Yeah, all that stuff fascinates me. I played Pop Warner, lol, so I don’t have a clue how the NFL works beyond game day broadcasts. I was appreciative of Pittman for showing the behind the scenes of game day from a player’s perspective. Blew me away how much food and drink was available to everyone. Would love to see more behind the scenes of a Thursday practice with meetings and coacing decisions. I saw a part of a season with Hard Knocks and I was glued, ha.

Someone mentioned bringing Jacoby back. I think he and AR are more similar in style so SS wouldn’t have to change the gameplan as much as with any other backup out there? Just a thought…?

Yup. Agree. I’m not going to say Ballard is perfect, because he falls short there, BUT… One of Ballard’s strengths is that he makes his guys stand on the table for their guy. If it merits the selection after all is said and done he will give credit to the scout. Him promoting Morocco was just done because he truly values his judgement on prospects. Ballard surrounds himself with smart people. Dodds is one of those people.

Ballard isn’t being discussed here. His second, Dodds, is. It’s just another way for y’all to bash Ballard. I also stand behind my statement that he would still have something negative to say if we win the Super Bowl. My opinion stands. The notion that Dodds isn’t highly regarded is subjective, I would agree with that. But the fact that he has been repeatedly requested for interviews over the last 3 years means there is at least some interest there. It’s not too much of a stretch to say he’s highly regarded, in my opinion.

Everyone in the organization is a disappointment in your book. We could win the Super Bowl and you would still complain how we should have done it sooner. Your only a fan of your own thoughts in my opinion.

Yeah, he's clearly highly thought of. My guess is he's just be happy here waiting for the perfect job and just waiting for CB to get tossed in the meantime. Not saying anything will happen this year, but next year is more of a possibility if AR lands on his face or the roster regresses.

I am ready for the change. I am interested to see who Shane has in mind since he has been around a bit.

Wait...what QB has played 75 % of the snaps for the Steelers? Was it Rudolph or Trubiski (3 games each)? Have they made the playoffs?

So how many playoff wins should a GM have in 7 years. How many GM's have accomplished this?

And Caserio has had 3 top 3 picks in the last couple of years along with pick 15. We lost our starter this year as well. Not even close on comparing the two.

Two years. What's the point? He's been there for a shorter time? Great. When is the last time CB had the #2 pick? How many times has CB picked in the top 10?

This was to be an evaluation year for SS. No one had eyes on the playoffs. May have a wish for it, but no one was saying this year was a disappointment if we didn't make the playoffs. We had no need to draft high FA's this year. I agree, though, that Ballard will be tied to the success of AR. Have no issue with that. Bingo!

So, if the Texans lost Stroud during the season and didn't make the playoffs would you be saying the same thing about Caserio?

Yeah, I agree. AR, Juju, Downs, Freeland, Hull, Jones...they're all scrubs and didn't contribute or show any growth at all this year. Yep, just another typical bad draft for Ballard. He really is bad.

Thank you! (out of likes)

He's a backup, for goodness sake. He's not our regular starter. Get a grip! He won us more games than anyone expected. I definitely want him back next year if the price is right.

Agree.

He was open and had Pitt out in front. If he had caught it it was a clear 1st down. It was the right call. You can question the personnel but not the play call. It was excellent.

A couple of plays swung the momentum: 1) the injury when we had a great drive going 2) the decision not to punt Defense played well overall. Gus pulled some plays out and went outside his norm which caused CJ into bad throws. Injuries just killed our secondary, but overall they played decent. Offense was disjointed at key points of the game. I think SS was his worst enemy today on a couple of drives. Finally, that last play was a good call. He was open, but they just missed on the pass - for whatever reason. Good call, poor execution.

Agree.

Yeah, good call, poor execution. No doubt in my mind. We lost this game.

Well, we crapped the bed again. Lost to the Texans. DRATS!!

Tighten up the line and toss it to Mo.

haha...my heart beat out my chest a few mins ago.. See ya'!!

Taylor needs to burst it. STop dancin'
