Re: The Steelers should start Randle El at QB next week over Maddox
This is ridiculous. No one here has ever seen Randle El drop back and and read NFL defenses. There is probably a reason he was drafted as a WR and not a QB. Also, what makes you think Randle El could learn the progressions, run the huddle, and do any of the other game management tasks that a QB needs to do? The only way they could make that work would be to throw out the whole playbook and run plays geard toward him.
The Steeler's best option next week is to run plays designed to counter the blitz (like screens, counters, and misdirection tosses), punt when they have to (don't push it on 3rd and long), and win it with their defense. That said, if they had a whole preseason to practice, I think it would be interesting to see how the Steelers could do with 3 RB's, Randle El at QB, and 2 TEs. Or a 2 RB one receiver set with Hines flanking. I think it might just be effective because NFL teams would not be used to playing against anything similar. |

I go there now, and yeah it would be seriously messed up to see two of the NFL's 32 starters comming from IU (Trent Green being the other), I mean what the hell.

Re: The Steelers should start Randle El at QB next week over Maddox
I can't believe Maddox is still in the league.
I understand how impossible the position is for a human being to play, and why there are so many sub-par QBs in the league. But this guy takes ineptitude to a whole other level. I've never said that about the Brooks Bollingers and Tony Banks' of the world. Name the five worse QB's you've ever seen, and I contend that the 2005 Tommy Maddox is worse. You know it's bad when The Sports Guy has a rule that if he picks the Steelers in his Friday column, and they announce Maddox is a starter between then and Sunday, readers are to presume that he is now picking the other team. |

Maddox is a bum. Anyone else think the Steelers would be better off with Antwaan Randle El in there? [/ QUOTE ] I don't want Randle El to start. There's a reason he's not an NFL quarterback. -James |

They said on local tv that Batch hurt his hand on the Ward pass where he set the all time Steeler receptions record. Something about hitting his pinky on a helmet. [/ QUOTE ] He broke it on the running play. -James |

Re: The Steelers should start Randle El at QB next week over Maddox
Keep in mind that Kyle Boller is likely to be lining up on the other side of the field. This should be an interesting battle of ineptitude.
