Speaking of JF, I was driving through Erie PA coming home from vacation last week and spotted a guy wearing a Johnny Football shirt.  I damn near ran off the road.

Sample was hands down the worst draft pick of the Taylor era. Terrible pick at that point of the draft.

Recall how we all had Devin Bush targeted for our pick...only to have the Stealers trade up just before our pick and take him?

Well, Bush ended up being a turd who regresses every year. So they merely saved us from ourselves.  But not only that,   if we had taken him we likely would not have drafted Germaine Pratt in the third Rd.  A player who only keeps getting better and IMHO has turned into clutch and stud LB...that Pit will have to face for another 3 years.

Just a satisfying tidbit for my fellow Stealer haters...

I think the funny part is that everyone thought we were going to take a LB.  I don't think that was ever the plan for us - it was OT all the way.

I dunno... He sucks and all but he's still in the league. They traded up for Finley. Just that lil bit of extra effort puts that one over the top for me.
