    The Steelers have Big Ben, Gradkowski, and Landry Jones so it's doubtful Boyd will make the team unless there's an injury or he looks great. They signed him like most teams do to carry 4 Qbs in training camp. Based on press reports last year Idzik gave Rex a pick and he chose Boyd who was Sammy Watkins Qb at Clemson where Rex's son plays. As for Bohanon. He was an excellent 7th round pick and a starter his rookie year. He got injured. So to some of you I guess that means he sucks and should be cut.

    Boyd was a helluva QB at Clemson and the absolute leader of that team.

    Let's see what he does. I'm not dismissing him as an NFL QB but we'll see.

    I don't really follow college football, but I read once that had Boyd cone out a year earlier would have been first rounder. the problem with the nfl today is rookie qbs are expected to be solid from the start. No one given development time any more.. Why there are so many shitty qbs.. There no learning and passing of the torch period . It's play and if you struggle., you Suck go away. Lol

    The dude had a massive arm, accurate and could run. Torched my Orangemen for a 50 spot. Was outstanding.

    I'm not sure he won't have an NFL career. Needs some seasoning.

    Boyd sucked balls in college. He was blessed with amazing wide recievers and still managed to piss it away in big moments. His accuracy was not at the NFL level

    He never should've been drafted and was only taken cause he was butt buddies with Rex's kid. The rest of the league probably laughed at us.

    He showed his true colors EARLY in training camp--- like the 1st day

    We're all just guessing.

    I was right on Teddy and Carr. Was right on Geno and Manuel.

    I also love Winston. Does he suck?

    They all do, but there is no climate for that anymore.. Many many yeRs ago. Lol no matter when you drafted a guy or what expectations where they almost never started as a rookie. Spent atleast one year learning.

    It's possible. I saw him in the Fxfl and he didn't have it. But like any player he can improve. I kind of didn't like Idzik giving Rex his own personal pick. And then he selects a guy he personally liked. As usual making a travesty out of everything.

    I deleted my post cuz I didn't want to be rude. But ftr, it's been one year, you're not right on Carr yet. He was gritty but not very good last year. You were dead wrong on Bortles btw. And yes, Winston sucks.

    Boyd is actually pretty comparable to Geno Smith.

    As a person yes. He does. I was in an elevator recently and struck up a conversation with an Oregon Ducks fan (he was wearing Ducks gear). We started talking about Mariota and Winston. As soon as Jameis's name came up his wife chimed in and said she hates the guy. I kind of agreed with her. I'm rooting for the Jets not to draft him. Winning football games isn't everything.

    That's funny because when I read your post it sounded very close to Geno's scouting reports

    I am so right on Carr.

    I knew nothing of Bortles before the draft season, saw very little of him and was, against my usual judgement, going with the flow. Big guy, big arm, saw some great film on him and I wouldn't be shocked if he becomes a player. But he was never one of my favs.

    He was never in my personal Pantheon of Teddy and Carr.

    Who I'm right about.

    And I'm not so sure Winston sucks. At all.
