just a small blurb
 
My prediction: This thread will NOT reach 170 pages, and will NOT result in a long-time Steeler Nation member abandoning posting on the site.
 
his tenure with the Jets was a short one, the third time in his life he ended up on the short end of the stick

that's the short of it folks

:towel2:
 
100 pages!

hahahahhahaha
 
Okay I already know what he looks like in Black and Gold.
 
Hmmmm. Didn't take the Jets very long to figure out that he sucks. Took the Steelers over 2 years. lol
 
The jets took the short approach to even a shorter archer.




Salute the nation

Yes, you nailed it. But this happens often in Pgh: Due to protecting their egos, they are slow to make moves which admit to judgement failure. The more they hear the media and fans disgruntled over a personnel decision, they longer they wait to finally making the right move of dumping a poor personnel signing. The "barbarians at the gate" were shouting that Kordell was not a legit QB. So what did they do? Sign him to a huge new deal when he had TWO years left on his current deal. They were really gonna show us.

There are endless examples of this same, ego-protecting mindset. Dri was just another example. the "barbarians at the gate" grumbled that Dri was a wasted 3rd-round pick? Try to keep him twice as long as any other team would. He was a bust, a wasted draft pick when we couldn't afford it. But they acted in a bullheaded manner and kept him on the roster even though he was useless.

I used to think such ego protection was a Cowher trait, but clearly it went deeper than that: they operate in the same manner long after Cowher was gone. Remember how long we suffered with Chad Scott and Dwayne Washington as our CBs? They signed them to new deals and they both sucked, but they didn't want to admit it.

I think Chef Gordon Ramsey criticized one of Vaders dishes and....well he went into hiding. Yeah, where is he? Lol

I banned him for three days and he hasn't came back since. Hasn't logged in anyway.
 
I'm sure he remembers the kickoff return playbook (just let the ball go over your head for a touchback). He could probably be called back on short notice if we have a injury.
 
Alright, alright guys the Dri Archer short jokes are getting a little stale.
