What should the Steelers no. 1 priority be in the off-season?

I know it is the camera angle, but it looks like Green is skipping leg day from that image. LOL!

 

and there is our new offensive tackle in the middle.

 

I don't think the sentiment expressed was to cut bait or not give someone a chance to develop. It's more along the lines of no matter how much you like someone coming out of the draft there's a chance they won't pan out. If that's the case, waiting for a can't miss before pulling the trigger is not good, because he very well may miss.

To use an analogy from a different sport, good things happen when you shoot the puck toward the net. You can't just take any shot, but you do have to shoot to score, and waiting for that perfect opportunity may not be productive.

 

Seeing what we didn't do this offseason; I wish I would have said a new coaching staff.

 

T. Bridgewater hasn't hit his ceiling???
Well How many teams have 2 let Him go before He does???

 

Bridgewater would be an improvement over Mason. He can play the year and than next draft we can target Stroud or see what that class of QBs brings. It will be better than this years. So target next year for a QB. For next season, Bridgewater or maybe even Brissett or Jameis Winston if it can work.

 

he's 28. I think there could still be some improvement. This route would free up the draft and still give us some free agency money over say Russell or Aaron and better then brisset or mariota.

 

I honestly don't see Him being better than Mason.
My thing is if We are not going 2 go all in on a Qb why bother. Beef up the rest of the team ,and get one next Year. Why spend money , or picks on something that is not 100% for positive better than what We have. We have other areas that could be better spent on.
Unless He it the Guy We are going 2 be building around for the next 10, or so years, and I don't think Trubisky, or Bridgewater are that Guy.

 

if Steelers are not going for Pickett or Willis then get a center. Let Mason or Haskins start .Then get a Qb next year, because everyone says Mason sucks, So let him suck and get# 1 pick

 

No Trubisky no Minchew no Garoppolo none of them no Cousins no no old Rodgers no Russel Wilson no get Pickett or Willis or forget it

 

how about winston?

 

Hmmm. He's a tricky one. I'm really not sure about Him....if I'm being totally honest. There are times He looks freaking awesome, and times He looks flat out awful.

 

Agreed. I'm very much against taking Willis. I don't think they should take a quarterback in the first round just to take one. Also, it is unrealistic to think they would cut bait on a quarterback taken in the first round quickly. They wouldn't. They would probably give the guy at least four years.

A lot of talk about the OL,And they were bad but.....BUSH AND the other other ILB we're HORRIFIC!!!!!!Granted losing Tuitt and Alualu were huge losses but.....Watching MY Steelers get Gouged week after week, was hard to watch!

NOBODY, Even in our " ****ty " Years and bad teams... NOBODY used to run on us! At the end of the year imo, the DL was even playing pretty good, and we still got Gouged! The ILB's we're garbage!

 

And to add to my own question...We need TWO ILB's! There isn't ONE good one on the roster!

 

Look at this team's history. They like stability. If they spend a first-round pick on a quarterback this year, that's their long-term guy for at least four years. That would be especially true of Willis, who would probably spend most of his rookie season on the bench.

 

That's fine, but you have to take into account that the Steelers won't do that. That is why they shouldn't take a quarterback in the first round just to take one. If they get it wrong, which seems to be a high risk with this year's quarterbacks, that will set the franchise back four years. That is especially risky with a guy like Willis. Even many of his supporters talk about him being raw.
