@poconokid18@Blitz_Burgh DK has tendencies but George would've never jumped in and ran gunner on a punt when the team needed him like DK did. George wouldn't block unless he was cheap shotting a DB. Half the time, George wouldn't run a route if he wasn't primary. George treated extended staff bad.
@Steelersdepot In my opinion, it actually depends on Dean. If he's at the same level as he was last year, I think they'll be okay using RSJ, Brisker and Jenkins in Elliot's absence. They have Ramsey, Echols, for slot. Samuels has been tough this year!
@Blitz_Burgh Last year I felt that there were several factors leading to Rodgers inefficient results. Inconsistent Oline play. Inconsistent running game. ^
Poor receiver talent. Poor system. Poor strategy. I felt like he didn't have much to work with. Oline is the key this year.
@yinzer_g That's right. I agree completely. So grade them as an I for Incomplete. In my opinion, Khan has gotten good value out of draft picks as a whole.
@GuyMarasco4@THEChrisMack BIG money? Herbig's role is prob gonna escalate considerably. He is ranked around 16th in avg annual and 20 something in guaranteed money. Pretty good value if his play continues to trend up. If Joey is looking to break the market, there is the problem.
@THEChrisMack His play has improved consistently. He is in the discussion of best 6-10 at the position. He HAS outplayed his compensation for 2026. He has not earned a top 3, elite, market setting deal at this point. I hope it can get settled but not by paying above his value.
@Primo_Levi@Blitz_Burgh Herbig, Benton, Washington are all 1A caliber players that they plan to play considerable meaningfull snaps this year. Not exactly "backups". Where do their contracts rank within their positions league wide? It appears Joey wants more than his play has proven at this point.
@KevinAdams26 He hasn't shown enough to get the BIG payday yet, in my opinion. He hasn't shown to be in the elite top 3-4 group yet. Sign a 1 year prove it ext that would throw him a bump this year and a maybe 28 for the following year. He could possibly hold the leverage next year.
