Mike Tomlin is stepping down from the Steelers

There's even a post on the page 36 of this thread that says it's crazy how we passed on the hometown boy Donald.

Not only that, but there's a poster that agreed.

It's easy to get caught up in this kind of thing on the internet. Which really primes us to be in "fast" / emotion based thinking (Tomlin is an idiot and I dislike him!) instead of "slow" / evidence based thinking (wait...did we actually pass on Donald?).

 

What I learned here is that (1) you have a beautiful wife (nice!) and (2) you only get to see her ~ once a year (not as nice).

 

Why have international teams?!


Move a team like Jacksonville straight to Great Britain. I would imagine Shahid Khan wouldn't mind.

 

and Goofy

 

But they didn't pass on him he was already off the board.

 

It didn't matter to @Steelersfan43 he just saw Tomlin's name and ran with it .

 

Those are still opinions, but the only one I will question is the line. Only one starter from the 2005 team remained when the Steelers won it all again in 2008. The defense had more pieces still in place, but had its share of changes, including both outside linebackers.

 

Injuries are part of it. How do things look for the Steelers a few years back if they hadn't lost Shazier? It wasn't an injury, but what about the loss of Tuitt?

 

Hence the parenthesis in my post.

But teams move all the time to go get their guys in the draft. It's not hard to do, would have only been a few spots to move up. Problem is the Steelers thought he was a guy you move to ILB. Which is laughable.

 

the loss of Tuitt and Shazier hurts of course but we still should've beat the Jags in 2017. Remember we also lost to the jags in the reg season with Shazier so maybe it was a gameplan flaw that the coaches couldnt figure out more than anything else.

also regarding injuries Noll lost Lambert and Russell at the half of a close super bowl nine and we still won. Just an fyi.

 

They did a decent job retooling the line but todays team doesn't come close to that 2006 team Tomlin inherited. That team was a contender. That is a fact as far as im concerned.
