    Merged JP threads

    after watching Beg Ben getting a $102 million contract from the Steelers with $36 million guaranteed money.

    After all, the Steelers actually brought JP in for a pre-draft visit, but they never even contacted Roethlisburger once before they took him in that draft.

    The Steelers did it right...they got a complete team around the position first.....then pluged the qb in last. That is how you groom a young qb.

      Re: JP gotta be upset right now

      Why should JP be upset? He was not drafted by the Steelers. He was given a chance. People come and go. Trapper went home and they kept coming. Frank went home and they kept coming. Henry was killed and they kept coming. They'll keep playing after JP has retired. The goal is to make as much of your opportunity when it arises.
      I'll even hari kari if you should me how but I will not carry a gun.

        He should be upset. He should be upset he didnt do the most with the opportunity that was literally handed to him.
        I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
        "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
        You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
        It was all
        true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
        He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
        mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

          I would be upset too if I was drafted by a crappy organization. Thats what we were back then.

              Great post, if the steelers would have drafted JP, he probably is getting the big contract extension! Just saying.

                  Maybe he didn't like the houses in Pittsburgh.

                        Most likely the Steelers never would have made it to the Super Bowl if that happened.

                          Serious Question for JP fans

                          I keep reading from various posters "I am a big JP fan". Im not spamming, but what exactly are you a fan of? I get it he's a good guy. But what else what makes you a fan of his?



                          Thanks

                            what if Trent gets hurt and jp leads us to playoffs with this new core of guys

                            do you think he would stay?

                            No so lets atleast get something for him

                              really? Eli won a sb . One can argue that JP would've been as good if not better if he was drafted by the giants.
