But as important as team chemistry and camaraderie is, there has to be a baseline level of talent on the roster to put the team in a position to succeed. You can not just throw some veteran journeymen together, have them become best friends, and then win championships.

Take the Flyers example. Kerr was a 50 goal scorer who if his body hadn't disintegrated would've likely had a much more storied career. Propp was an amazing scoring winger and honestly the hit in the above link might have totally changed his career for the worse -- he was just never the same. The others mostly had long solid careers in the NHL. Hextall was likely the best goalie in the league in his first stint with the Flyers. Sure, they were the "Broadstreet Bullies 2.0" but they also had a pretty good amount of talent up and down the roster.

I remember that Chelios game. Today Chelios would be suspended for 25 games for that cheap shot.

No doubt. It was out of line even then.

Ben and JuJu deserve to be higher that Mayfield and OBJ...Matt Ryan and Julio Jones are too low and Rodgers and Adams are too high...

Uh oh, AB gonna throw a fit that Juju is somewhere rated above him

Yep and AB would be able catch 400 balls from the jug machine while sending out 40 tweets about Ben at the same time.

Make no mistake about it, if there was a do-over for the 2017 draft, Juju would be a first round pick. Dude has done nothing but make plays since his rookie season. Should have gone over 1000 yards if he didn't get suspended, but that hit on Burfict was 100000% worth it :chuckle:

Speaking of 2017 draft, it was one of our best drafts in a long time. 3 pro bowlers, and if Cam Sutton can be a strong contributor on defense, it was a home run of a draft

Ben Roethlisberger: Steelers new No. 1 receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster 'is something special'

Ben Roethlisberger has never been shy when it comes to complimenting JuJu Smith-Schuster. Big Ben, Pittsburgh's future Hall of Fame quarterback, routinely complimented his receiver when Smith-Schuster was in the midst of his breakout rookie season. He continued to do last season -- Smith-Schuster led the Steelers in catches and receiving yards on his way to earning the team's MVP award.

This week, as Pittsburgh wrapped up training camp from Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Roethlisberger again praised Smith-Schuster, who is still just 22-years-old as he enters his third NFL season and first year as the Steelers' No. 1 receiver.

"I think what we've seen from JuJu [during training camp] is what we all anticipated," Roethlisberger said. "He's something special."

While he spent some time this back home in California, Smith-Schuster spent the majority of his offseason at Pittsburgh's training facility, taking part in the majority of the team's voluntary workouts. Like many of the Steelers' returning offensive veterans, Smith-Schuster is driven to show that Pittsburgh's offense can still be an elite unit despite the offseason departures of running back Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown.

"This year is going to be fun," Smith-Schuster said recently on Adam Schefter's podcast. "Having Ben coming back and the new guys on our team, we're going make a lot of noise. We're very quiet [and] under the radar right now, which we like, but when it's time to play, you're going to get the best out of me, each and every game, day in and day out."

Why bury this into this thread and not start a new thread so everyone can see this?? This post has nothing to do with Michael Irvin begging Jerry Jones. Start a new thread...
