Mike Tomlin is stepping down from the Steelers

Exactly! And even with that parade of, less than stellar QB's, we never went very long without playoff wins.

 

It’s so nice to hear all of this rehashed one more time

 

It will be rehashed until we win another SB.

It's clearly one of these two:

1. You really love it but just present a grumpy attitude for show?
2. You are gaining insight little by little, and you thought you had heard everything there was to hear?

 

Nope

I throw newspapers away after I read them

 

Pretty please, grandpa! Tell us about the time you read stuff printed on a paper!

 

Also beat the 13-3 Broncos in Denver(with Elway)in 1984 with Mark Malone as QB...almost beat Denver again in 1989 with Bubby Brister as QB

 

Of course you do, otherwise they would clutter your house. But with intellect, given the fact that we as humans use roughly 7% of our brain capacity, you've got lots of room for more info.

 

More new info

 

My best friend for years told me once I was a veritable fountain of useless information.

 

The glory of winning on wildcard weekend and then losing the next one. What incredible times!!!

 

Are you saying Tomlin threw the games because he knew he couldn't win the next one?

ETA: That would be the best Tomlin excuse I've heard, at least it has plausibility!

 

Only losing to the hapless Browns would ever make me think that way.

Oh **** ..... hang on a minute.

 

Nope.

I’m just saying I see a big gap between true contention and just winning a playoff game.

I don’t care about building a roster and coaching a team that’s mediocre enough to eke out a WC weekend win.

I’m interested in building a roster and coaching staff that opens up a multi-year window to compete on Championship or SB weekend.

The Steelers lost their way on this between about 2020-2024. I’m encouraged by the last 2-3 drafts that they’ve returned to building the best long term roster possible.

 

Agreed! But ....... baby steps, we were not going to get there with Tomlin, now, let's just see what materializes from here.

I tell my friends who are Browns fans that they will not be relevant until 2 years minimum after the Haslems are gone, We may have to wait that long too.
