Let’s pickup the subject that you seem not interested in ...... Bert Jones and Terry Bradshaw. As I stated earlier, both Jones and Bradshaw were awful in the first 2 years ...... in fact, Bradshaw was bad for FOUR years between 1970 and 1973. In fact, he was bad enough that Chuck Noll started Joe Gilliam in the first 6 games of the 1974 season after Gilliam played better than Bradshaw in the pre-season. Even though Gilliam didn't play that badly, Noll had an instinct that Bradshaw was his man for the long-term, so he reinstated him as the starting QB in the 7th game of the 14-game season. In the first Super Bowl that the Steelers won, Bradshaw was not a factor, as it was all Franco Harris and the Steelers' defense that carried the day to beat the Vikings. But in the next 3 Super Bowls (1975, 1978, and 1979) Bradshaw shined, especially in the final 2 Super Bowls in which he won back-to-back MVP's. So ...... how many Steelers fans were screaming to "throw in the damned towel" in regard to getting rid of Terr Bradshaw in those first 5 seasons between 1970 and 1974 ??? A lot. In fact, most of them. The fans didn't get their way, Noll made what HE THOUGHT were the right moves, and the rest is history. Bert Jones had a similar story to Bradshaw with a an awful start to his career, except that he only had 2 very bad season in 1973 and 1974 before he started to shine in 1975, and then won the MVP of the league in 1976. Ted Marchibroda didn't throw the towel in on Bert Jones after 2 bad seasons. Colts fans are glad that he didn't. Chuck Noll didn't throw the towel in on Terry Bradshaw after 4 and-a-half bad seasons. All of the Steelers fans that were screaming for Bradshaw's head were glad that he didn't. You want to throw the towel in on Anthony Richardson after his first full season in the NFL ...... I'm glad that you aren't making that decision. o

Ok right off the bat, Bradshaw was considered the best QB coming out of high school that year. He played 4 years of college football only started 2 and had 6 thousand passing yards. *Started every game * his junior and senior seasons. Your comparison ends there for me. Richardson keeps getting a pass because of his age, Will Levis is in the exact same position and Titans are done with him. How long did the Steelers give Kenny Pickett?

Picket was also 3 years older when drafted, started almost 4 times as many games in college, and started 9 more games for Steelers than AR has for the Colts. There is a pretty good argument that AR shouldn’t have even seen the field yet. The fact so many are already ready to move on from him shows how colossally Ballard has fucked this team up. You don’t draft a guy so young, so immature, and so raw at 4 and fucking bail this quickly. They’ve done absolutely nothing to support or develop him. Nothing. |

o No, I'm not ready to throw the towel in on a 22 year-old QB who just sustained another injury to his throwing arm. Are you having fun gleefully celebrating the misfortune of a Colts player to show how prudent you are ??? o
