Duke Johnson anyone?

[Ike Kelly]

Ignorance on display. I’ll wager you the Steelers do not draft a running back in the first three rounds or sign one in free agency for more than 3 million a year. And you’ll run from that bet!

3rd string RB is not a need as I said. Perhaps your weekend gimp mask is on to tight? Keep posting Ike, you’re hilarious.

Ah yes.....reply by wager. A stunt you often pull when you’ve exhausted all your means of stupidity.

Coach after the BS you pulled with Coolie, you’re attempts at validation are a joke.

“Not draft a RB in the first 3 rounds, no FA over 3 million a year”.....

I’ll wager you the sun will rise tomorrow. I win. There is a comparison for you moron.

Here is a lesson for you after you finishing your shift down on the floor at work. Wash your hands.

The Steelers likely #3 back will be a 6th or 7th round pick unless they pick up a vet at minimum.

So you admit 3rd string running back is down the list. Good. That is a start.

You can say ignoring depth at any non special teams positions can cost you if you lose the 1st and 2nd string player. I’d argue kicker is more of a need than 3rd sting RB. All starters, and most back ups on offense and defense are more important than the 3rd string back. Dude, that is at least 40 other players!

The running back position has become devalued. The Steelers typically bring in rookie free agents or very cheap non starting types to fill this role. Check the history. You’ll see.

Didn't look too devalued with the last two SB winners.

Doesn't matter how far down the list it is, the whole list needs to be addressed.try to grasp that.

I see you want a avatar bet but if you feel so strong about the position why put brackets on it?

A simple the Steelers won't draft or bring in a FA RB would be in line with the bullshit you are spewing.


But we know you won't take that bet...

As I thought. In other words, no f'n way 3rd string RB is a priority with the Steelers. I know it, you know it, and most importantly you know that I know it! Sure let's spend a lot of money on running back Duke Johnson....what a moron you are.

If you want a bet, I will wager this. The Steelers will not bring in a free agent running back for above the amount Duke Johnson signs for. Now, do you want to go into more details about that bet?


The Steelers might bring in a scrub free agent for less than Johnson signs for, but that's hardly a priority. 80 guys start out in camp. Someone will be cheap veteran Rb's or rookie free agent RB. That goes for pretty much all teams. DUH.


As stated we are not spending 3 million a year on a veteran back, that would be almost 6 times what Conner and Samuels are making! Think about that for a moment...


You might as well said we need a better back up long snapper, after all when our guy went down, Harrison blew it.


The third string RB is way down on the list of priorities.

Duke will cost a lot of money? L O L

When your top RB gets hurt every year it increases the need for a competent 3rd RB. Especially when your number two is wet behind the ears.

You get it. Or the back might already be on the team.

Money was never the topic,

My bet is they will bring in a FA RB or draft one..

They wouldn't do either if the devalued the position right? It isn't a need position according to you right?


That is the bet. Take it or leave it. One month signature bet.

Actually with what he says they addressed the position. You are the one trying to put brackets on the discussion. Like you did with the Coolie bet, try to change the convo to meet your agenda...

I like **wearing Daisy**Duke(s)...

Weirdo.

MR. wet behind the ears only ripped the New England Patriots for 172 yards as a starter. He's not a rookie anymore and was either a runner or receiver with the ball in his hands 82 times last year. Samules is the primary back up, and if the Steelers are smarter they increase his work loans and decrease Conner's, keeping them both fresh. I think this is the thinking going into next season.

The 3rd string Rb is a low priority type of player. Always is. Anyone can say but what happens if your fist and 2nd string player go down. I could ask the same for lots of positions.

Yes--Duke will sign for more than a rookie free agency running back. We both know it. And we know the Steelers will not be drafting a back in early too.

We have plenty of rookie free agents every year.

I'd be okay with a 6th or 7th round pick being spent on a back, especially if he can return kicks and cover them well. Or a rookie free agent. And that player will be MUCH cheaper than what Duke Johnson signs for. My point is the Steelers are not going to shell out big bucks for a 3rd string back.

Nobody said they would shell out big money. And no they don't draft a RB every year. If they draft one they are addressing the 3rd position. If they bring one in they are addressing depth as well. Which would be a check mark off on one of the things I said needs addressed.

I also think RB will be addressed before round 6/7 if a FA isn't brought in.

You are a frigging idiot. We can now say why we know why you you got demoted.

Name once in the last 20 years 3 RBs, especially a vet, wasn’t on the team. It’s an off-season priority. It is every year they don’t have three in the position room. The premise of the thread was the possible availability for Johnson. Hunt by no means is a permanent fixture, as he has one strike left. And I never opined to “spend a lot of money” on Johnson. I said a “modest” contract. Not something that would burden the cap.

There are only so many civil adjectives to identify your ignorance and self idolatry. The draft can’t get here soon enough to give this board relief to your nonsense.

Until they find out Hunt's suspension, Duke isn't going anywhere. Also Cleveland has plenty of cap space so cutting Duke isn't a priority.

And they only save 800k vs the cap to chuck him. I doubt he moves.
