What if Tom Brady were suspended in 2015?
In the first week of 2015, our beloved Steelers lost to the Patriots led by Tom Brady, because Judge Berman nullified his suspension. In the following months, I had been wondering- what would have happened, if Garoppolo had played against us instead?

Even if we win that game and finish 11-5 last season instead of 10-6, we'd still be a wild card team behind the 12-4 Bengals in our division. Everything else likely plays out the same.
Don't stop there...ever wonder what would have happen in 1976 if both Franco and Rocky didn't get hurt in the playoffs?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. -

I've thought a lot about those scenarios as well. I remember well when the devastating news about Rivera came down. I think he'd have been a major force. Marino, for sure, would have been much better than the QBs the Steelers had during that era. Not sure they would've let Marino be Marino ... in other words, I don't know if he would've been throwing the ball as much as he ended up doing with the 'Fins. But I think he would've had more shots at winning a championship then he got with Miami.
All speculation, but sort of fun to wonder, IMO.Comment
