    How do you feel about a player who chooses not to try? Haynesworth put up good stats. Should the Steelers sign him for a huge contract?

    Wallace is on course to have 832 yards and 8 TDs this year. Is that worth $10,000,000 a season?
    those projected numbers are very much like what Plax put up with the Jets and Sanchez throwing to him , his door did not get beat down in FA and he is now on our roster playing for a song and a dance ....

    dam think what Plax could have done with Ben throwing to him and running a 4.25 -40 ( or whatever it is Wallace says he runs )

    What else would you like him to bring to the table?
    1) EFFORT

    2) willingness to fight for the football when its disputed by a defender

    3) HANDS that can be relied upon

    1. Same can be said for many, many WRs in the NFL
    2. Because he is targeted over a hundred times. He also drops a lot of pass and gives up on passes.
    3. So do other WRs targeted over a hundred times.
    4. So do other WRs.

    You haven't made a good case for handing over a huge contract. Basically what you are saying is Wallace has two arms and two legs so he is valuable.

    How do you feel about a player who chooses not to try? Haynesworth put up good stats. Should the Steelers sign him for a huge contract?

    Noone ever said that Miller does not occasionally help out...That is an argument fabricated by Steeldawg after his initial argument about Baron not pass blocking fell apart.

    Those of us who watch the game are all very aware that Heath consistantly blocks on running plays and routinely will assist on certain pass plays.

    ....but the next time you resort to name calling ...it wont be a warning.

    Come on, don't go hard on the dude. It's just a stuck argument. I'd hate to see someone go over something like this.

    I mean, if you're mad about name-calling, think about how tame it is in comparison to one certain guy ...

    Not going hard on him...but want to nip the name calling before it starts.

    I know, but .. do you know how hard it is to paint with bullshit? I can't do it. I can't even paint with regular paint. I think it's a compliment, man. You're an artist. Like this guy:

    You have totally ignored my arguement, again i didnt say baron batch never blocks or couldnt block, how many times do i have to post that!!!! Im not deflecting, the fact is since mike adams has come in the game most of his pass blocking help has been coming from heath miller and even some from paulson. Did baron batch play in some pass protection, yes but its not like the steelers said mike adams is in i guess we have send in our specialist baron batch to help in pass protection. You drasitically overstated the worth of baron batch, The guy hardly got on the field and was never part of any gameplan except when the position was decimated by injury. Really "bs artist" is an attack lol ok i guess i will tone it down. Also i never said i couldnt find an article on batch blocking what i said was i couldnt find an article of batch being specifically called upon to help mike adams, but i certainly could find articles for heath miller. Ive won this arguement 10 times over which is why you have simply resorted to saying "your deflecting".

    Here is my original statement...Which you chose to attack. The one in which you claim I "Over emphasized" Barons contributions.

    Batch is easily our best blocking RB and has been used over and over again to help Adams on the right side with speed rushers
    Do you NOW agree or disagree with it?

No i dont agree with him being the best blocker and he was hardly used over there "over and over again" would imply we use him consistently, which we dont. Again batch was taking up a roster spot that we needed for other positions, he was not valuable, on his best day he would be mediocre so it was an easy decision sending him to the practice squad.

    What the hell is wrong with you? You can't even keep your own statements straight. I'm not trying to attack you, but come on man, your posts are absolutely ridiculous. LLT just showed two of your posts contradicting themselves and you DEFLECT again as you always do. Do you even actually believe anything you write?

    how did i contradict myself, the articles did not talk about batch being brought in specifically to help mike adams in passing situations. And the other None of thge articles or anyone in the steelers organization has declared baron batch our best blocking rb or explains how he is used "over and over" to help mike adams. There is no contradiction there, baron batch still hardly got on feild, was not involved in any schemes that were specifically for baron batch in pass protection, and heath miller still is the main guy being used to help out mike adams.

    Dude...you make statements that contradict each other. When called out on them...or on your outright false statements...you attempt to build a strawman through semantics and deflection.

    There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who seem smart because of their indisputable logic....and those who attempt to look smart by being condescending, when lacking the ability present a logical argument.

    You are doing yourself no favors on this board with the way you choose to debate....it doesnt come across as knowledable...it doesnt come across as logical....it just makes you look like someone who wishes to stand on a busy street with a sign that screams "NOTICE ME"!

    Take a step back and think about what you want from this board....then join in the debates without attitude or condescending statements.

    Heck...you make some good points...but they are lost in the pile of deflection and contradictions that you spoon out every day.

    What in my arguement is not logical?? Please answer this question for me??? I dont want anything from this board i simply put my opinion on here and get attacked. If my opinions are full of contradictions and deflection then why does everyone know what my positions are on certain players???? I dont seek the attention or approval of anyone on this board nor do i care if you think im knowledgable, who are you to judge whos opinion is knowledgable and whos isnt. You all seem too think i care what you think, lets get this straight i dont know you and you dont know me so dont lecture me on what type of person i am or what types of people there are in this world. Ive kept my football debates about football, on the other hand ive been called a "fucking moron" a "joke" everytime i prove my point or back it up with a source im told im deflecting or contradicting myself, so who really cares what anyone thinks here i come to debate football and sometimes politics.

    If you don't care what anyone else thinks why post on a message board? You frustrate me to no end with illogical and unreasonable arguments. And it appears you do the same to everyone else. Do you really think there are just that many assholes here trying to single you out? Even you have to admit that after a certain number of people call you out for the same things there is some truth to it.

    A number of people?? Really its illogical to post on a message board if i dont care what anyone thinks?? Why is that illogical and unreasonable?? No you and steeldude are the only ones, you chase me around every thread making no point and when i prove you wrong you go into name calling mode and your so badly wanting people to rally behind u on here you are just lumping everyone into this board vs. steeldawg. You lost your arguement, you tried to change my quote, you tried name calling, and now your trying for mutiny get off my nuts bro!!

    this is one of those arguments that will never end , nobody is going to give in ( even once they realize they are wrong ) they have far to much time and effort involved trying to prove otherwise ....

    it just might be time for the old " agree to disagree " line to come out but then again we probably won't see that either because that may feel like defeat

    Whether the pass is accurate or not, shouldn't all NFL WRs at least try to out jump DBs for the ball? You say Wallace has a 40" vertical. So why not use it to his advantage? If I am going to pay a WR $10,000,000 a season I expect him to fight for all passes, not watch the DBs take them away.
