A Niner host who criticizes Shanahan sounding just likeTomlin haters

[Captain Lemming]

Noah Strachbein joined somebody who covers the Niners.

Dude is EXACTLY LIKE A SPOILED STEELER FAN in criticizing HIS coach.

Just like us, he uses a microscope to find flaws that you would not know if you don?t follow the Niners.

He thinks Tomlin is awesome, just like so many of our fans think Shanahan is awesome.

It is really bizarre to see a spoiled Niner fan sound just like our fans.

"La Z Boy geniuses" who know all, see all, do all from their living rooms...criticizing someone who does what they never could.

yup, exactly.

especially those with sigs who take great pride in updating it because being "right" is more important than the Steelers having success.

An occasional visit to other teams' forums pretty much confirms HCs of other teams are great while the HC of their team is an idiot. I think it's some kind of law written into NFL fandom.

The contrast could not be more stark. He's criticizing Shanny after he made the NFC Championship with his 3rd string QB, a rookie late pick, and lost largely because he got hurt.

Tomlin was down to his 2nd string QB in 2019, the guy drafted to take over for Ben, and people here (and around the league) threw him a parade for going 8-8 and hiding the offense.

The 2019 Steelers were nowhere near as talented as last year's 49ers.

No way!!! We had probowlers every where in 2019

[WindyCitySteel]

Defense was loaded with stars, 9th ranked OL according to PFF, Conner, JuJu, DJ, McDonald...you're rewriting history a bit.

The narrative has been for years that Ben going out cost them a shot at a title with that D, now it was a poverty team that Tomlin elevated?

[Chucktownsteeler]

The 2019 Steelers were plucking skill players from other PS rosters, such as the Bears. Their WR was Moncrief. Running back was J. White. This team didn't have 5% of the 49ers talent.

Talent?? What?s that have to do with anything. The same ones complaining about wins/losses are the same one who complain about who we draft every year

They complain we draft all the wrong players but want us in the Super Bowl. Nice to have both ways when you do nothing

The WRs were JuJu, DJ, and Washington ahead of Moncrief. The D was starting 9 or 10 #1 picks, the OL was very good.

Utter nonsense, anything to protect Teflon Tomlin.

[Chucktownsteeler]

The D wasn't the problem, as even stated by yourself. The offense was, with injuries forcing skill players to be plucked from other teams PS.

Shanahan is an offensive guru; I'll give him that. But what haunts him is he was running the Falcons offense when they were up 28-3 over the patriots in the Super Bowl...and didn't score a point in the 4th quarter..and lost.

Then as the 49ers coach, he was up on the Chiefs in the Super Bowl....and didn't score a point in the 4th quarter and lost that Super Bowl as well. So Shananhan has a bit to prove to some 49ers fans. But atleast he built his team that wins playoff games and gets to super bowls. Shanahan didn't need to take the nucleus of a processor's Super bowl team to get there. Shananhan built his own team. From the ground up.

Do you realize how absolutely moronic your reply is? It is OBJECTIVELY ridiculous.

You really gonna compare the likes of McDonald and Conner to their Niners counterparts? DJ is the ONLY 2023 projected STARTER of everyone you named and he was a ROOKIE.

And NOBODY suggested we were better WITHOUT BEN at that time. Bens CAP HIT was the problem. That was still there Windy. We were paying the penalty for a franchise QB with backups on the field. Literally THE WORST QB SITUATION POSSIBLE.

Even most people who are tired of Tomlin are not blind to the FACT that the 2019 team overachieved.

Your reply is literally THE STRONGEST CASE for why I created this thread. Blind negativity of a coach who did an OUTSTANDING JOB considering the hand he had to play that season.

The inability to be reasonable enough to understand that the 2019 Steelers w/o the franchise QB who was among the biggest cap hits in the league was not close to the talent of the Niners of last season is beyond absurd.

It exposes how your mind will create a narrative to confirm your preconceived notions without even bothering to consider how dumb it sounds.

If you're going to accept that PFF ranking, you are just not being realistic. If you do a real football evaluation, you know that players like Pouncey and DeCastro weren't great players anymore. They were not good run blockers, and the OL in general was not playing at a high level. Even Villanueva was regressing as a player. The names look pretty good, but these were guys at the end of their careers. The starting offensive line had 8 fumble recoveries that season. That says a lot right there.

2019 Steelers roster: https://www.pro-football-reference.c...019_roster.htm

The 49ers were #1 in points allowed(277) and #6 in points scored(450).

The Steelers were #5 in points allowed(303) and #27 in points scored(289).

The 49ers were on a different level offensively than the Steelers. It isn't just coaching. The 49ers had more talent offensively and were better at most positions on offense.
