Ode to John Kuhn


500 lbs and 10 feet tall
The greatest sports figure of them all

He can hold 5 footballs in one hand
He had all the Dallas Cheerleaders...in a one night stand
His shadow once won a beauty prize
His McFarland figure...... is life-size

He once threw a touchdown...to himself
He has a steel-rebar reinforced trophy shelf.

He can change the orbit of the Moon
Hes Kuhn...John Kuhn.

A paragon..a record slayer
Admitted to the Hall of Fame while still a player.

Not sure if its true, but it's been told
his tears can cure the common cold.

So cool he sweats in cubes of ice,
He has counted to infinity.........twice.

His eyebrows are registered weapons...I'm sure
that Chuck Norris even calls him "Sir"

This ode is finished much to soon
for Kuhn....John Kuhn.

Lots of good and compelling reasons...however, what if this guy pulls a "Marinovich", and goes crazy once he's loaded up with little or no supervision and gobs of cash?

I think this is like the Preachers daughter syndrome, and Tim is headed for a major fall. Then we'd be stuck with a guy who HAD a squeaky clean image, went bad, and still really can't play QB in the NFL.

Just, you know, sayin......

we could trade him to eagles next year for a 2..they need another QB prob :) but i like him as # 3 for us when batch hangs it up.if hes still around in 4th

Not sure if anyone saw the Gruden with Tebow segment on ESPN this morning but listening to Tebow talk sparks a new found interest in him being on the Steelers. While we still have Ben and I'm not looking to supplant him anytime soon, Tebow brings to the table a certain work ethic, determination, and drive that you don't see in a lot of athletes today. It's not something that can be taught, it's not something that can be learned, it's something you've got or don't (and I will say now that it probably comes in varying levels but I would say Tebow's is at the top of the list).

What I saw and heard from Tebow wasn't about money, wasn't about being better than any one of the othe 52 men on the roster. It was about TEAM, it was about WINNING, and tell me - who wouldn't want more of that?

[revefsreleets]

So...um...we should reach for a FB/Hback in probably the second round on a team that doesn't really utilize a FB just because he's a really super swell guy?

I think we'd be better off finding a FA and paying him league minimum if we seek these kind of intangibles rather than vastly overpaying for a QB who can't really pay QB and wasting a top draft choice in the process.

First of all I never said take him in the first round, I never said reach for him to be a FB/H-Back. But you keep reaching for those made up comments.

I believe he has what it takes to be an NFL QB, and one that can LEAD a team, any team. And not because he's a 'Super Swell Guy' as you put it.

I believe Tim Tebow has the athleticism and ability to play QB in the NFL and I wouldn't mind seeing him as a Steeler QB down the road, but that's just my feelings on the kid.

I'm not sorry that you don't like my opinions or Tim Tebow.

Or, better yet, we can hire Rudy Rudiger to come in as an inspirational speaker. He'll be cheaper, won't cost a draft pick, and harbors no illusions about his own (in)ability to play NFL QB.

Yeah because the Steelers have never had a draft pick not work out for them have they? Maybe the Steelers should only select a player in the first 4 rounds because no one ever makes the team past that. And last time I checked, Tebow wasn't all high and mighty about his abilities.

The kid is athletic, has a great work ethic, and is coachable. You think he won't do good, and I think he'll be better than what a lot of people think. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

[revefsreleets]

Or, we could hire cheerleaders. They are athletic and coachable as well. Some of them are pretty good character kids, I would imagine. Once again, they aren't really going to see the field either, but we save the cash and the 2nd round draft pick.

None of this has anything to do with the fact that you both share the same religion, does it?

[RushHard34]

I dont understand your argument that he is a winner.

That was playing QB in college. He wont be a QB in the pros making him WAY less of a factor to win a game.
