Agreed. We have NOT been given what we want yet, which is a franchise QB.

Matt Cassel didn't count in 2009 and he doesn't count now.

I'm not too keen on Dorsey as GM, and here's why: I think he would try to trade for Flynn from the Seahawks and then draft Luke Joekel with the #1 pick.

I want a HC hired first and then a GM who will go out and get the players that the HC wants and needs for their vision to be implemented.

The head coach I want is Chip Kelly. I want an aggressive, shit down your throat playing and coaching style. Chip Kelly will do that in the NFL. I can handle losing. As a Chiefs fan, I'm used to it. At least go balls to the wall instead of playing not to lose (when you are already behind).

If Joel Philbin passed on Matt Flynn, I don't have any reason to think that anyone else from the Packers tree would want him either.

Four complete seasons and the team does not have a QB; does not have a Head Coach; doesn't have an Offensive nor a Defensive Coordinator. It doesn't matter what the rest of the team looks like, without those pieces you have nothing. I think it is safe to say that Pioli has failed about as hard as one can fail.

I would have to hope that he's not that stupid. Hopefully if there's one thing Packers people learn from being in the system is that the system is only as good as you make it. Trying to siphon off from the greatness you were a part of is a mistake made by reeruns like Pioli, who thinks building a great football team means eating the corn out of the shit that came out of the asshole of the Patriots organization. Why does he think that? Because that's all he's ever known, and that's all he was ever trained to do.

Schneider did sign away Flynn, but considering his team's draft position in 2012, I wouldn't have been too optimistic about finding a franchise guy in the first round either, especially since Miami traded UP to go get Tannehill. I have to think that the team's willingness to go with Wilson once they discovered him on the team is indicative of the way they view acquiring talent.

Then stop using the bad argument that he couldn't coach players or that he was the sole reason tyler palko started.

I wonder if the Colts try and keep Arians? Whats the condition of Pagano? What if his health gets worse during the offseason?

[Hammock Parties]

Mecca never uses his toilet brush, I'm quite certain of this, so we need to find someone else's toilet brush to **** him with. I'm thinking luv's toilet brush will suffice.

Are we still talking about Todd Haley on this forum?

The Steelers offense certainly isn't better with Todd Haley.

Who could win with that QB? I mean RB; I mean offensive line. I mean GM. I mean...

All of the evidence is wrong. Wrong I say.

Mike Wallace hates his offense. No running back can get into any rhythm.

Anyone praising Haley needs their head checked. Praise him, but knock Arians?

GTFO.

I don't think Haley is an offensive guru by any stretch. But I've seen a lot of Steelers games with buddies who are diehard Steeler fans. You are exaggerating the problem. The RBs can't get into rhythm because Mendenhall has missed almost the entire season. And what RB can get into rhythm when you have three offensive line starters out?

I know Wallace hates the offense. Big Ben does too. But you have to keep in mind that the Rooneys fired Arians because they were tired of seeing Big Ben freelance and get hit 10 times a game. The new offense has Big Ben getting rid of the ball faster and doing less freelancing, and that opens up less opportunity for Wallace. You can disagree with the philosophy if you want to, but that's coming from the Rooneys down.

Provided they can manage the tall task of scoring at least 5 points at home against Cleveland on Sunday, the Steelers will have scored more points per game this year on offense (currently 20.3) than they did a year ago (19.4).

And that's with being in their first year in a new system, Mendenhall missing most of the year, Ben getting hurt, etc. etc. They were scoring 23 a game before Ben's injury, so the improvement could have been even better than the slightly better status it's currently at.

But even slightly better is still better.
