Steelers/NFL
Steelers betting on Rudolph
How much the Steelers like Mason Rudolph in the short term to keep the team competitive in 2019 and the long-term in being the heir-apparent to Ben Roethlisberger is even more evident with the Steelers trading their 2020 first-round pick to the Miami Dolphins tonight for DB Minkah Fitzpatrick, the 11th overall pick of the 2018 draft.
The bold trade for Fitzpatrick is the Steelers sending the message that Mason Rudolph is the future but that the organization is also not punting on the 2019 season and in a sense, trying to still maximize the Ben Roethlisberger window were Ben to return next season as the Big Ben of old. While the organization believes Rudolph will show the football world over the next couple months he is indeed the heir-apparent to Roethlisberger, the Steelers internally are also adamant there is still another year or two run left in the Big Ben window after this season.
The trade for Fitzpatrick proves that.
Fitzpatrick is just 22 years old, has star ability and is really good in a critical area the Steelers continuously get exploited at — the slot —.
Fitzpatrick will help the Steelers immediately and for years to come.
There’s a clear risk for the Steelers here if Mason Rudolph by January looks like more of a long-term backup than a legitimate NFL starter that see’s the Steelers flame out with a 4 to 5 win season and hand the Dolphins a top-5 pick.
On the other hand, this is good to great [hide] value in that the team gets to skip the development phase.
Pittsburgh right now is getting a top-10 talent who is already a stud cornerback at age 22 that will be under team control for four years. [/hide]
this is how sad ZeroTools and his beta Males group are

Typical Liberal/Democrats

Now the left is celebrating having AIDS hahahahahahha
Pitt!
Never mind 🙁
Never mind the never mind 🙂
Sam hopes the Pens sign Dan Girardi.
Justin Trudeau’s 3rd blackface surfaces lmao
but he is not qualified as racist because he is a liberal
Double standards samwise. Could you imagine if 2 white comedians made a movie called “black chicks”
Whites cant it will be called racist but it’s okay when black people do just tired if this nonsense racist agenda.
What more do they want they got blacklivesmatter going on,then they have black history month, BET music channel they had black president , and all the planet of the apes movies. What more do they want these leeches
A somehow oppressed poor white idiot and an obvious racist walk into a bar… stop me if you’ve heard this one lol
the truth hurts sometimes. Go for the name calling when you cant counter an argument. It’s the liberal way
Crying about being oppressed when you’re anything but… poor persecuted con lol. Whaaaaaa the double standards… JFC lol
I mean I could have a rational discourse but you’re not willing to hear it. The fact you cry about the dumbest things you feel slighted over like “white chicks” is ample evidence
I mean come on, you’re having a conversation on this subject with the boards 1a/1b idiot whose openly racist as fuckk which is self evident in crap he’s said in this thread and he’s all over your bullshit points lol. Not every rightwinger is a bigot, that’s obvious, but the bigots think you’re on the same side… case in point… sam!
Best part is people are not letting Trudeau off the hook, that’s **** you and that fucken idiot are assuming. End of the day the hypocrisy of the hyper focus on Trudeau’s dumbfuckery still don’t mask the inherent bigoted policies of the right parties in this country. Again this is pointless because you already feel like you are suddenly an endangered fucken species lol. You’re exactly why terms like white fragility exists… instead of trying to understand another’s POV you react and whine like you’re being attacked. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so pathetic. But you do you… Read more »
You just spewed a bunch of opinions. You’ve proved nothing. In your 3 paragraphs of nonsense, you’ve managed to accomplish nothing.
His idol is beta male trudeau what more do you expect he spews a bunch of promises and never does them. I think it’s a common thing for liberals
Of course not, you’re also lacking the slightest bit of intelligence and your mind that you are so hard done by because black people say cracker is self evident. Regardless the local racist loves your arguments so, at least you have that
Wtf Chabot good player but 8 year 64m. Come on this is a joke. Another lock out on its way
Another overpaid French Defensemen
not as bad as JJ
Pre-season… obviously but the point is to see the non-regulars. Who watched? Who liked what?
Legare 2 but I mean… he’s fucken French and they haven’t been good at hockey since Lemieux retired
Good now you may start drooling over specially that he is not just a pp specialist
But you are missing the most ground breaking hockey news of the day, Price actually played in a SC Finals game… according to Sam(e).
You’re gonna want to read what was said again you fucken dumb shitt
Price is in SC finals form, oh wait….
Hey zeroTool how did your trudeau looked with his face painted black
Oh I forgot you are only labeled racist when you are not a liberal
Only took 24 hours… So what is it sam? Is he funding Islamic terrorists, giving money to illegals and trying to bring in Sharia law or is he a racist? He’s guilty of being very stupid, his white privilege is on display no question. That noted he has owned this, made a couple of sincere apologies and his record with POC and indigenous the last 4 years is significant evidence that he’s grown from this. Now let’s explore your guys… In 2006 Scheer makes a video equating LBGT relationships with having sex with dogs… when asked to recant and apologize… Read more »
Keep it coming you dumb fuckk… you don’t know nearly enough about anything to have this argument. On that note, here is the best article on the subject
https://www.thebeaverton.com/2019/09/trudeaus-popularity-skyrockets-in-quebec-after-revelation-of-brownface-photos/
You are arguing with someone who thinks Price actually went to the SC Finals lol.
Good point,
“his white privilege is on full display” hahahahahaha
This is where the discussion gets difficult for you…
Weak people vote for liberals / democRATS. You are a fake Canadian wannabe American
“Weak people” are afraid “lazy immigrants” will steal their jobs…
And trudeau said he would not revoke Canadian citizensship from Arabs that are gone fighting for ISSIS. You rather support a terrorist then a racist you are a sell out Alberta should seperate from Canada something Quebec should’ve have done long time ago and now it’s too late since father and son trudeau made sure to fill Quebec with disgusting refugees. If Alberta goes referendum and fail liberals will do same to Alberta. Mind you they have already started voting liberals will only open the door for referendum I guess thats what you want you wannabe American
Case in point, you jump all over the Trudeau’s a racist narrative and follow it up with utter ignorance lol. What a chump lol
vegas should trade Fleury they are 2-0 preseason without him
now where is that fat slob npl still playing with his new friend Dorion ?
Even your jokes are weeks behind.
The only problem with talking hockey on a non-hockey article is that fucken dumb shit arrives
What is the difference?
They should trade Fleury because he makes a lot of money and is one of the worst playoff goalies in nhl history. They have a good team, so move him now and use that money for someone that won’t piss their pants in the post- season.
Murray injured yet ?
You are a complete fucken twaat
Has Price played in a single Stanley Cup game yet?
yes he has but you wouldnt know that since your hockey only started in 2018
Really?! When? When did Price play in the SC Finals Sam(e)??? Watching the game on TV does not count, nor do video games! Name the date I will never post here again!
Nice one you said playoffs and then change to SC game. Nice one Stan nice one
Actually I did not. It would say EDIT if I did. Don’t blame your stupidity on others.
I do not edit my posts to fit my narratives like you do. Nice try.
Bahahahahaha hahahahahahaha!!! What a fucken dumbshit
I also must have missed Jim Kelly winning the SB four times in a row.
Penguin commentary: This team is potentially on the verge of losing Jarry for next to fucken nothing. They explored a trade at points last year and didnt like the return. This summer, because of waiver eligibility status, the Pens are handcuffed. The return values have plummeted as he will likely hit the waiver wire to start the year. BRUTAL Management of an asset. On that note… if Gibson can hurt himself for the 1st 2-3 month of the year during the pre-season? The Ducks went in on Faulk from Carolina and he shut the deal down. SO they are still… Read more »
Yikes… Gretz from Pensburgh has noted the idea of moving DeSmith as he has more trade value… I mean at 24 years of age it is highly unlikely Jarry actually becomes the starter he was drafted to be. He has struggled even in the A at times sure. Some of that could be his belief he is ready for the NHL and wants a legit shot so he could have some attitude about his current position. That said… it is a high risk play. DeSmith is very capable as the back up and has shown more poise as a NHL… Read more »
I would keep Jarry then. If Murray is out long term they are done. At least DeSmith has a market and they would get cap savings as well. Guys like DeSmith can be replaced. It’s an easy choice. If they are even this training camp you keep Jarry.
That’s going to be a number 2 or 3 overall pick
I don’t think there drop off will be that bad. I could see it being a top 15, but as is, there’s ar least a half dozen other teams worse.
Bad trade. If you’re going aggressive get J. Ramsey.
head case !!!
