    just to name a few, so we can put this to rest about Tomlin taking Cowhers players.
    Old Bill had an allstar squad. And still choked away AFCCG.

    But Cowher yelled and spit on people just like high school coaches do. That alone made him better.

    But Bill was tough and yelled and made grown men scared. That made the difference...in him becoming an attention whore more and more each year.

    I'm waiting for the Tomlin haters to respond.

    Terrific. I think you could argue that Bill left Tomlin better players. It's not like Noll left Bradshaw for example.

    The other thing is Bill eventually got into a groove and started drafting his own great players. Tomlin still needs to work on that.

    Our drafting crew goes from:

    Bill - Dan - Colbert

    to

    Mike - Art - Colbert

    Throw out Colbert who doesn't seem to make a difference and it either comes down to Tomlin or Art need to get better at drafting. Can they do it? Will Dan being back from Ireland help? Or are we still drafting the same, but coaching differently?

    There's a point where this has become Tomlin's team and they are in a current awkward state for the Steelers. I like Tomlin, but sometimes the same things I like about him might be the same things holding him back?

    Either you are too young or was not a Steeler fan until late, but it's clear Bill was left with the better squad by Far. the only thing missing was a QB. but Billy loved Korky so much he kept him way too long.

    Bill never trusted any QB. He just wanted to hand off the football and play defense.

    I don't understand why you have to be a "Tomlin hater" to question the first round picks in his era.

    So Noll left Cowher a bunch of very good players. Cowher then left Tomlin a group that was a year removed from a SB. He also left a franchise QB who was not being paid like a franchise QB at the time.

    The Steelers happened to struggle last year, the same year as Farrior, Smith and Ward left the roster. Tomlin, for the second time in his career, found a team in a downward spiral and responded with empty cliches. Will the Steelers bounce back again next year, or keep unleashing hell?
