Well, that seems to be our MO now... grab guys on the cheap who haven't been good for the past 2+ years and HOPE they'll shine on the Steelers.

Ouch. That hurt to read.
I sure hope that's as close a comparison to the clowns and Redskins er. WFT er. Commanders, we ever get.
I don't think anyone is saying that Kenny is/was "all that". Just that he was completely mismanaged and given a crap coordinator and a bit of a weak supporting cast until just recently when the OL...
Except, we don't REALLY know that for sure. Maybe. Probably. But Kenny had ONE full game, post-Canada. We wasted nearly 2 seasons under an awful coordinator.
Mason deserves a lot of credit for...
Exactly. Using that clip as evidence of superior talent didn't work.
EVERYONE said that Mason should have been the one starting at the end of last year. Kenny was coming off injury and Mason had the "hot hand", heading towards a playoff birth. No coach on earth...
I just watched that entire clip of Fields' play and thought the same. I don't know how to get all excited about the plays he made in that game.
He had some missed throws. Some sacks. Some odd...
So, Truth is in the eye of the beholder? LOL. Probably true!
It also didn't look that bad under Kenny when Canada was gone. Or in the 4th quarters of games that we had to come from behind and the "Play it safe" strategy was out the window.
Just sayin'
...
We gave Buffalo a reasonable fight with Mason Rudolph at the helm, who came in for an abysmal Mitch, who came in for an injured Kenny. Our THIRD string QB who got no reps with the 1's in camp. Plus...
Yeah. Everyone who ever comes to Pittsburgh talks about walking past all the Trophies. It sets an expectation. It's a team with a championship history, tied for the highest number of rings in the...
I don't discount your point. Yet Kenny was in a lousy system (likely the worst in the NFL) with a mostly lousy supporting cast and he won more games with fewer turnovers and fewer sacks than Fields....
If Cousins takes the Falcons to the Super Bowl and Wilson doesn't win a playoff game, then clearly Cousins is the better value. But obviously, Cousins is the bigger risk. High risks can have high...
Yeah, any coach can become stale. 17 years is a ridiculously long time to be with the same team. There's urgency all over. From Rooney to Kahn to the players. If any coach can absorb all that...
Yes, I left out lots of sentences. But my point is that Kenny got a huge amount of blame after being thrust into an offense with Matt Canada as the coordinator, a shaky-at-best O-Line, a receiver...
Weird comment.
You're not tired of hearing about the non-losing seasons? A person can't be a fan and simultaneously be tired of something? Because Art Rooney is tired of it.
No QB is going to throw his coordinator under the bus. That makes no sense to say he endorsed keeping him. We don't know his thoughts.
MC failed KP. MC failed the Steelers. The number of...
I think the bar is to improve year-over-year, with a plan to reach the super bowl. Maybe they believe that Fields is the longer-term plan to reach the super bowl. I don't see it but hopefully there...
I'm just not sure what "doesn't work" means exactly. Let's say we win our first playoff game in eons this season. Does that mean it worked? And then we extend him at $30M a year and we never get...
Mason seems to be a really great guy and a class act. BUT... I think a guy who really believes in himself and is confident in his abilities and worth, is not going to always act with such class. A...
Completely agree.
Also completely agree.
The whole organizations seems to be in a bit of a panic mode right now to do something, ANYTHING to win a playoff game. The drought is just...
Hmmm... where have I heard that before?...
Ben acted and said far worse things than Kenny ever has. But Ben had the luxury of being on a great veteran team, playing with a good offensive coordinator and being very talented himself, very...
How epically dumb and/or mismanaged does a team have to be to pay $38M for a baller to go away? Or to trade away a former first round draft pick (that they traded up to get) with baller potential,...
Fair enough. But the one difference is time. With Fields entering his 5 season after this one, will he still be as cheap as a guy like Penix in 2025, 2026? Everyone seems to feel that you need to...
