Re: It all starts with head coach quit kissing his bad word

would the steelers have half of those wins with a sub par qb? that was my point. how many wins would they have with korkie, or turnover tommy or any other of the sub par qb's we had to watch? sub par qb's dont win!!!

Uuuuuh,...if memory serves me correctly, teams constructed by Coach Cowher and his philosophy had quite a bit of success in terms of wins with bums like Neil and Tinkerbell (kordell) playing the position. Often nearly reaching the pinnacle only to have them clusterf#ck everything. As Ben also did his rookie season in the title game and nearly did in 2005's Superbowl.

I'm not saying that he's bad as the aforementioned,...he's slightly better than say Neil currently. But he's not the second coming of Marino, Elway or even Bradshaw for that matter as many of his loyal fans would like to make the rest of us believe.

man your delusional if you think he is slightly better than neil. every playoff loss under cowher was because of poor qb play from neil, korkie and maddox. i never put him in the same category as elway or marino. i never saw TB play but ben is better than TB. TB had 4 more td's than he did int's. thats not impressive. the only reason TB is a hof'er is because he was clutch in the postseason and a clutch qb right? well ben and TB are very similar in that aspect. ben is a top ten qb right now. just look at the rest of the starting qb's

ben is a great QB and the main reason we've won 2 sb's. i do think he needs to evolve his game style from the street game to something a little more polished. not to suggest there isn't a time for that but clearly there are some situations where you must be a sharp pocket passer with quick hits and a quick release. you want to stop a blitz? demonstrate you can successfully get the ball out in 2 seconds for 6-8 yards a pop. peyton manning can't run 4 steps yet teams rarely blitz him? why?

i just hope ben puts more time time into developing a game plan than he does when he goes to the barbar. his hair sucks..

When 10,000 soliders die in battle
who do you blame the soldiers?

when a ship get sunk who's responsible the Capt.

Dude, I'll just move this here since you ignored it in the other thread:

So then coaches don't really do anything then? Since the "good team" won the SB and he must not have had anything to do with it, right? By that logic, he also has nothing to do with the implosion this year?

Is that the case? Or are you really trying to throw out this "He had nothing to do with the team last year and deserves no credit but has everything to do with the team this year and deserves all the blame" line of thinking? I'm assuming you know the old saying about having cake and eating it.

So you are honestly trying to say that even though the Steelers FO has one of the best track records in the entire league with coaches that they hired this coach because of his race...and he just happened to take the Steelers to the SB and win it in his second year because of...everyone else but him... You realizing the entire time that this is the same basic team as last year, right?

You really don't see anything wrong with this?

I'm just going to assume you're completely incapable of addressing my points.

If you're just here to vent without throwing out any type of actual reasoning behind it then I wish you would've just said so. I would have known to just bypass your threads, as they are not meant for actual discussion.

Re: It all starts with head coach quit kissing his bad word

ok we get it you hate tomlin. would you perfer him to say he was satisfied with last years sb win? its an awful year, no one is happy with the teams performance. the holes are obvious. give the 30 something coach in his 3rd season time to correct those holes. if he doesnt everyone will agree with you

Re: It all starts with head coach quit kissing his bad word

Noone will ever hold him accountable for anything.
For whatever reason.
When have the Steelers looked this terrible.
Lose to such butthole teams. its pathetic.

Re: It all starts with head coach quit kissing his bad word

Why would anyone respond to anything you say anymore? You've proven that you have no interest in discussion if anything comes up that might run contrary to your view. You're only here throwing around baseless accusations and avoiding contrary opinions.

You might as well be writing this crap on an etch-n-sketch.

"Case closed", whatever the hell that means.

oh i guess your the voice here. ok i got it.

And another dodge! You're good at this!

I will explain it to you as clearly as I can at this point:

YOU made the claim "THEY ONLY HIRED TOMLIN BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK".

You made the claim that we should put all (or most) of the blame on Tomlin for this year's performance but not give him all (or most) of the praise for last year.

I then responded not once, but twice, to your statements. I have also shown the specific logical fallacy (read as: contradiction) in your view.

You have chosen to ignore it all.

So, what's your point in posting if it's not for discussion? How solid is your view if it can't defend it? Why are you on a discussion board if not to discuss things? Because all I see you doing is taking shots and never actually defending your view.

Re: It all starts with head coach quit kissing his bad word

Ben was awful the second half of the season. He frustrates me to no end but I'm no fool. Without Ben we have 2 more AFC title heartbreaker losses at the most.

I want him to stop trying to force routine plays into backyard plays. I want less WWE and more fire under the OL.

The haters or critical fans of Ben who want him gone are idiots. I'm not a fan of QB stats that say you are elite while your team is one and done in the playoffs year after year. I'm not a fan of routine 12 win seasons that end with my elite QB asking me to pass the nachos on the couch in late January. I'm not a fan of elite QB's(manning and brees) who have one less ring then Ben btween the 2 of them.

Seems like some fans would rather have a stat heavy QB with no SB's then a QB who takes a year off between SB's...

I agree. IMO the measure of a player or coach is winning as opposed to any particular style points or statistics. Ben wins, period.

As I said in the other thread, I'm starting to think you're a troll.

But just in case, I'll let you know: It's generally considered bad form to answer a question with a question. Why would I respond to your post when you're repeatedly ignored mine?

Makes no sense man.
