Tomlin PC

[whisper]

A mobile QB is an asset, ala Mahomes, Rodgers, Wilson, Allen. I just hope that Tomlin & Canada aren't planning an attempt to re-create the Ravens' offense that focuses on running.

A QBs best asset should be his ability to make all the NFL throws consistently.

Interesting that Tomlin is publically saying he wants a mobile QB, while a fairly immobile QB is the next man up on the roster in Rudolph. What does that say to Rudolph? And worse yet, I don't see Rudolph as being able to make all the throws consistently. He's a one trick pony with the deep rainbow.

If the future is left up to Tomlin and Canada, I shudder at the thought of it...shiver and shudder.

It's also interesting that Tomlin publically emphasizes mobility, when the QB he's had for all of his career, and helped get him to 2 super bowls, was not mobile.

Man, quarterback mobility is valued.

Ben had a fair bit of mobility in his prime.

I don't think mobility is just LJ or Mike Vick runs.

Ben's escability while keeping his eyes down field was elite mobility IMO.

I think that reading between the lines, this is what was said:

We brought in Matt Canada to run his offense. We then gave him an Oline and QB who are not capable of running that offense. We still like his concept and want to give him the chance to show what he can do given the right personnel.

I think that was the thought process going into this season and the excuse coming out of it. As much as I would like to see Canada go, I was pretty sure he'd stick around for that reason...and the fact that it is an epic fail when you fire a guy one season after hiring him. That's pretty much admitting you did just as bad of a job as the guy you're letting go. With the Klemm hiring already tarnishing Tomlin's track record, that might be a bit too much for one offseason.

Anyone who doesn't see him running the program unchecked as being an issue, then honestly, maybe you're a fan of the coach more than the franchise as a whole.

His ego needs to be deflated, not inflated even more than it already is.

well put.


this might get ugly very soon.
look for more jarvis jones and artie burns types

[whatever]

Tomlin fans that said Canada sucks and must be fired:
Do I admit I have no clue or do I admit Tomlin has no clue…. ?
Oh the dilemma.

They should let Tomlin be HC, OC, DC, ST, GM, and owner. He's that awesome. He's never had a losing season! I mean, that plus his cool quips should entitle him to own the entire city of Pittsburgh.

There are absolutely posters on this forum (likely relatives of Tomlin, or Tomlin himself) that care more about him than the team

Yep. People interpreting the extremes once again. 'Mobile' can mean a lot of different things, including Joe Burrow mobile or Justin Herbert mobile. Not designed for runs but can if needed. I'd take those in a heartbeat. In the old days we'd call them scrambling QBs.

It could also mean a qb that is capable of moving. Like walking or rolling from place to place.

Am I allowed to express my long standing desire to see him fired, or is that still uncool?

Finally someone who gets it. You're either all in or all out with the HC.

No .
It’s super uncool.
You obviously aren’t a steeler fan. You need to root for another team.

I think many of the poster that care more about Tomlin than the team are ones that don't like him.

Nah, we care about winning playoff games and super bowls. Something Tomlin hasn't done in a decade.
