    He also never had to deal with a salary cap and free agency. He coached in a much less complex NFL. That is why it is dumb to try to compare between eras. Need to compare players and coaches to contemporaries.

        Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

        Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

        We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

        We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

Noll "put up with" Fats Holmes shooting at a police helicopter on the Ohio Turnpike; he put up with Joe Gilliam's drug habit until it could no longer be ignored; Joe Green kicking and punching guys during games, etc. Several guys who played under Cowher have debunked the notion that he was a strong disciplinarian (Burress, for example, got away with being late to meetings and various other infractions), etc. You're looking at the good old days through rose-colored glasses.
                Exactly what I was going to say.

                Besides, if Mr. Noll is living in the everworld, I doubt he's going to waste his time on Steelers Planet.com

                    Ehh... you sure? I know we had a ton of penalties last week but every game is a flag fest these days.

                    I think the NFL has rigged the game with these latest rule changes. Its hard to watch any game because its yellow on the field every other down.
