    From the department of so desperate to be right he doesn’t realize he shot his whole argument to hell.

    How many playoff games have the raiders won since that trade? How many super bowls? Hell how many winning seasons have they had in that span? What about the bears? How did that work out for them?

    You said I was delusional and stupid to think we could have 2 first round picks for Watt, just look at below

    I could add Jamal Adams and Jalen Ramsey, who were traded for two first-round picks... But I'm the one who's wrong,stupid and desperate to be right when I only show the fact :rolleyes:.

    Sure, the Raiders have had a terrible front office for so long. Maybe that will change this year, but it's been bad for so long. But if you draft well with the extra draft capital you have, you have a good chance of becoming a Super Bowl contender fairly quickly, faster than if you're always stuck in the middle,this is my point

    A win is a win, and a loss is a loss. Nobody, and their grandma's are saying 20 Years from now, oh they only lost by 3 points. It's win, or don't. I just think it's funny that certain teams get talked about so greatly, that basically are doing the same as the Steelers ....going to the playoffs, and losing. No matter how many words You type, or how you twist it....teams like the Ravens, and the Bills , with Qb MVPs are making the playoffs, and losing before they can get to the SB. What are the Steelers doing??? The same ....making the playoffs, and losing, but without Qb MVPs.

    So you are saying we should have never drafted Watt......well we are not ready to win a SB, so let's not draft a great player. LoL. That sounds crazy.

    How many time the bills and ravens have been one and done in the playoffs in this decade?....Only the ravens in 2022 with one of the worst backup QB in the league but still almost beat a great bengals team

    This is not the same thing that the steelers who are one and done at best every year since 2017 and they have not been in the divisionnal round since the 2018 season..The Bills at their worst are better that the steelers are their best in this decade

    even though you competed the rest of the season to even get to that point? do you think they plan on getting blown out? do you think they give up during the game and don't care? blowouts happen. a loss is a loss. :cool:

    So simple question....are they going to the playoffs, and getting beat while having MVP Qbs...Yes, or No???
    So are the Steelers, but without a Qb MVP.
    There are 3 teams that clearly are doing better than us in coaching, front office.l, and talent acquisition....KC, Eagles, and 49ers. Outside of them....the rest have basically been going to the playoffs to get beat.

    Only in divisionnal round or afc title game and their game are close for the most part....The steelers often start their playoffs game down by 21 points in the wild card round

    I 100% agree that franchise QB matter big time but the Steelers had some embarrassing losses too in the 2010s when we had a franchise QB, like in 2011 against the Broncos with Tebow and 2017 against the Jaguars with Bortles.

    Show me the embarrassing losses like that that the Ravens or Bills have had since they've had their franchise QB?

    I guess you could say against the Titans for the Ravens in 2019, but outside of that, it was against the Chiefs, Bills twice, Chargers when Lamar was a rookie, and the Bengals in 2022 when Lamar was out for the Ravens. And for the Bills, it was against the Texans in overtime in 2019 when Allen was an average QB at that time, and after that, it was against a Dynasty four times (three of those games were very close), and against the Bengals in 2022.

    Close isn't good enough, but at least. It's not embarrassing like when our defense was trash vs Tebow and Bortles in the playoffs in the 2010s.

    Do you remember when the Texans made the playoffs and the team all got varsity jackets? They actually did that. Then they went to Buffalo, I think, and got their tails absolutely whipped. Do you remember that? That is embarrassing.

    when you go in as the last seed, you do face the best team. how many years have we been the last seed or even better had to have a team lose to even put us in the playoffs that we really didn't earn? :cool:

    I think the hopes for him were a bit higher, at least for some in the organization, when we made the trade. I think the 2024 season dulled expectations and that’s why th team would only commit to him for 2025. What I wonder is, if he had signed the Steelers’ offer, would we still be courting Rodgers? That would have been… awkward.

    20 years from now now, no. However, it does matter for assessing your team and determining what you need to make that step to being a champion. Did we compete or roll over? Were we close in talent level or did they steamroll us with a big talent differential? If you lose in the playoffs to an eventual champion by 3, and the film objectively shows that they were only 3 points better than you, that tells you something different about your team and/or coaching than if you lose by 30 and never even challenge. For the same reason, it matters to a lot of fans because it affects the level of optimism about next year.

    The reality is that the Bills and Ravens competed in the postseason at an entirely different level from the Steelers. We all lost in the playoffs, but they were clearly better teams and need less roster/coaching changes to take the next step. It doesn’t mean that either team will, but they are closer.

    The Bills and Ravens also have franchise QBs, the Steelers not so much.

    Interesting question. If Fields had signed with the Steelers I don't think we would be looking to Rodgers. I do think we still draft QB in this draft and have a QB room of Thompson, Mason, Fields, and rookie. Having MR and Fields as the veterans would be enough. But that's just my thoughts on it today. Rodgers is the better QB so maybe the door still would be open.

    losing to a team that can't beat the top team only shows you so much. this all started with getting a franchise qb. OK we name a new qb our franchise guy and then we only lose by 20, has that been a success? was he the factor we needed? sure we are closer to the team that can't beat the best team but are we really better for it? i see it as we still are not where we want to be just because we have closed the point gap. at what point loss do we say we are right where we need to be? 1? 2? 3? yes we can compete but that's as far as we have gotten. still not enough to win the super bowl which is the deciding factor. 1 team wins and the rest are losers by 1 point or 50 points. :cool:

    It's very rare for a team to win a Super Bowl that has never been knocked on the door before, unless it's a young team.

    Just look at the champions since 2019.

    2019 Chiefs:They were in the AFC title game in overtime the year before
    2020 Bucs:True they never been close before but the Bucs had added a 6-time champion at the QB position
    2021 Rams:Been in the super bowl in 2018
    2022-2023 Chiefs:we all know it was not the first time they were contender
    2024 eagles:almost win the super bowl 2 years before

    The current Steelers team doesn't have that experience even though their defense is now old, like the 5th oldest in the league during the 2024 season and they are not younger in 2025....

    They are younger though. That's the whole topic of this thread is how Kahn is rebuilding the roster. Our secondary is mostly the same as last season right now but on the whole we are younger in every position room.
