What is up with Tomlin?

He retired

 

That is a good thing for the 32 NFL teams.

 

Well maybe 31. Could have been a better thing for us

 

I was fortunate to see Terry right from the beginning. He had his struggles for a couple years, but you could see the incredible arm strength and his athleticism. Once he found himself, it was a thing of beauty watching him play in big games. He threw the best deep ball ever. I remember all those great super bowl performances, and yet the thing I probably think about the most with Terry was watching him in his final game. He had a terrible arm injury, but the team needed him to play. They needed the win against the Jets to make the playoffs. Terry was at a point in his career where he had it all figured out. His arm was banged up, but he simply knew exactly what to do on the field and was able to complete a couple touchdown passes with a bum arm. On the second TD throw he grabbed his arm after the throw, and I felt like I had just seen him throw his last pass as a Steeler. It was such so sad knowing that. We later found out that it was official, and Terry was retiring. They beat the Jets that day, but it was the end of something for many of us that had seen his entire career and four Super Bowl victories.

I now think about how long we had to wait from the time Terry retired to the first time we saw Ben enter a football game.

I've never seen anybody play the position the way Ben did. You touched on the aspects of his game that were impossible to forget. It was something to behold.

I'm glad you got to see him play and I hope you get to see the next great Steelers quarterback very soon, as do I.

 

That's awesome!

I wish I got to see our boys in the 70s. Must have been amazing to have lived through.

I also think it would be good if the NFL was still structures so that young QBs had time to develop like they did back then.

 

I don’t think a Steeler coach who won a SB is allowed to coach for another team.

Seriously though, I think the Rooney’s spoil their coaches and they wouldn’t feel right working for another organization.

Who would want to coach somewhere else knowing they have to rent instead of buy because the organization has gone through 8 coaches during your tenure with the Steelers’s coach?

 

Like when Cam during his sit in threatened to play for Cleveland

I think even his wife called bs on that
