How would you like Darren Sproles to be a Steeler?

The more I think Willie Parker will be staying with us.

Im pretty sure guys like Tomlinson, LJ, Thomas Jones and even Sproles will be more attractive to teams than the likes of Parker.

I think hes going to quickly realise that the market for him isnt big at all, and if he has to take a paycut, I’d think he’d rather it be with us than a foreign team.

Unfortunately, his starting days are over, which is a shame, but with the amount of success rookie running backs have no matter what the draft position, a 30 year old, banged up running back is not a viable starting option.

Give it a year or two and I think Parker will have retired. If he stays, I expect to see much more Mendy/MeMo combos with Parker getting the garbage time

Sproles would be nice, but he’ll get paid too much to go somewhere else.

Some team will try to make him the speed/3rd down back in a two headed scheme. A team like NYJ where he would compliment the power of Shonn Greene (based on my assumption of Thomas Jones leaving in FA).

I could also see teams like Cincy, Cleveland, St Louis, Minnesota (if Taylor leaves) etc showing interest

As for Parker, if he leaves, I see him going to Arizona. Not sure anyone else would have the sand to make a play on him

Sproles is a very attractive thought, no doubt about it. But if we’re not paying FWP then Sproles isn’t going to get the type of coin he wants in Pittsburgh.

There are going to be a lot of disappointed RB’s this coming season, who could help a team if they can get over the pride issue.

Or, there are going to be a ton of college backs getting jobs they other-wise wouldn’t even sniff.

 fast willie parker just shorter cant run up the middle completely dont need or want him, sorry he has better hands, which i know someone would mention but i prefer moore

but I think he wants too much $$$ for the role he would fill, we are better with Parker as our speedy back, and mendenhall as our featured back. Parker can handle the work load if an injury puts Mendenhall on the shelf, or if he is fumbling too much.

but returning kicks, sproyles would be awesome,

but it ain’t happening……

but that brings FWP closer to us, as someone already stated.

His name is Stefan Logan .
Honestly, I’ve always liked Sproles and what excitement he brings everytime he touches the ball. He is a dynamo, but will always be that “change of pace” back. ie…..not a starting back. We have that already in Stefan Logan. Essentially, they are clones of one another, both around 5’6, and both able to carve out an existance with the big boys because of their game-braking quickness and speed.
Sproles, IMO, is better than Logan because : 1)He’s a proven commodity where Logan is still making a name for himself. 2)Sproles can catch punts on a consistent basis. Depending on the field position, Moore fielded punts if a more sure hands were needed. 3)Sproles is a regular in SD’s offensive schemes where Logan was almost 99% special teams.

In a nutshell, I’d love to have Sproles but very unlikely due to the presence of Mr Logan .

I’d like to see more of Stefan this yr on the offensive side of the ball. Flanker screens, end arounds, that type of thing. We didn’t use him enough.

Sign him.

love the idea!
 great second rb and FINALLY a return threat!!!

going to give you any reasons why he may or may not become a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, I’m simply going to answer the subject’s question … I would love Darren Sproles to be on this team. I’ve watched him play in high school, college and the NFL. He has been a consistently excellent player, misused by the Chargers I think, but he has always been there when needed.
