wouldn’t want him pissed at me, no matter what.

I agree. I’m sure Rhule has a solid case. But if at all possible Rhule should have made this move as privately as possible. Tepper just admitted publicly that he made a mistake. And the next day this hits the media. Doesn’t take much for a man with that much “power” to get petty real fast and make that new job much more difficult.

What exact time in the videos do they count lack of conference or BCS championships as a mark against any QB?

Really? All those drunken rants and you want civil discourse? How about we go back to when Sam was signed and your comments. Which speaks to your credibility much more than some claim of wanting Mahomes.

It’s the truth. No scout, GM, or coach in the NFL is judging a player on the outcome(not their specific performance) of a team single game. Much less those that think Darnold is/was the answer. Sorry about them feelings man…..

To you maybe. No one that matters cares. Or Stetson Bennet would be a 1st rounder. I’ve never seen this Mahomes prediction but there are plenty of Sam Darnold evaluations on here from you to properly judge your ability to scout a QB.

It really doesn’t matter if the guy with billion’s doesn’t think he should. I have no idea if he’s entitled to it or not without the contract. But he has a new job paying just as much that could be made much more difficult if Tepper decided to make a point.

There is a point to where you take what you got and be thankful for it. Rhule is trying to be “spiteful” with a guy that could destroy you as a “hobby”. Tepper needs to show him the difference between multi-millionaire and multi-billionaire.

European soccer: like every sport over there, they’re openly corrupt. What European pro league isn’t bent. A baseball team from over 100 years ago? And steroids? What specific teams benefitted from them being legal. Those all players trying to get better. Not throw games. A college (not Pro) basketball scandal from 40+years ago. What were those players making on BC on regular salary. Like Pros have. And nothing about the NFL? But it’s definitely going to happen because….reasons. That makes sense.

Name one you mentioned. I brought up the NBA ref. You haven’t given me an example of a player/coach/ referee who has done anything. Just this might happen and this could happen. Where in between all those is your examples. Just because it is “inevitable” in your head doesn’t mean it’s true. And sports is a form of entertainment. Disagree as usual.

I asked for any examples and you went with this….again. What’s more likely. Your conspiracy theory full of hypotheticals, or maybe guys making millions don’t need to throw games. As widespread as you think it is and nothing offered as proof but your mind. You can, and have assumed whatever you want in regards to this. And now it just certain games that you can’t tell but just know….right? And your proof is all money is corrupt. So it must be true. Don’t know how to argue with fantasies. As someone already has stated ITT.

Because it worked so well when they overreacted to the Saints bad call and reviewed PI calls.

I’m having a hard time remembering what I debated you about because that was all very well said. From someone who has clearly put on the stripes(or mask). I agree with all you said except that they influence games (intentionally) at all. But I respect the opinion from the knowledge it was born from. My issue is the whole league is bent on every bad call mantra.

So basically your fan fiction version should be treated as fact and basic facts should just take a back seat on this one. If this happens, why haven’t the Jets, Giants, Bears been more successful. That would increase viewership, clicks, everything more than any teams. The owners not interested in those millions of fans? Which league is on top. Where are all these documented players who have been proven to throw games?

So how much cheating is involved in influencing. What would be something that random NFL official tells NFL ref to do. But not too much. Then it should be easy to give numerous examples instead of deflection. You brought other sports into it. My statement was that in a league where everything is set up for every team to be around 500 with equal resources, why would they mess with the chance of ruining it all for a certain team to win. When that same team wasn’t worthy last year? MLB has teams paying 400M/yr and some paying 50M. Their balance problem isn’t with umpires.

How did it happen? What would that influence entail that isn’t rigging. Please list the NFL players who threw games. I can think of maybe one. How about baseball? Who are all these players? It’s also not crazy to think people, even the best, make mistakes. You ever called a game. In any sport? I guess maybe hiring all new replacement refs would help. It worked great before.

Nope. Never said that. And I don’t follow NBA enough to care. Want to guess why? And my stance is the same as always. The NFL is not risking their credibility on hoping one team goes to the Super Bowl. Your rant is older than me, and is always proven by a well, because…reasons argument. I don’t know NBA players. I know several NFL players/coaches. Your theory is laughable. It’s the same as thinking players ever try to lose.
