Mike Tomlin is stepping down from the Steelers

It wasn't just a Tomlin decision if you think the OL coach wasn't involved too .

 

Are these same fans going to just blame McCarthy if Fautanu and McCormick fail by moving to the left side?

 

First of all, it's Haslam. Who the fưck is haslem? Secondly, Haslam bought the team for just over $1B and they are worth close to $5B today. That's a net gain of 400% in 14 years. That's one helluva a return. Haslam isnt going anywhere any time soon. Which means they continue to do dumb browns shít.

 

And who hired the OL coach, smart guy? Stick to just reposting tweets and leave your commentary out because it's lame AF.

 

Sometimes it makes sense to play a player out of position the Steelers had Seumalo at LG, McCormick got a chance to play as a rookie because Daniels got injured IIRC. Moving Jones wasn't ideal for his development but I don't think he has the makings of a franchise LT.

 

He came out of the closet a long time ago.

 

Tomlin is gone - we had some good times and some bad times. Take it for what it is.

I do think it’s interesting to hear the same people who complain about Tomlin, and his poor playoff record, turn around and celebrate McCarthy.

Let’s be honest, McCarthy and Tomlin have coached almost the same number of years and have very similar regular season and playoff W-L.

Tomlin had a poor W-L record in the playoffs, but McCarthy isn’t that much better (.4 vs .5). Lest we forget that McCarthy always had very good starting QBs (Farve, Rodgers, and Prescott). As good as Ben was, Rodgers was arguably among the best ever in his prime.

I wish McCarthy all the best, and will root for him and the teams success. Having said that, there is a fair chance we see more of the same in the next few years (assuming we don’t figure out a way to address the same problem areas that plague this team).

 

This is made even worse by the fact that, Amarius Mims (someone who happens to be a very good friend of Broderick Jones), is blossoming into one of the best Right Tackles in the NFL despite him being even more raw and more inexperienced than Broderick was coming out. Amarius exclusively played Right Tackle for fewer games yet Broderick played Left Tackle for far more.


Critique as much as one wants about Zac Taylor but he handled Amarius way better than Tomlin did Broderick.

 

You know because of changing so much on it I can't remember what model it is. Its never too late to start my friend

 

Dude I played out my 1st time when I was 15 in a teen bar. Do people remember those??? I still get dry mouth , and have to piss with nerves even now. LoL
Here is the only Guitar I still own with a tremolo, and I never play it out because I hate dealing with them. This same guitar broke 4 string at the same time while I was playing live. Good thing it was an easy song(Machine Head by Bush)or I would have been lost trying to keep up on the strings I had left. After that I went to all guitars without tremolo.

 

LoL

 

Not a fan of the move. OTOH they didn't have much of an option (unless you were sold on Cook). We'll see how it works out.

 

McCarthy had Rodgers in his prime and one of the best home field advantages and only made it to one Super Bowl in the weaker NFC.

 

10 N 2
10 N 2 BABY

 

The Steelers haven't historically gifted started positions to guys who didn't win the job against a vet (who's often weak competition).

Jones didn't beat out the weak competition at LT.

Off the top of my head, there are two times where we gifted the starting position to a guy without competition. Both on the OL. One worked really well (Frazier), the other was an utter disaster (K Green). I'm sure it's happened more frequently than this, but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

Starting Jones at RT when he didn't win the LT job was much better than having him sit when we were in desperate need of a starter at RT.

Honestly, the thing I think we did wrong IMO was rotating series between Jones and Troy (briefly before Troy got hurt) after Jones lost the competition for both LT and RT. If Troy didn't get hurt, that would have hurt the development of the guy in that tandem that was the better NFL starter.

 

Tomlin wasted Bens prime years. We had a loaded offense, HOF Qb and top10 defense but couldnt do squat since 2011. Of course you have to blame the coach (and owner),

nothing personal. But as a fan, thats what ill always remember Tomlin for.

as far as McCarthy, cant assume it will be the same. For one hes offensive minded. Two, hes a local, that may give him that extra drive to finish off his career on a high note. Have to give him a few years and a chance to obtain a franchise Qb.

Hes inherited a team in partial disarray. Give him a chance, at least a few seasons. They gave Tomlin more than enough time.

 

First of all, the Browns current value is $6.4B. Secondly, if you are going to scold someone for a speech to text error, you should probably use proper punctuation and capitalization, it's the Browns, not the browns, and it's isn't, not isnt.


You and scribe should get together.

 

Nice try fûckstick. Go crawl back under your bridge.

 

Ben wasted Ben’s prime years. He admitted as much in an interview. Maybe if Ben practiced his craft more in the offseason than chasing tail he would’ve continued a historic run.

The only year I think Tomlin failed Ben was the AFCCG in NE. That defensive game plan sucked. Even that year, we had a chance for home field advantage and got screwed by the Jesse James call.. but Ben also had a chance to win the game or play for OT but he threw an ill advised INT in the end zone.

 

The afc title game against the patriots was in the 2016 season....the Jesse James call was in 2017.2 different years

 

If I were under a bridge, I could look up your skirt!

 

Another conversation going well

 

I really like the emerging narrative that Tomlin's lack of playoff success is the result of him being a bad coach but McCarthy's lack of playoff success is just a reason that he will be a better coach.

I do not care how each individual person evaluates this or that coach...but at least be internally consistent. Portraying yourself as this clinical assessor of the state of a team and then using broken logic repeatedly just undermines whatever position you are trying to stake out.

If you didn't like stale gameplans, odd challenges, questionable clock management, and a wandering commitment to the running game from Tomlin; then you better buckle up for the Mike McCarthy experience. Because it is that - or, at least it was exactly that in Green Bay. Maybe he has changed? But I doubt it.

Is Mike McCarthy a better offensive coach than Mike Tomlin? Absolutely. Is he better with QBs? Certainly. Does he have significant flaws and drawbacks as the dude in charge? Also, yes.
