I don't think Najee is bad, TBH. He's just not fast. Warren's faster and quicker, but the big thing really is that Warren runs with more decisiveness on a regular basis.

That said, Najee also indicated that Cleveland basically knew the plays any time he was out there, and I wonder if they are the only defense that had such a read.
Najee is bad

He can‘t stick his foot in the ground and get North and South

He thinks he’s Barry Sanders when he runs more like Barry Horowitz

He’s not special he has no gamebreaking attributes at all he’s pedestrian at best :hhh:

Najee needs to lose 15-25 pounds and work on his agility, i don’t think he is that bad either the line ain’t helping

Pickett doesn't turn the ball over. You put in Trubisky(sorry, Tar Heel breh) or Mason Rudolph :mjlol: and you're gonna have multiple turnovers a game.

Steelers defense leads the league in turnovers I think right? Look at the QB's the play to finish the season.

Jake Browning x2
Kyler Murray
Patriots QB
Minshew
Geno
Lamar

Defense should win them at least 4 of those games.

Right Pickett is ass but there’s no reason he can’t be a great value Goff (in the Lions offense). Pittsburgh needs an effective run heavy offense like Detroit to keep that goofy from ruining the games and utilize their two backs better
It’s not like Najee is any good.

I posted the following in fantasy football thread before the season



The point of sharing this is....even I knew that Jaylen Warren had the ability to outperform Najee Harris this season. And if my goofy self knew this shyt, the Steelers definitely knew it. So it makes you question why they kept insisting on running Harris out there.

I mean even the Rams cut their losses with Cam Akers immediately.

Well, he is a first round pick that conducts himself the right way, stays out of trouble, has the work ethic, etc. He checks all the boxes and while unspectacular statistically, the dude was productive within what many felt was a meh offense, basically averaging around 1400 yards of offense and 10 TD his first two years. But since he got into the league, his touches have gone down and a lot of what he did well -- for example, he was a phenomenal pass-catcher in college and flashed that same ability as a rookie -- is not happening as much now.

He checks all the boxes as far as what you want to represent your team, he's a first round pick and his coach (who is one who values loyalty and so on) all but hand-picked him to be the eventual leader of the Steelers as the current stalwarts get older and eventually fade. He also plays a position where for the most part, you need to have at least two reliable people to work with in today's age.

So I get it.

Warren has been spectacular and deserves more chances, but I really do think Warren might end up like Pollard (who looked great when sharing with Zeke, only to be ho-hum now that it's his show alone) if folks force Najee out the door.
