AB's reason for leaving: This team wasn't going anywhere

[Gildong Sack]

I get Tomlin. But Ben? I don't get that at all

Too many flaws in his game, too much leash....3rd and 1 or 2= bombs away for 50+ then punt. We all saw that over and over.

 

[Gildong Sack]

Had Coach Cowher remained coaching these 17 years of the Tomlin, exactly the same players etc………..

More likely than not, he would have won between 3 & 5 super bowls with the BEN.


Salute the nation

This^ exactly. Cowher would not have allowed what Arians/Tomlin did. This goes to my earlier post: Ben needed reigning in. When it's appropriate let him air it out, when it's not make him game manage, which Cowher would have ordered. The flaws in his game should have dictated when to pull on the leash, Tomlin let him have free reign as keeping Ben happy kept him employed. Tomlin knew playing that game would assure the occasional playoff appearance and plenty of winning seasons with Ben beating up on the weaker AFCN teams. All that is history now and Tomlin better produce without his security blanket.

 

[Gildong Sack]

AB just filed for bankruptcy claiming he owes 8 creditors nearly 3M and has about 50K in assets.

Now the POS will stiff all his baby mamas.....and not the type of stiff he'd like to.

Child support is not a debt forgiven with bankruptcy.

Failure to pay, eventually results in jail time.

And in mine, and most knowledgeable fans' minds, Tomlin isn't capable of coaching, nurturing and disciplining a team to a championship on his own. He just isn't, doesn't have what it takes. He's all flash, no substance. He has his fancy quips but little behind them. And players have learned you can't trust what he says; he's been exposed several times as a liar.

Of course, so where are my wrong assertions? Please compare and contrast how they are so "stupidly wrong."

You are repetitiously captain obvious with a maximum overdrive in flaming players and coaches.

You do exactly the same things cooch did.

Funny how coincidental that is huh?

And everytime one of you throws up the Coach accusation, you look so foolish. And you don't have a clue.

its really easy to figure out.. Justin just isnt throwing you under the bus. He's enjoying his clicks.

You said half the board liked Canada after last preseason... I call BS. Stupidly wrong

 

[Badcat]

That one bothered me for a long time.

I've said it before on this forum, If I ever see Neil in person, I'm knocking him out. He took a pay day, you or no-one else will convince me otherwise. He tore my heart out that evening.

 

[Badcat]

Just for the record, Kordell Stewart was the first ever STEELERS QB to finish a season above 60% completion percentage.


SALUTE THE NATION

You are just full of nuggets in this thread! Well Done Sir.

Oh no one was talking about how great the O and Kenny looked? OK, there hot shot. Whatever you say.

I think it was the promise of Kenny more than the promise of Canada hotshit.

Generally speaking, a load of Steeler fans thought the offense and Kenny had arrived. And then reality set in week 1 when it mattered.

I would say instead of using the word “thought “……..the word hoped would be more appropriate.

..not the first or will it be the last time someone with promise didn't deliver.

The amount of people who believed in him is really of no importance.

My point is that a lot of people in here believed that the offense, Canada and Kenny had arrived at that point. That is all.
