What if the Steelers had a 1st round CB who started 5 games in 3 years and had some nice plays, some not so nice plays, and ran his mouth about being awesome and wanting to be super-awesome? Hmm, we'd probably be laughing about Tomlin having no control over the players and their blathering egos. Well, let's see what Dre K can do.
Lots and lots of this.
Every time something like this comes up, the first thing I do is read the comments and then try to think of what that same person would be saying had this been a Ravens or Steelers player instead.
Oh man, what fun that is. Is there ANY chance whatsoever that Dre wouldn't be getting the "bust" label from most of these guys if he were on a division rival's team instead??
I've been a big fan of #27 since we drafted the kid, but it makes me laugh when people treat our guys so much differently than others around the league. Objectivity and Jungle Noise just don't really go together much.
