If I was Ballard, I'd still want to have the guy on the team, and I'd be motivated to resign him for the exact same reasons he was motivated to sign him earlier this year - maybe even moreso, given the criticism now being expressed about the signing due to the injury.

As for those decrying the loss of Cain, nothing against him or anything but the guy has caught exactly 2 passes for the Steelers. Can we give it a bit more time before fitting him for the gold jacket? Keep in mind that even the Steelers weren't interested in him when he was first cut by the Colts and was available to every team as a free agent. Nobody claimed him. It wasn't until he was added to the practice squad that he was signed away. And I don't recall a whole lot of tears shed here when he was originally cut - just a lot of "best of luck to him, sorry it didn't work out" kind of stuff. Now the guy has a (tiny) bit of success with the Steelers and suddenly he's an example of poor roster management - I thought you wished him well? Gimme a break.

Bullshit I’m always on here. Just because I don’t post everyday don’t mean shit. Sometimes I just read and you guys have covered all the issues or I agree with what’s said. I was one of the main people talking most off the ledge when Luck retired

Didn’t you get the memo? Cain is the greatest receiver to play the position. I think you might be mixing me up with someone else.

I don’t care about Cain, he did zero for us. I think we need to fix the QB first before it will impact the receivers. To me, this was essentially Cain’s rookie year, he belonged on the practice squad or at the end of the depth chart. He also regressed from the guy they saw in camp.

As for Funchess I would likely move on and invest in a draft pick. It’s a great WR class and there are guys with the same physical attributes as Funchess who will be younger, cheaper, and maybe have better hands. I wasn’t big on Funchess bc his hands are inconsistent and I thought we already had a big play TE with inconsistent hands.

Anyway a good QB will make the WRs better. But this HAS to be addressed in the off season. You need a passing game in this league, you can’t just run the ball all the time.

I’m just sick of nobody holding Ballard accountable because he drafted 2 all pros it’s like he gets a pass on everything now

Didn't intend to direct that part of my comment at you specifically, just those have been vocal recently about the Cain's performance with the Steelers.

No, you're just sick of nobody else agreeing with your opinion of Chris Ballard, so you come on here and state it over and over again. How exactly would anyone here hold him accountable anyway? Stand outside his house with signs or something? Petition Jim Irsay on Twitter? I'm sure he'd be concerned about apballin and some people from the internet wanting to hold him accountable. C'mon man...

Coming from the dude that backed Pagano until the end.

Pagano is a good coach, he got another job as I said he would when everybody here said no way in hell. Nobody on here mentions Ballards fuck ups this season, I’m talking about on here not social media bs

He’s done pretty well in the draft. And got blindsided by a coach and a QB. Either of which could be the downfall of any other GM. I think he succeeded in finding a good coach. Now it’s up to him and his staff to fill the toughest position in sports.

I do think he gets a pass too much. Sitting on that much money is kind of ridiculous. I don’t care what your philosophy is. But he has done some good things and we have lots of young players that show promise. I don’t like everything about Ballard, but I think he has shown more than a lot of GMs.

They need to do both. They have exactly one known quality WR in TY. We know next to nothing about Campbell and rookies don’t often make an instant impact at WR. That is way too thin. It doesn’t have to be Funchess, but they need to acquire someone they believe in that has more than 30 career catches going in to next season.

I didn't say anything about Pagano. You don't even know who you're replying to. Your shit is tired, yo. Take it somewhere else

I'm fine with that. I would bring in a guy with solid hands and is willing to teach as well. Here is the predicted FA list for next year. I think tackling the issue through FA and the draft is a good way to address it. If they draft a QB it is usually common practice to draft some receivers that can grow with him as well.

A.J. Green is a UFA next season and the dumbass Bungholes didn't try to trade him and get something for him?

If healthy, he's the guy I would be going after.

Pagano is a DB coach which is as good as it should ever be for him. If you’re saying he was a good head coach you need to give it up. He was terrible

Puck 12-05-2019 09:32 PM

I’m guessing the Bears uniforms were a Pagano idea

I never said that. I said you only turn up when the team's struggling.

I'm not mad. I'm just calling you a clown.

No shit.

He will be 32 next season missed 7 games in 2018 and every game this season so far. Just something to ponder age and health :cool:

How did he fuck the defense up? They’re ranked 7th in the NFL and lost Hicks for the season. The defense isn’t why they’re losing

Because they are a far cry where they were from last year, while creating much fewer turnovers. Pagan o ruins everything....including Thanksgiving.

#1 passing offense has 59 passing yards and 7 points at half

You can't truly believe that the Cowboys have a #1 offense? Every time they play a decent defense they come up small.

Pagano out coaching Garrett sand Kellen Moore is not much of an endorsement either.

#1 offense against crap teams and in garbage time maybe.

Yeah, plenty of young stud WRs in this year's draft.
