AB needs to be higher. I know we never won a SB with him but that dude was nuts at the height of his career with us. Just insane chemistry and production.

I'd also put Ben in Tier 1 and move Woodson down.

But these exercises aren't really possible to get "right" IMO.

OMG, that reminds me about a post I saw on Twitter this morning -- which i can't find again, but i did screen shot so i will just type. It sort of built this Pyramid with Steelers greats

This is almost worth a thread of it's own just to see how people place them (or who they move/add/remove)


Tier1 (4 players, like a Rushmore) - Lambert, Mean Joe, Troy, Rod Woodson
Tier 2 (5 players) - Ham, Ben, Webster,Blount, Bradshaw
Tier 3 (6 players) - TJ, Franco, LC, Hines, Deebo, Shell
Tier4 (8 players) - Stallworth, Bettis, Cam, Swann, Stauntner, AB, Faneca, Dirt Dawson;
Tier5 (8 players) - Decastro, Heath, Lloyd, Kevin Greene, Casey, Pouncey, Carnell, Jack Butler;
Tier6 (10 players) - Peezy, DaBeard, DwightWhite, Kirkland, LevBell, Andy Russell, Rocky, Mike Wagner, Aaron Smith, David Little

Got to put Farrior on before Little and maybe Kirkland

Whoa.. slow down playa.

I like Tomlin but unless this D gets figured out in the playoffs all this is for naught.

The reason all this is happening is
because Tomlin failed with Kenny and a large part of it is keeping Canada another year to run a crappy offense.

I?ll give Khan the credit for making moves but I?m holding off on giving Tomlin credit because regardless of how bad the O was.. that D was stanking during that 3 game losing streak.

Play better is the answer for the post season.

KP was on board with keeping Canada. KP requested to be traded. KP failed the organization. The Steelers are on the hook for millions. It's as simple as that.

The Steelers finished 10-7 with the 3 different QB's that played last season. 2 of the 3 highest paid Steelers defensive players missed several games.

You think a second year QB can demand a new OC in Pittsburgh?

Yes, every team is virtually identical in talent and coaching and scheming, it's just a matter of who plays better on a given Sunday.

Not only can he NOT demand it, he would be a fool - and slammed everywhere - if he threw his OC under the bus. You just don't do that. Even a 10 year vet is unlikely to trash his own OC in public. NO one here knows what Kenny truly thought of Canada. Any public support for Canada was just a rookie QB taking the high road in public for a man he probably has respect for as a person. To say that "Kenny was on board with keeping Canada" as evidence of him being a failure is just weak.

The Steelers failed Kenny a LOT more than he failed them. He may never be more than a career backup. But to put him out there with a trash coordinator, a trash o-line and 1 wr who could catch consistently and run the right direction, was an epic failing. Though, I'm sure Tomlin's original plan was to play Mitch for 2 seasons before Kenny got his shot. But Mitch couldn't hold up his end of the deal.

It's no shocker now that the Steelers have addressed ALL of those issues. But if you're Kenny, you've got to be thinking, "It sure would have been nice to have THAT supporting cast when I was there.".

To both your points.

Heck Ben hated Haley but we mostly found out second hand.

BEN had little negative to actually SAY about Haley and Ben was a VET who had CHAMPIONSHIPS.

I tease about Kenny but to blame him for Canada is ridiculous.

And we have no idea what was happening behind closed doors.

Maybe Kenny was calling for him to be gone when the cameras weren't rolling, but wanted to keep dirty laundry away from the public eye.
