    10 minutes ago he's a "terrible lead back". Now he's average.

    You take a lot of hits but at least you're consistent, DD. ;)

    He is a terrible lead back, You can't be a lead back if you are average....

    And yes, I am consistent.....I am just on another mental plane than average joes.

    :)

    Not saying that is a good thing.....lol.

    Man, I could not give that guy away, and could not release him, all the good running backs were snatched up.

    This is a keeper league, you get to keep 2 players a year so the studs are never available.

    You have to have a keen eye.......I finished really poorly that year.

    This year though, I am leading the league.

    Kept McCoy and AJ and drafted Mathews in the 4th round.......

    Well, DD, I promise you he'll have his third consecutive 1,000 yard season this year. And many more to come.

    If that's the mark of an average player then so be it.

    (....if he doesn't fumble in the SB, people might be singing a different tune about Rashard)

    1000 yards in 16 games is not all that impressive....

    The Steelers offensive line is sub-par to put it delicately.

    They ****ing suck, to put it not-so delicately.

    Their defense hasn't been up to their usual tricks, they can't run the ball, about the only thing they can do is have Big Ben chuck one up to Mike Wallace deep and hope he comes down with it.

    Um, when they're behind in all these games, yes they will.

    He'll wind up with 900 or so yards and 250 something carries.

    Unless their OL magically stops sucking.

    They are good enough to not get behind.. Yall reading too much into the post Pittsburgh Super Bowl complex.....only problem with that is : They didnt win....

    They're O-line has always been a problem since the days of Neil Odonnell... They wont stop running guraranteed..

    No, they're not good enough.

    Their O-Line has been one of the best in the NFL for the better part of a decade until recently.

    They led the NFL in average number of rushes per game over the entire 2000s... and the last time they had major OL problems, 2009, they fell all the way to 19th in rushing attempts. This team looks a hell of a lot more like the 2009 team than the 2010 team.

    The Steelers defense isn't what it once was, they can't run the ball anymore to mask that... now it's just Big Ben playing Chuck and Duck with Mike Wallace.

    Maybe its because we dont have a sports almanac taped to our groin area .... quoting stats and stuff just to make it seem like we know what we speaketh...Who has time for that or wants to prove a point that damn bad?... This is all opinionated talk so why try and tear me down with a stat... We were gettin along just fine until the "Im wrong , you're right, look at me, hold your hand up if u agree with me " talk you attempt to pull everytime theres a disagreement...

    Just bring some substance to the table, dude.

    Anyway, fear not. Cause the Steelers can't run the ball or protect Roflberger.

    Texans win Sunday. Book it.
