2023 NFL offseason thread

It struck me while posting this that this board's criticisms of Ben Roethlisberger span his entire career and somehow undersell just what a floating turd in the punchbowl he really is.

Ben Roethlisberger admits he initially didn't want Kenny Pickett to succeed with Steelers; here's what changed

 

Isn’t todays version of the sweep, the jet sweep? You can run it out of a variety of formations, with or without motion, and keeps an aggressive defense honest.

 

I openly mock anybody who falls for his redemption arc. He was an idiot and a shitty person in college. He was an idiot and a shitty person early in his pro career. He remains an idiot and a shitty person today.

 

SHUT UP FANBOI NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU THI--oh wait, you agree with me.

The best/worst part of all this is Roethlisberger the serial sexual abuser has daughters. The universe sometimes has a sense of twisted humor.

 

Or the bubble screen, which gets run a bit more often.

 

To be fair, I'm not sure I'd call him a serial sexual abuser because I only take one of his accusers seriously. I have a hard time believing the other accuser, the hotel employee, whose own friends said that she bragged about having sex with him for a year until he came back to town again and blew her off. That said, I have no problem believing there were other women he mistreated/abused because he was and is that much of an entitled asshole. There just haven't been any others who came forward.

 

No surprise here.

 

This is a version of the emergency third quarterback they used to have. The league was stupid to get rid of that in the first place.

 

There's still a traditional toss sweep. I feel like I've also seen the Niners run some version of the Gibbs Counter Trey, too.

 

Oh yeah. My point was that the jet sweep is ubiquitous, especially with the spread offense.
