Steelers 2023 Offseason Thread of Correct Opinions

[tifosi77]

The word 'joke' is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

[Morkle]

Oh look, Mendenhall's yearly attack on Ben - and people making fun of him for fumbling is back again. This dude is a real piece of work.

[nocera]

"F-words." Either go all in or come up with a better insult.

[dodint]

he meant 'fans', I'm sure.

[Morkle]

I like that he is so insecure about that fumble he's trying to blame anyone and everyone that was involved in that play. For a player so ready to point the finger at Ben, he can't handle that all he had to do was hold that ball.

[Troy Loney]

In an era of bad Steelers drafts. He highlights probably the worst Steelers draft ever.

So many good players in that draft too, and the Steelers **** it up so bad

[LITT]

wow some good RBs taken later - cj2k, ray rice, jamaal charles,

[dodint]

Jamaal Charles. k.

[Troy Loney]

Matt forte too

[shafnutz05]

Matt forte too

I thought Forte could have been a legit star on another team.

[dodint]

The only thing I remember about Matt Forte is that his name is an anagram for 'Fart Totem.'

[tifosi77]

That seems to be sort of how you remember/regard Jamaal Charles, as well.

"Who called the play??? Hmmm>??!!?!?1??"

[dodint]

That seems to be sort of how you remember/regard Jamaal Charles, as well.

I honestly can't remember why I hated Charles. My guess is it was fantasy related and he was an overrated broke dick. He's 59th on the all-time rushing list in front of something called Mike Pruitt. JC's best season (one of 3 he played 16 games) was 1500 yards. Meh.

Cbear might remember.

[LITT]

4 pro bowls, 1 1st team all pro. not bad

a year with 2000 all purpose yards and 19 tds

[dodint]

Yeah, he flamed out hard it looks like. 9 years, last three with different teams w/no starts and a handful of carries. So he did those 4 pro bowls in those first six years.

[Troy Loney]

Injuries

[willeyeam]

Charles and AP won me some fantasy titles, I had them both as keepers from their rookie years til like 2014 or whatever it was when Charles flamed out

[willeyeam]

also we're talking about Jamaal Charles in the steelers thread and KSP in the NFL thread, my brain can't handle this

[King Colby]

Personally I think all football talk should be consolidated into one single thread to align to the Pens-related forum

[robbiestoupe]

This is the thread of correct opinions. Bad takes need not apply

[Morkle]

Great, so he's a lame OC that will set the clock back another year for Kenny when you don't renew his contract next year and decide to hire another cheap OC. This Rooney is kind of a dink.

[count2infinity]

How much is that just Kenny being a young QB that isn't going to step forward and cause waves with his OC?

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

'Young'

[Morkle]

Kenny is old enough to not have to make waves. They're using the 7-2 as it being figured out, but whatever, there should be zero excuses then next year if they start slow.
