Game Thread: Steelers @ Texans 4:30pm ET NBC

[Ojb81]

He was lights out from what I saw this year...no doubt. I can't recall if I saw a full game from him, but it seems that everything from him were 60 yd TD bombs. Obviously he had some other plays in there, but I guess I want to see more.

Like I said, I'll wait till next year until I can get a better read on the guy.

fair enough.

Im not sold on his health........Most great QB's are so strong in the lower body, these toothpick leg QB's dont have a great survival rate in the NFL.....second major knee surgery for the kid already

I'm not so worried about the injured knee as I am about his overall play - like I said...just seemed like everytime I saw him, it was a 60 yarder to Hopkins or Fuller, and that comes off as more fluky.

Seems like a great kid. The NFL needs more good people.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

i disagree. he's a much better version of robert griffin. granted, we'll see if he becomes an injury problem like rob, but if they can protect him, he'll be one of the better AFC qb's

Hope so, not enough talent like his to go around in this league....How many individual players that have gone down and made their teams unwatchable this season, amazing...

Just a happy recap of QB's the Browns "Couldnt use" in the last 3 years

Deshean Watson
Carson Wentz
Jared Goff

Unless Houston makes a big comeback, I guess I have to ask what the fuck is Pittsburgh doing? Someone gotta tell them that it's down to the wire against weak talent on the road.

That's probably the best argument that Watson will be good.

 

[Debbie Does]

Steelers will win, but not by 9. more like 4 or 5.

Up 20 just before the half.

The over-under is suffering because Houston isn't scoring at all.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

OBrien calls a draw and throws up the white flag on the half

Than lets his QB drop back and get blasted

I hate this guy, and hate the Giants rumor is real

 

[Debbie Does]

They lost some major players.

Their rookie QB is going to be phenomenal.

Ya never know. We see a lot of guys who look great their first year. Then, the DCs of the league figure them out and it's sophomore slump the next year. See Prescott, Dak, as an example.

 

[steelerssb]

Okay, I'll say it.

What the heck is a Taylor Heineke and how is he better than Kaepernick?

RGIII.

 

[Ojb81]

oh, and with this being about the Japanese and what they eat on Christmas, i figure this would be an appropriate time to put this guy in the thread (pretty sure he's Korean, though. "South" Korean, of course)

 

[steelerssb]

What's the deal with offensive coordinators getting super cute at the goal line?

Is lining up and pounding it too boring for some of them?

 

[BottleWalk]

Dungy is a smart guy but when you force people to analyze something in only a few minutes or seconds they really never can give anything insightful. Asked about the panthers-falcons matchup and all he and Harrison can say is "well it's all about Matt Ryan and Cam Newton".....

Sometimes you wonder if stuff like this is why all these sports talk shows and maybe even sports fans themselves have such an oversimplified view of football nowadays that its pretty much just the qbs dueling in a little arena.

Although this game today isn't really making that idea sound too far-fetched, since one team in this matchup has a qb and the other team might as well pick a fan at random, even a steelers one......

 

[Dolemite censored]

So out of that 2012 QB class, there was Luck, RGIII, Tannehill, Weeden, Osweiller, Wilson, Nick Foles and Kirk Cousins; Wilson, Foles and Cousins are still viable, with Wilson being the most successful.

 

[steelerssb]

New Texans QB

 

[NinerSickness]

(pretty sure he's Korean, though. "South" Korean, of course)

Yes. North Koreans feast on snow for Christmas.

 

[Ojb81]

Yes. North Koreans feast on snow for Christmas.

snow, and on those extra-prosperous years, roasted tree bark and sauteed grass

 

[BottleWalk]

Yates was concussed? How could they tell

In any case maybe heineken will be better, certainly couldn't be worse

 

[gobigred]

Heineken now in tent with possible concussion


You can’t make this stuff up


Does look likes Yates ok to come back in
