Unless this can be addressed in FA. We need reasonably priced vet help at C/OT/WR/DL/CB/S. Not all gets fixed ahead of the draft, but the desire to reach for need in the draft can go way down with a few more additions around the edges of the starting roster.
Definitely NOT what I am used to.
I always wanted them to be an active players on day 1 of FA. I have no problem with them going after a key player to upgrade the team. This is not what they did this year. I can't say with all of our moves and signings that we are a better team. I guess it will all shake out during the regular season.
Don't get me wrong. If they put on the B&G. I'll be there. I just prefer not having a rented team.
What they have done this year is embarrassing. Our QB situation will be in the same exact spot next year most likely.
Embarrassing? Are you really embarrassed? I'm questioning some, but not embarrassed. Continuing to do the same thing year after year was kind of embarrassing. We'll see how it works out. Maybe it blows up...but they tried.
We gutted our entire QB room and bring in two guys on one year contracts......just so we will possibly be in the same position again next off season. We won't get rid of a HC who hasn't done jack **** for 10 plus years in the name of franchise stability but we gut our entire qb room from last year ....because our 2nd year 1st round draft pick got upset from the Wilson signing.
When sports becomes your identity, you have deeper issues.
Have you taken that vow, because you have been awarded the stupid prize already.
Well said. But still, I'm not sold on Fields.
The same could’ve been true if they kept Pickett and Rudolph. What did you want the Steelers to do differently?
You had Pickett for 2 more years. Truly try to develop him. Canada offense was horrible. Maybe/possibly/probably Pickett wasn't the answer but you would havr had 2 years to find out. Now you have a 35 yo that won't be here after this season most likely and a younger guy in his fourth year ruding the bench who will be do a 5th option that we won't be picking up. Hopefully it all works out as Tomlin and Omar plan. At this poi t I wouldn't mind moving up round 1 and grabbing a qb in the draft. If they do hopefully they treat him differently than they did Pickett.
NFL teams rarely develop anymore.. college doesnt either... its all systems.. the NFL needed a minor league system 20 years ago...
Possibly. They had 2 more years in a new system to find out. And word is....they didn't get rid of him because they didn't think he wasn't the guy or lack of talent....they moved him because he refused to dress as the 3rd qb and getting upset about the Wilson signing. As far as we know they believed in his talent and still do. Unless they are lying about everything they have been saying and letting slip out to the media of late. Either way......the FO/organization and HC most likely has lied to Pickett and the media...and throw in us fand also.
So we stuck with Canada and his system for to long. Ben looked like **** in every game for 3 quarters and then did his own thing in the 4th his last season. Pickett most likely was told to play conservative because he had a great defense backing him. So he play conservative. It showed. Now he is lamb blasted by everyone. I simply would have liked to seen what he could have done if given the opportunity is all. We would have had 2 years to find out. You invested a #1 in him. So why not? Wilson doesn't make us any better. Fields won't see the field. Both won't be here next year. Go figure.
It's your fault for thinking they tell the truth. I take everything they say with a grain of salt. It's what they do...in fact all organizations do. The draft is coming up. Do you want them to be honest and declare emphatically for the world who they are taking?
So me saying that they have been lying to us is me believing in what they are saying?
Seems like the Steelers came to the conclusion that KFP was not the guy to build around, or even to hold the fort until that franchise QB shows up.
