oh please, your Tomlin bashing is getting pathetic.Originally Posted by whatever
you know damn well Tomlin has always had Ben as his QB, why in the world would we pick another franchise one?

People talk a lot about picking Tee Martin over Tom Brady but a more logical QB pick for the Steelers in that same round would have been Marc Bulger.
He signed with the highest bidder which is his right. The championship talk was BS in my opinion.
Selecting QBs (and other positions) is not an exact science. NFL teams passed on Brady 6 times. You also have the Tim Coachs and Ryan Leafs to factor in.

Tee martin won a national Championship at Tennessee, Payton Manning didn't. Just saying it's a huge leap and many variables come into play in the draft. Hindsight is always 20/20.
Meh
All were drafted late in the hope they'd be competent back ups. And three of them probably fit that bill to some extent.
And Dobbs we flipped into a pick and then got back anyway.
It's hard to draft QBs.
I'll remind you again that between about 2010 and 2016 the college ranks were hardly cranking out NFL caliber QBs. A 'good' draft might have had maybe one, maybe two QBs as franchise potential. Check 2013 for example...yikes!
And given their draft position during this time, the Steelers had little chance to grab one that could make a difference:

nah, you obviously have me confused with Steel Maniac.
I'm the one who said we should draft Tom Brady because he was going to be the GOAT.
and I'll provide a link to where I said that as soon as you show me where I said that about the great Dean I mean Tee Martin.

Knew he wasn't coming to the Steelers. Glad he didn't end up with the Stains.
Do the Cardinals have any trade prospects that we could offer Derek Watt for?
Lol.... so you are telling me cowhers drafted tee Martin to be a franchise qb?
Update:
In the last decade, 25% of the league has won a super bowl(the Steelers aren't one of them) and now 50% have as many or more playoff wins as the Steelers.
