No need to voice it. We all know why they still call them that. And it's true they never knelt. Not once.

The longer a teams fanbase thinks they have a chance, the longer they keep watching.

Every year there's probably only a couple of really good teams and a couple of really bad teams, and everyone else is comparable. Therefore mistakes, luck and injuries are big factors.

To call the NFL a “complete and utter failure” is……choosing my words carefully….not accurate in even the slightest way.
The NFL is far and away the most popular pro sport in the USA. It’s not even close. The salary cap was a genius move that keeps every fan base interested each year.
MLB would be the same if they had a salary cap. But that’s another story.

Does it offend you? But you did claim KP’s stats against the Browns were an indicator that he might be better than Purdy or LJ because they’re stats weren’t as good against the Browns. Go back and review our posts. You were sticking to it.

Who said it was a racial slur? It's Babe Ruth's nickname because of the Italian word.



I claim that KP will have a great career because of the totality of what I've seen from him, from his first time playing QB for Pitt up until now. His performance against the Browns is just one of many things that I take into consideration when evaluating him, rather than just looking at the most basic of stats like you do. You will see. I hope your knowledgeable friends can impart some knowledge when you pop the bottle with them. It's coming.

I look at everything. You tripled down on the Cleveland game. People can read your words. He had one good year at Pitt. By that time he was a man playing against boys. He was older than everyone else. If he came out a year before, he might not have been drafted. To this point, he’s played one complete qtr of good play in a game. He has a long way to go to be a top tier QB. I’ve seen his numbers, all of them. There isn’t other numbers that you’re looking at. They don’t exist. At this point he’s a lower tier QB. I’m not saying he won’t be a good QB. I said his ceiling is Kirk Cousins. Elite QB, doubtful.

The Cleveland game was one of many things that I have based my evaluation on. At Pitt he showed flashes of greatness starting with his very first game, and became more consistent as his carer there progressed, just like he's doing now. Soon your knowledgeable friends will be drinking your champagne and imparting their football wisdom to you, and then maybe you will understand the potential of KP.

I hope it doesn’t take him 5yrs like it did at Pitt!!!!!

Yeah, 5 years in college alone is a big, red flag.

I’m still holding out hope for Kenny.
He’s got a long way to go though and he’s not young.
I thought he’d be much better at extending plays. Hasn’t improvised well at all but Hopefully things start to slow down for him.

The fact of the matter is, the Steelers could have got Pickett in the second round. The ghost of Dan Marino weighed heavy on Rooneys mind. It shouldn’t have. Pickett is no Marino. Never will be.
