Joe really seems to have some extra motivation going into this season and IM HERE FOR IT. Pissed off Joe is something im excited for. He knows (rightly so) that this year is the fork in the road year for him. If he finishes another season on IR suddenly people forget about him and look at him as damaged goods. However if he can stay healthy and play the way we know he can, he can cement himself in the mount rushmore of current QB's. I'm just crossing my fingers he stays healthy. I dont know why we can't have a great QB without injury problems.... Look how reckless Big Ben played and he never had a season ending injury. The Steelers luck is so crazy compared to ours. It would be nice if that changed.

JB: I’m going to give people something to talk about this year. I’m excited about it.”

Me to Joe, can't wait

No one has ever accused JB of Not being cocky.

I believe him.

2028 flag football team will be legit!

I worry about him. He's not an Eifert yet, but every injury stacks up.

  100% agreed
.

I think that Joe with his success at LSU, then the Super Bowl his second year, AFC Championship year 3, and then last year has resonated. How you say? I think he was pretty confident. I think the staff was pretty confident.You need confidence. But they kinda got scouted. Teams started double teaming Chase and Tee. We didn’t have an answer. I think Joe realizes whether it’s utilizing all his receivers …. tight ends or going under center is needed. Winning in the NFL is hard. Damn hard if your QB misses games. I think it’s been good for the staff. Basically all I’m saying is it’s a hungry group all the way around.

Agree with all of this. I also believe Joe learned some things watching the offense under Browning in addition to the staff. This could be a very dangerous year for the rest of the league if Joe can stay on the field. I can't wait for September.

That is probably the most relaxed interview I've ever seen Joe give

Well said Wyche. That was a great learning experience for Joe last season watching Jake. He saw what was possible when not putting
everything on his and his WR's shoulders like it seemed earlier in the season. I know we didn't run the ball much more with Browning 
but we did it enough and effective enough to where it got some respect and more under Center play is just less predictable and helps 
out the OL and takes pressure off of the QB a bit.

No doubt

ooof u got me. I had forgotten that in Bens SIXTEENTH season he had a serious injury. For ALL of his prime he dodged these serious injuries and somehow was ALWAYS healthy in the heat of the playoffs/playoff races. My point stands.

I think we have a nice set of options at receiver/ tight end this year.  Getting Gesicki and drafting Burton along with what folks have been saying about Iosivas totally changes the landscape on that problem this year.

But it underscores the needs of the unique talent that Tee brings.   Got to find a way to keep him.

I agree but looks dim

How does your point stand? You incorrectly said he did not have an injury season injury. Fake news!!!! 

In Joe MF'ing Cool I Trust !
