You are forgetting that opponents adjust to what teams like to do as well. There was a recent writeup about how defenses have changed the way they play KC and it's really wrecked Mahomes game. It boils down to teams have stopped blitzing him (where he elevates his game) and instead sit back in coverage. TB highlighted it last season but it was actually used against him in the last month of the season. They mentioned BAL (a blitz heavy team) blitzed him less than 15% of the time this year. Mahomes has looked very ordinary against this scheme so far.

Who was available that was both good and cost a similar amount to Witherspoon or Schobert?
Pop quiz: How many OL did we sign this offseason? And who were they?
This probably gives some indication to what the Steelers thought the answer to the above question was.
Maybe there is someone else, but OL are hard to come by because everyone needs them.
Answer (Text is black, but you can see it if you highlight): Turner (OG). And Haeg (OR). And Finney (OG/C). And JC Hassenauer (OC).
Just because you don't like the OL we signed this offseason doesn't mean that we didn't sign them. All of these guys above were signed this offseason to cheap contracts as insurance / competition for OL jobs.Comment

But. Hmmm. When did they acquire those players???
It looks wasn’t in the tomlin era.
Thx for proving my pointComment

They did hire fringe guys on D.
Ingram and Schobert are similar to Turner. Good past performance, but big question marks.
I think they would have made more signings like that on the OL if able. My guess is that they weren't available.
The place to get OL help was the draft not UFA IMOComment

To address the offensive line point, I bet they would have re-signed Feiler if they knew DeCastro was on his way out.Comment

I call those guys back ups unlike the fringe guys they chose as starters on the OLComment

In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

Steeelers fans should consider themselves lucky to have 3 quality HC's since the 70's. I am not sure why some members of this fan base attempt to diminish what Tomlin helped this organization accomplish. It's borderline maddness. SMH. Tomlin is still coaching at a very high level.Comment

The NFL was a different league in the Cowher era. Less teams ran the 3-4 defense. As a result, the Steelers were able to pick players in mid and later rounds that were good fits for the 3-4 scheme.

The Rooney rule is ONLY about ensuring coaches of color have an OPPORTUNITY to be interviewed.
Nearly ALL the SB coordinators are black...none were hired. Just interviews.
32 teams, 3 black head coaches and the "Rooney Rule" is some kind of terrible injustice to white coaches?
Mike Tomlin just matched the record of his predecessor who JUST GOT A GOLD JACKET in fewer games.
He is by any OBJECTIVE measure one of the leagues most accomplished coaches.
Do some long for the "good ole days" when black candidates weren't even given a chance to interview?sigpic
