He's ugly as the day is long, but he CAN throw a football, and that's his WEAKER skill set.

The Rats are gonna be tough.
 
They're offensively dynamic and keeping them under 30 is going to be very hard to do. Barring a rash of injuries, they should cruise to the division title esp since the schedule isn't looking very difficult. Still gotta show they can win in the playoffs though.
 
The division is through each other. They have to play the Steelers twice and still have to go through KC and NE. Steelers have a shot here, and we'll know a lot better after next week's MNF game.
 
Weather hasn't even turned cold yet. Lets wait and see how the season unfolds. We need to keep pace so we can have home field and hopefully the douchebag politicians will start letting a safe amount of fans into stadiums to create a home field advantage.
 
I'm not happy about it, but Jackson is a legit franchise QB.

He's like Mike Vick with much more accuracy and patience as a passer.

I still think he's going to eventually have health and durability issues.
 
Ravens will be tough like they always are. Hope we can atleast split the season with them.

Steelers play lazy. Its like they never learn. You can't wait to get punched in the mouth, then try to rally back.
 
He has elite running back skills and is a serious passing threat anywhere on the field...sucks.
 
The Rats coaching staff is using him correctly. However these running QB's get hurt sooner or later. Jackson does not look like a durable type to me.

He's already taken a decent amt of big hits and he seems to take them just fine. We need to move on from the whole "just another RGIII" conversation, it's pretty ridiculous at this point.
 
You know I watched a bit of that Rats game and the thing that impressed me most about him - not his throws or his runs. There was a play where the pocket was just methodically falling to ****. Defensive players were penetrating at different layers an Jackson just smoothly glided from one rusher's reach and then when another came along he just effortlessly shifted away from him, all the time looking downfield before he makes a 20+ yard throw. But the effortlessness with which he avoided those rushers was honestly alarming.

Ben doesn't so much avoid them as step out of their grasp or bounce away from their hits. Jackson was like a reverse polarity magnet, just effortlessly sliding away from pressure throughout the play.

That sucked.
 
Do we even need to play the Flucking GAME? Just curious but asking for a friend.






Salute the nation
 
Wait and see what happens after he suffers his 1st significant injury. Running QB's usually don't do as well passing once their threat to run skills have diminished.

To me, this is where Hairball has really distinguished himself from Shades. I can't see Tomlin ever winning with creativity or revamping a system the way Hairball has done.

Shades got outflanked by his rival running a Service Academy offense.
 
I know this isn't a popular opinion, but if the Steelers can't get it done, of course, i wouldn't mind LJ and Ravens win the SB. He wins the SB into his first contract, that next extension is Patrick Mahomes level. That's a lot of money invested in your QB, for a long time and that has to trickle down around him. If it screws up their cap in a small way, I'm good with it.
We will be seeing him for the next 8-10(?) years, though, so our braintrust has it's work cut out for them.
 
if they had the rpo back in 97-98 Kordell would of been as good as jackson looks right now

mmmmnah, i don't think so. kordell was fast, but i never saw him slipping around and through what looked to be sure tackles, the way jackson has been doing.
