The ridiculous narratives of preseason football

He is saying Rudy starts...sucks... resulting in the Steelers being temporary AFC North bottom feeders. Then Haskins takes over catches fire. Steelers make it to the championship game but loses off a bullshit last second call. Then DIC revolts and goes on Dancing with Stars but loses to a one legged midget named Skippy.
As of the end of last season we are already bottom feeders. The Ratbirds and Stains are better than us. Obviously.
That's why I'm still pissed off, if you can't tell.
 
I just think Steeler fans looking for another Ben, and we know Mason isn't anywhere near Ben's talent. Mason is a solid QB and on par with many other good NFL QB's. Haskins has been doing well against scrubs and he's still learning the new offense and getting a feel for the timing of the schemes and personnel. It's going to be a while until things start to slow down for him and he gets comfortable. Until then, we're hoping he is able to reach his potential as a high draft prospect and keep the Steelers in the title hunt for years to come.
Rudolph will never be Ben, and neither will Haskins. But, Rudolph is no Kent Graham either. Rudolph is more along the lines of O’Donell, Brister, Tomczack, Maddox. I am hoping that when it is his turn, he is more like Batch or O’Donell

Rudy dreams of being as good as Brister....
 
sorry that is just not true.

**** the stains. **** the ravens
I'm thinking the Stains and Rats got farther in the playoffs than we did, so....
 
The only thing I am concerned with is the guy that takes over for Ben is good enough to take this team to the playoffs and win. Well, to the playoffs, Tomlin will ensure they lose.

so that is last season, that is a season with no running game, and some kids out of the stands starting at LB for the Steelers. Lots of changes, including a new OC.

**** the stains and **** the shitbirds
 
But you can call me "Norman". There is a battle. Open your eyes...
There’s no battle. Rudolph will be #2 and yes I do expect Haskins to beat out Dobbs for #3 but in reality that battle is a lot closer than people realize. I think the Steelers will give Haskins every opportunity just like they did with Paxton Lynch.
 
I am thinking the Steelers will be better this year based off possibly having a running game and shoring up the ILB and OLB position. The team will be better on both sides of the ball.
Exactly - you don't need shutdown corners in all three positions IF your pass rushing is as good as last year or better...

I fully expect a better overall team this year barring injuries.
 
Some people hate Rudolph because he is white, just like some hate Haskins because he is black. That is the single most assinine thing to base anything on, left alone a QB.

You also have to understand the fascination the fans have with the 3rd string QB. They always believe the 3rd stringer would become a HOF QB, if only given a chance.
Someone told me Benjamin started out on the roster as #3...
 
And what did that do for them? It got them picking after us in the draft with worse records!
That’s not the point. The point is that they got farther than we did. The Stains beating us in the last two games in case you forgot. Makes three years in a row that Shades’ team collapsed in December. We won the division despite losing 4 of the last 5 then got out ***** handed to us by the Stains in the first (and usually Tomlin’s only) playoff game.

That's why I'm a glass half full kind of guy ;)
