Pouncey will eb a 1st round pick and go to Bears or Giants.
Also I hope they get rid of draft, that would be great to see where players would actually go! Teams could take 1 player or they could take 20!

@Deb -

Sounds like pervy and jimmysmith. I’ve found it’s more fun to be hated than loved.

“I love how Maurkice Pouncey is now one of the best known offensive linemen in the entire NFL, all because he got injured and made a failed attempt at returning for the Super Bowl.

Never before has a Center that had a pretty good year ever received so much attention.”

Oh I don’t know.
There was some fella named “Raji” that played for Green Bay and he made a pretty big splash in the press before the Super Bowl.

Now as for the game itself, did this guy even play??

@tuckercarlsonisthevoiceofreason …

I’ve often wondered about that. Mike is such a simple name compared to Maurkice LOL

Have a pal on the college side who gets thumbs down no matter what he posts just because it’s him. Think I’m approaching that status here. Would love to get a bracelet made from those little downward thumbs

Someone needs to drug test the “not as good as his brother” Pouncey…#9 is way to high for a Guard, especially a guy who isnt even a spectacular player…he’s good, but not #9 overall good…In a perfect world, Jerry trades down…twice…first with St.Louis for Julio Jones and next with San Diego or New England for Cameron Jordan or JJ Watt…

How is someone being TOLD that they were going to be selected by a certain team (Moss), the same as someone coming away from a visit THINKING that that team will select him (Pouncey)?

Attention all NFL draft prospects!!!! The teams pick you,You do not pick what team that you want to play for.This goes out to Mr.Pouncey and Vaughn Miller who was quoted as saying “I wanna play for Dallas”….If you are as good as you say you are the you can go to any team and make a monumental impact….And please please dont do what John Elway did back in 83 or that Manning kid that plays for the Giants,I still hate both of their asses for what they did to this day!!!

What an idiot. It’s always a smart move to tell the team about to draft you that you’d rather play elsewhere!

And twin brothers in the locker room might not be a good idea.

I think you’re right. I have twin sons and they’re a lot more trouble together than they are apart. Maurkice would probably always be ragging on Mike because he got stuck with the weird name.

packerfan12 — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 17:15:46 +0000

Maybe he won’t be surprised if he plays for the Cowboys…in the second or third round….Mike Pouncey to me isn’t a first round commodity, I just hope he’s not there when the Packers pick so TT isn’t tempted to take him (even though they could use a guard).

I am sorry to say this but even though he probably isn’t a first round talent, he’s probably going first round anyways….I have heard that the Bears love him, and that he wouldn’t make it past 29. (Just rumors, but they could use OL.)

This kid is not a Top Ten draftee. Maybe he can go to the Steelers as a 2nd or 3rd rounder. I wish him well. If his main goal in life is to play fb with his brother, who can find fault?

By: Deb

Deb — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 16:52:21 +0000

Well, that’s one way to get Jerry Jones to pass on you. Tell him you’d rather be a Steeler

If the Steelers took him, it would be as a guard, not a center. My biggest concern is that Maurkice is a good guy who doesn’t cause problems. From some of the comments he’s made, I’m not so sure about Mike. And twin brothers in the locker room might not be a good idea.

bhindenemylines — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 16:39:21 +0000

Why would the Steelers sign him when they have his older, better brother at the same position?

That would be like the Bengals signing Jordan Palmer…

Hold on…my bad.

By: jeffsmoker

jeffsmoker — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 16:35:42 +0000

Why is everyone being a hater on this kid. Cause he said he would be shocked if he didnt go to the Cowboys but would like to be a steeler. He has as twin brother that he has played with his whole life, and who wouldn’t want to be a Steeler its a first class organization. Plus he will play guard in the NFl if your drafting him as a center then he is not a first rounder. But he is the best guard in the draft! Id love for him to fall to 31!

“Under that theory, Mike Pouncey and every other rookie should enter the league as free agents, able to sign with any team they choose. As soon as next year, that could indeed be the case.”

So, can you please explain why everyone wants the players to win this court case? Sure we would get an off season of football in the short term but it could screw the game up forever. If the owners win the players will cave and we will have a CBA that keeps NFL football on top of the sports world for the forseeable future.

Being a cowboy fan for a long time and crying after every draft since Jimmy Johnson left watching guys like Bobby carpenter being drafted or passing up Stephen Jackson to draft the awesome julious jones ebeneezer ekuban lol wasting four first round picks on Galloway and Williams nothing this clown can do would surprise me except doing the right thing like trade down collect more picks and taking a need position like offensive tackle and a saftey in the first and second rounds but with that being said Dallas will go against the grain and take an o lineman in round one and it’ll be pouncey

What pisses me off is that these players only care about themselves and their payday, not the integrity of the game. The NFL without a draft is just stupid. I hope the players lose bigtime in court!!!

1st, that pick isn’t current. 2nd, I hope all the teams before #31 think the way you all do!! 3rd, the Steelers should trade up to get him!!!

Only way Pouncey becomes a Cowboy is if he falls to #40 I. The second round.

Scouts all say Pouncey Jr. should play guard in the pros, because he can’t hit the broad side of a barn with his snaps…
