    Steeler players love Tomlin, hate Rooney

    This NFLPA poll is making a lot of waves. Chiefs had a similar result, love Reid, hate owner. Obviously, doesn't translate to wins and losses.

    The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t fare well in the second annual NFLPA player survey, a report card ranking the best and worst teams in a wide-ranging number of categories. Per CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, the Steelers ranked near the bottom at 28th place out of the 32 NFL organizations. The second annual NFLPA Team Report Card […]

    How could the player like Tomlin when "experts" believe him to be a terrible coach?
    "My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"

      Just because people like playing in a frat house/make your own rules environment doesn't translate to wins.

      Obviously.

        Remember when Mark Madden lied and said Watt skipped his exit interview because he hated Tomlin

            This is a direct reflection on ownership and Rooney. These scores are shameful and could all be corrected if anyone gave a damn.

              Think Art didn't care before, wait until his ownership shares increase.

              A story we’ve been following the past few months might finally be reaching a conclusion. According to Bloomberg.com’s Gillian Tan, Pittsburgh Steelers minority owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer are finalizing a deal that would sell their stake in the team to an investor group led by Art Rooney II and Thomas Tull. Per Bloomberg: […]

                A lot of this is first world millionaire problems, I'm guessing their diamond shoes are hard to clean, too. These guys aren't exactly working in sweatshops making cell phones where they have to put nets around the roof to catch the jumpers.

                  I'm a little surprised NFL allows this because it's not a good look for the league, lot of poor grades for facilities, training and owners. Players love Tomlin too bad he can't win a playoff game. A little surprised Rooney got an F, ouch!

                      The NFL cannot compete with the college facilities across the U.S. unless you are Jerrah Jones. Come to think of it, how many championships has Jones' modern facilities brought him?

                          Hmm.. I think the grades would be similar if we are talking about field conditions, facilities, etc.

                          Franco left, Bradshaw avoided the city for 25 years.

                          I still think most players love the franchise but in modern times these players are going to stadiums that ate brand new and decked out.

                          How does a modern NFL team with Billions not have daycare on site? That is a freaking easy fix.

                              Don't the Steelers use Pitt's facilities though?...
