    And if the Steelers don’t show significant progress this year? Tomlin has to go. Evidently his “standard” is trying to play fantasy football.

      Though I am starting to open up to Wilson just a little… I’ve read that part of his problem with teammates is they view him as not being “black” enough. Carlton Banks is a nickname for him.

        Yeah, it's been chaotic since Ben began to fade.

          Sorry, but I’m not going to root for a Jersey. The Steelers ran their organization a bit differently. They’d sign FA, but the mid tier guys. The grunts. They would pay their own, though. Build through the draft. That was the approach. They’ve done Mason wrong

            Agreed. So did Cleveland with Flacco.

              Just watched Wilson’s press conference. I might be turned around. He came across as a really good guy. Snd yeah, I can see the Carlton Banks comparison. Not in looks, but in demeanor. Well spoken, intelligent, and excited. I can see where some would feel he wasn’t “black enough”.

                      Hope Wilson works out. I suspect the well was so poisoned in Denver, that nothing he could do would change some perceptions

                        Pickett to the Eagles!!! Didn't see that coming. I guess he changed his professional attitude once Wilson was signed.

                            Evidently Pickett demanded the trade when he was told Wilson would have pole position for the competition. Kid’s gotta grow up.

                            But…I’m better with Wilson, but I am down on Tomlin right now.

                                There were 2 fan quarterback ideas that I absolutely hated. Sign Russell Wilson or Trade for Fields. Both were bad ideas, IMO. Well, Pittsburgh did both.

                                      Obama is 50% black, Wilson is 63% black.

                                      Also fun fact, Tiger Woods is 38% black, 12% white, and 50% asian. But you never hear about him being the first Asian golfer....

                                        Didn’t mean it like that… Russell Wilson has black parents.. I meant that some of his teammates didn’t like the fact that he didn’t act black. He acted and sounded white.
