Sean Mahan

[HometownGal]

Mahan is a natural G and has had to adjust to the C position with the Steelers. I'm not going to ride him out of Pittsburgh after his first 10 games with the team for God's sake. Maybe he is the heir apparent to Faneca and then we'll be able to see him in his natural position. You people need to learn the art of patience. It's not like the guy totally stinks up the OL - for the most part, he's done his job imho, but he doesn't look like the brute I saw in TC. That's basically all I was saying in my first post.

I agree with you HTG..I think the best five O-linemen are starting every sunday...but I still wonder if Simmons might not be a better fit at Center..and Mahan would be a better guard.

Mahan has played like garbage all year long. It is way too obvious

OK, you've posted six times in this thread, each one saying basically the same thing. Clearly you feel very emotionally about your subject. If I have no idea what I'm talking about, then instead of blanket one-line statements saying he's crap and should be cut, why not produce some stats and factual information that back up your position?

Informed opinions are eagerly welcomed by all in this forum, even when we disagree. But I don't appreciate being told that I don't know what I'm talking about, when every single time I post, I back it up with information and ideas that support my position. You absolutely don't have to agree with me, but please show me the courtesy of telling me why.

OK, disagreeing with someone is one thing, but telling someone they don't know what they're talking about is another. What exactly makes you such an expert? Please cool it.

I agree jazzy.

C'mon people - show a little respect to your fellow Steelers fans, huh?

As far as I can see Mahan seems to be holding his own. He may have slacked off the last game but from the entire season stand point, he isn't all that bad.

It's a good thing we aren't NASA. With this many experts all of such varying opinions, we couldn't make a paper airplane fly, let alone a satellite or space shuttle!

Did you not see Donnel Woolford play CB as a replacement for Woodson?

How about Travis Davis at Safety?

stats? they dont keep stats for playing like crap

And I dont buy the whole 'transition' from guard to center BS. You either know how to block or not. Hartings had no trouble at all with the transition

Hartings was also an All Pro offensive lineman at Guard before he came to Pittsburgh. Mahan was not and probably never will be.
