    I predict if he's not rushed back, the team ypc # will increase, just saying.

      Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

      Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

      *** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***

Do I believe it's wise to spend a first round pick on a RB? Only on rare occasion. Would I have rather had OL? Of course. RBs have a short shelf life and can be found in later rounds like WRs.
        I think end of the first is OK. Most of the best backs in the league seem to be drafted at the back of rd 1 or somewhere in round 2 (more likely).

        I think where we drafted Najee is OK because he was arguably the BPA at that spot. In a redraft with hindsight, I think we'd draft someone else. But that's not how drafts work.

        I think it was a reasonable gamble.

        But picking at 24 is a lot different than picking in the top 10. Joel was talking about potentially picking that RB in the top 5 I think. That seems like poor asset management to me.

          Hopefully he makes the Wilson deal look good.

            Went to the Browns website and they are talking about running the table from this point on.

              Of course, they are Browns fans - the dumbest, most gullible of ALL fans in the NFL.

                Or fans with a level of impressive loyalty and support that put many Steeler fans to shame.

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

                      That is hilarious.

                      Heck, just sit Najee and make Warren 3.

                      Nevermind football reasons.

                      Platoon those two in this throwaway season JUST FOR THE AWESOME NICKNAME.

                        Just another reason to sit Harris. I think Harris could really benefit from being in a rotation anyway;

                          Would be fun to see Warren/Snell, with a dash of McFarland in Atlanta.

                          I wonder if there's a team out there dumb enough to give us a Jerome Bettis type deal for Najee after the year? Steelers got JB and a 3rd rd pick for a 2nd and a 4th. Do the Rams have any picks left in the 2020's

                              I'm always bad at predicting trades.

                              But it seems like Najee wouldn't have all that high value after this year.

                              Teams love pedigree though.
