The Steelers trade for TE Vance McDonald

I got 5 legit drops. 2 a defender knocks it away. 2 that maybe in a perfect world a better athlete reaches back and gets.

I mean that's no worse than anyone else on the roster.

I counted 4

When the pass is not accurate (like behind) or that McDonald is very well cover, I do not count it as a drop.

For reals. Some of those throws were just wrong.

I counted 3 drops, and three were in the area but wide and would have been tough catches

After the lowlight,now the highlights....

No question he's an upgrade over the three stooges we now have, so that is a good thing. Seems like a high character kid too, always a plus.

outstanding trade. looks like one of Belicheat's classic trades where he gives up little to nothing for a little known commodity and makes him blow up. Lets be real, the 49ers are going to be bottom feeders and the steelers are going to be near the top, meaning the 4th round pick we gave up will be a late 4th rounder and the 5th round pick we gain will be an early 5th rounder. We essentially moved back a few spots to acquire Vance. And yes, that contract looks alarming, but its a very easy contract for us to get out of if we need to. And this is the kind of tight end we've been looking for all along. I was pissed that we didnt get it done during the draft, especially moments like drafting Dobbs when George Kittle was on the board, but im really happy with this one. Super low risk, super high potential reward

Will we see him Thursday night?

Back in 2013, over at Steelers Fever, a lot of people were high on Vance.

So... he's got that going for him.

Well at least McDonald is better than the three we have, but then again Kittle pushed McDonald out the door, you can see why. Blocks like a OT, runs a 4.5 forty, great hands and can do this after the catch, all in a R4 package if we would have taken him.

Not totally true. There's new management in San Francisco as well that want "their players" there and as usual, they clean house on players that make "too much" or don't fit their schemes. Maybe they thought Kittle was better than McDonald, but not the sole reason they "pushed him out the door".

I can agree with that, they got a younger, better player at a cheaper price, see ya later Vance.

Look who his quarterback was. Dude has averaged over 14 yards per catch so that tells me he turns it up field. Plus he is huge and could easily be a mismatch. Ben is probably salivating.

If Barnidge was worth a contract he would have one by now.

He had 1 great year, and padded his stats against soft prevent defense because the Browns suck.

james route running is horrible... Vance definately has him beat there

After the game against Carolina, Vance was asked if the Steelers told him what role will he fill, he replied saying "we're going to win a championship (that's all I heard)"
