Tomlin was enamored by MT’s original draft position. Since he has no real skill in identifying talent, he was blinded by draft position. If he knew anything, he would have seen what amateur fans all saw. Rudy was a 3rd round pick, so his extremely high intellect knew 1st rounders are always better, and the higher pick even more so.
Maybe in his prior games, yet two years later, it seems you are being proven wrong.
In all seriousness, that is such a reach.
Rudolph has re-signed with the Steelers twice since that incident - do you think if Tomlin really believed Garrett, Rudolph would have been re-signed even once?
I still love how when Mike Tomlin is absolutely pissed off, his eyes blink at a million miles an hour
True, he was touted as pro ready and is older and my person opinion is Pickett will not be a guy capable of leading us to a Super Bowl or a franchise caliber QB. He’s not that accurate and doesn’t read the field that well-I’d argue his ability to read the field was stunted by the conservative approach of Tomlin and Canada
OK lets go on record here.
there is more to it than just playcalling but that is a major difference
You claiming there is a big difference is a huge reach. Its the same scheme, called by two guys that won't be calling plays in the NFL after these last few games. Thats a fact
Never said that it invalidates Mason's performance over the past two games. But acknowledging it provides some perspective.
No, I said that Kenny had the Steelers on the Cardinals' one-yard line in a 3-3 game. If he hadn't gotten hurt, I'd assume that he very well may have QB sneaked it in for a touchdown, which would have meant 10 points on the board with 5+ minutes left in the 2nd quarter. Instead, with Mitch in the game, they go shotgun formation, hand it to Najee, and he gets swarmed.
I agree and disagree with you. Tomlin, I agree, seems to think he is the smartest in the room. I just happen to disagree that he is dumb. Just because you are intelligent, doesn’t mean you are capable of everything. Where he is deficient is in X & O area, and the seemingly unwillingness to hire competent people and then let them do their jobs. He appears , from the outside, to be a heavy handed micro-manager who can not properly evaluate the talent he has at his disposal. He prioritizes draft prognosticators reports, since he lacks that ability. All while allowing the inmates to run the asylu, because he seems to want to be their friend instead of their Boss. Earning the label of “a players coach”, confirms this.
