Colin Cowherd: “The standard in Pittsburgh used to be winning Super Bowls. Now [under Mike], it's, uh, they had never had a losing season".

Uh? The season going into a player's contract is typically pretty vital, Gomer. Minkah looked pretty lackluster last year. We let offensive weapons like Leveon and Schuster walk, but make a guy the highest paid player for his defensive position, and for what? Looking pretty average last season and now being a year older?

But yeah. Let's pay him for what he was in the past. There's a good business practice.

Just for the sake of posting factual information: Fitzpatrick was neither pretty lackluster nor average in 2021 -- he registered 40+ more tackles than in any other of his previous three seasons, along with his lowest missed-tackle percentage to date. He also averaged a career-low 11.5 yards per completion in pass coverage.

And being a year older at 25 is not a bad thing, since most guys enter their prime around that age. Minkah's not like Ben Roethlisberger at 39; he's a great young player with his best years most likely still ahead of him.

They could have taken Kyle Hamilton, Daxton Hill, or Lewis Cine just to name a few. There's a reason a team has never paid that high of a contract to a safety and it isn't because the Steelers have some special insight.

how do you know that?

Ravens went pretty damn far w/ Bert the Pert at quarterback BUT Ed Reed at safety.

Thing lost on Bob (probably most things) is that 2 on his list aren't locked into being a FS. And the third isn't locked into being able to tackle on Minkah's level. Plus Mink is just a complete FS with solid instincts and solid understanding of multiple positions on the D. Sure 2 of them has FS potential but to what level is a wait and see. You don't replace all pro players with wait and sees. That is how you screw up the talent on your roster quickly.

None of those guys are near Minkah's level, all of them have flags and that's why they weren't early 1st rounders.
- Hamilton lacks athleticism and is more of a SS, so he can't replace #39
- Hill is a CB/S hybrid but master of neither, the kid isn't a force at tackling and lacks strength.
- Cine looks to be a very good SS, but not an elite one or he would have been taken way earlier , he lacks deep safety coverage. He does tackle like the best of them.

Minkah can do it all, none of these guys are near his level. If you can't see it then I respectfully can't take any of your posts seriously, you either said names without research or you just can't recognize talent.

Leveon? He was offered the highest RB contract in history and yet he sat out the season. **** him, time showed what his worth was and thankfully he didn't sign that contract

Uh, but it’s not the ONLY thing to base a contract on, halfwit.
But hey, keep on being unoriginal and parroting “respected” media personalities to keep the intelligent facade intact.

I have to agree with the troll on this.
 
Minkah had to play LB last year because our run defense blows chunks. Can't be off making plays when all of your time is spent in run support.

Which is still a massive concern considering it hasn't been addressed. I hope they haven't put all of their chips on Tyson Alualu. While I think he's a warrior, he's long in the tooth and I don't have a lot of faith in him making it through the season. I hope I'm wrong,and hope even more someone steps up on the depth chart. We need Minkah's talents elsewhere.

This season is a chance for the "never a losing season" Coach who isn't being held back by a HOF QB...... to really show his stuff.

Make or break is what this season is all about but he will get till his contract expires before he has to worry.

Least with the most........................................................................ Motivational as all get out but Coaching needs to be way better.

As Coolie would say, **** Colin Coward.
Seriously though, I want to see how Tomlin handles this current roster with lots of young players and for the first time in a long time, no franchise QB. Can he win with a Trubisky? Can he make sure Kenny develops to his full potential and takes the starting job at least by 2023? We will soon find out just how good a coach Tomlin is since this is a whole new scenario for him.

I'll come in early on this. Shades retires and moves on to TV when his current contract expires and Flores becomes head coach.

I would be OK with this
I believe Flores is infinitely better at coaching than Tomlin.
 
** Hey guys. I posted this earlier today but "Old Power Trip" felt the need to censor it. Oh well. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't get to decide what we'll discuss and what we won't. Some people seriously need to put down the beer can and get a life.


After a Pro Football Focus rankings sparked plenty of reaction across the Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase and media outlet, one of the publication's writers is speaking out.

The controversial list placed Steelers' Mike Tomlin as the 13th-best head coach in the NFL. The rankings came through the Pythagorean wins theorem, which we still don't seem to understand. But, regardless, it instantly caught fire for how low it placed Pittsburgh's leader.

Now, one of PFF's top writers, Steve Palazzolo, says sometimes the publication gets a little too deep into analytics. And, sometimes, you have to place blame on the writer.

"It was a lot easier when PFF was like, six of us," Palazzolo said on 93.7 The Fan. "People go rogue. Do whatever the want. They can interpret the data differently."

"I think it's time to start blaming Connor," he added.

Connor McQuiston is the writer being referred to, who wrote the recent rankings on PFF.

"Tomlin's a good man," Palazzolo said. "Obviously, he's been good and done well in lesser situations. He's done well in every situation. I don't know what the criteria was. I will say, I do think there's something with the, we'll call it the 'nerd factor' on Twitter. Those who are really deep in the analytics, who seem to focus a lot on fourth-down decisions, and maybe only the things you can see."

Tomlin has never been known for his analytic side of football. Where he has shined is pulling teams up from nothing, never having a losing record and bringing teams with players like Devlin Hodges at quarterback to the edge of a playoff run.

"Sometimes, it's as simple as wins and losses, and if you win more games, you're probably a good coach," Palazzolo said. "So, Mike Tomlin lands in the 'good coach' bucket. And Tomlin has certainly won a lot of games over the past 15 years."
