Could Andy Reid win a Super Bowl with this roster?

Until he ran into the 2016/17 Steelers.
The last good playoff win.

Bozwell 6 FGs and immediate as he stepped off the plan in Pittsburgh, NFL drug test.

Moot point
Andy would’ve built a better roster

Or 10004 mock drafts. I feel these are not far away though

We have already seen one or two “is it to early mocks”.

I believe that if the Steelers drafted Mahomes, he wouldn't be the Patrick Mahomes he is today. He's a terrific QB, but his coaching staff also calls plays to his and his teammates strengths and they execute it well and that matters. The Steelers have an outdated, overly simplistic system that multiple opponents have called out as simple and predictable, and there appears to be no effort to change, even as they continue play mediocre football year after year. Even with Patrick Mahomes, I doubt the Steelers are looking at Super Bowl contention much less a 3rd straight Super Bowl.

He most certainly wouldn’t

generally a SB victory requires a solid squad AND complimentary coaching. The players bring 80-90% but a coach that complements and brings the best out of the players (sometimes even coaching them up and making them better) brings that last 10-20% to put the team at 100% of the potential.

Tomlin does not bring that 10-20%. Reid helps elevate Mahomes skills in a way Tomlin is incapable of. We saw how well Mikey coached up Ben. Ben was literally better in 4th quarters when he got away from the Mike schemes/strategies.

Mikey also requires finished products coming out of college as he doesn’t believe it’s a coaches job to coach up professionals.

He more than most coaches requires excellent coordinators and position coaches to fill this void, problem is he doesn’t bring in those capable of that task and when he has one like Flores they quickly depart as they don’t like the hurdle to their success that is the great Mike-Romanager.

Mike Tomlin- a hurdle where a coach should be

I was fine with hiring Tomlin, but even after winning the Superbowl I started to question his coaching. I gave him a pass because he was relatively young and inexperienced, but we are seeing the same issues year after year. Tomlin is good at PR and the players like playing for him, but he is awful strategy wise. Tomlin has 0 coaching tree and we have the same issues no matter who the coordinators are. Obviously if Tomlin was unhappy with the D he would take a more hands on approach since that is his "specialty." Just shows that he thinks things are fine and is blaming the players.
The fact he seems to think players shouldn't have to be coached up is headscratching. Alot of NFL players get to the NFL based on physical talents. Good pros in any sport are always learning / tweaking various things to constantly improve and that comes from coaching. You look at guys like Jones who were dominant in college, but it hasn't translated to the pro level based on poor technique. There is not a single player who can't learn something

Very true on all players can learn something, but are you talking about Broderick here? The knock on him was that he was very raw and was going to need time to develop and probably good coaching. He's getting time right now, not sure about the coaching part.

Can’t say I haven’t done the draft simulator already. Just don’t know the later round prospects well enough yet.

I see DL a big possible in round 1 per value. With CB the dark horse option. Round 2 perhaps WR or RB. I think you will see these positions early..

He is playing where he is less comfy. I think you put him at LT he will flourish.

DL / WR / OL, I know that 3rd rnd might not be popular, but we need it desperately.

A new OL coach as well.

Didn't even blink when I said it. lol

The real question now

Is BB the best college coach in North Carolina?

 

[Ron Burgundy]

It is his roster....he built it.
He hired the OC and DC.
It is his offensive and defensive philosophies we employ.
Am I missing anything?

Besides all that...it isn't his fault.

The Tomlin Fan Club is running out of white people to blame.

I kinda like Neal (RB from Kansas) if he’s there in the 4th, would be a compliment to Warren.

After we knock out DL, WR and CB early of course.

Think Beck will be available late with his injury (grab him in the 5th) and stash him on IR
