Where do we improved

So with the season over and looking back at the entire season, where do we need to improve the most??

Is it OL, QB, or RB..
Those are imo the three main spots we need to look hard going into the draft and FA.. Now we won't spend a fortune on anyone in FA, but will there be any decent FA in these positions?? Some may say WR should be in this, but if we can get healthy I think we can have a decent to good WR core.. Washington, Johnson and Juju can be a great core for sure.. DO NOT BRING SWITZER BACK!!!
If Ben returns then these three should flourish.

OL:
I know he is older, but he could help (especially if we draft a OL in the draft) but I wouldn't mind looking @ Bulaga from Packers..

If we cut Pouncey then do we resign Finney??


QB: I think MT and the FO will look and see we went 8-8 with a 3rd and 4th string QB... with that being said.. Lynch is gone for sure... and one of Duck or Mason will be too.. There will be some ok to good FA QB out there, but will hey demand an arm and a leg??
Possibly look @ Rivers, Bridgewater (who will probably land a starting job somewhere) or Mariota..
Rivers has experience and yes he does throw a lot of INT but he can help a lot in tutoring a Drafted QB or would do well if Ben can't go next year.. I don't think we should look @ Winston though...

RB:
Do we look to move on from Connor?? He is a great guy at heart, but can he ever be healthy for a whole year?
Maybe we just use him wayy too much?? I think Samuel is gone.. and right now we have Snell and Connor..
personally we should look @ Drake (arizona), Carlos Hyde (Houston) maybe McCoy (KC) and either Jalen Richard or Peyton Barber...

 

If they are smart, they let Foster walk and keep Finney in his spot knowing he can also play center. Pouncey goes when Ben goes, which will hurt us until he's gone. No way he should have made the Pro Bowl with his play this year. We are also stuck with this sorry coaching staff until Ben's gone.

 

Coaching and GM cus both of these morons have no clue on how to draft or develop.

 

OC needs to go.. along with ST coach..
DC gets to stick around..

 

I disagree about the receiver group. We need a TOP receiver. Neither of Washington, Johnson or JuJu requires defensive coordinators to stay up at night. Neither of these guys requires a double team. So many times during the season I seen no separation from these guys.

 

But with our cap space.. we cannot sign a TOP receiver..

We all know AJ Green won't be coming here.. nor is Amari Cooper (if some of you think he is a TOP receiver) or Emmanuel Sanders
if we bring in/have a chance to bring in any receivers it would be in the group of: maybe Robbery Anderson (but I know he will want top dollar), Geronimo Allison, maybe Randall Cobb..
I don't see any other WR worth looking @..
Hey maybe if we are lucky.. and i mean extra lucky, Larry Fitz may want to return to pitt for one year and end his career in pitt..

 

It begins and ends with QB. If Ben comes back healthy and relatively effective that will make a world of difference in this team. If not, then the team is effed, unless they find a capable veteran.

 

I am of the belief that if you have a good OL then a work horse RB isn’t needed. I’m good with a rotation of Snell, Connor, Samuels, and Whyte in some combination if they improve the OL and QB play.

 

I saw plenty of times when these guys got separation, but the qb didn't have the vision or arm talent to deliver the ball to them........ a good nfl qb is also able to throw his receivers open

 

Johnson
Bush
Watt
Washington
Hargrave
Yeah but they can't draft and develop

 

Samuels isn't a good runner, he's more of a receiving back, they should draft a RB Conner is unreliable.

 

everyone sticks around till ben is done. sad but true. barron and foster may go. please keep finney hilton and maybe dudpree . maybe try for fitzmagic to cover bens beard til he is ready. rudolf will have another chance to groom and show some peach fuz maybe. one can dream

 

Doesn't take a genius to pick Bush and Watt , the rest are average. JJ is probably the one developing TJ, JJ told them to stay away from him before they screw him up too.

The secondary is pretty much made up of trades and signings. They've givin up on trying to develop. The bad pick list is 10 times longer than yours.

 

Anybody know where Rooney lives so somebody can plant drugs in his car. Need new ownership too.

 

Well, the key to your statement is "a good NFL qu is also able to throw his receivers open". Duck is not a good NFL quarterback. Neither is Rudolph. I would say below average.

 

Top priority for me is the OLine, with a bad OLine nothing else on offence can possibly work.

 

They had to trade up to get the right player in Bush, that has to be the dumbest response ever JJ is developing TJ . No team hits on every draft pick . Diontae leads all rookie WRs in receptions with 59.

 

Agree. I don’t think you can make an evaluation till Ben is throwing the ball.

 

Diontae Johnson was an excellent pick, he is going to be a terrific receiver

 

OC: needs to go
ST coach: needs to go
OL: get some youth
QB: get a legit back up

 

thats fine, that’s why you have 4 options to use based on the situation.

 

I just want to say this. Before suggesting a massive overhaul to the team ask yourself this:

Would a healthy Ben Roethlisberger have given them 3 or 4 more wins? IMO yes, thus putting their record at 11-5 or 12-4. That may or may not have won the division but it would change the outlook of the offseason.

Just perspective.

 

WR is the only position where they had the most success,,unless a name jumps out they suck everywhere else.

 

But a healthy Ben = no Minkah. Better offense, worse defense.
