Ranking of Teams on Free Agency moves

I’m actually starting to be convinced otherwise. I see the Steelers being a legit threat this year in the AFC with Mitchell going up against Allen Mahomes Burrow Wilson…… Stairway to 7!

 

LOL

 

he is holding clevelands.

 

I know. I think Vegas had lamar jackson getting hurt. I wonder what other injuries odds they have out now.

 

That was last yr. This year's afc is different.

 

The Steelers have done well this offseason. The big issue for them is they're at the bottom of the division in terms of proven-QB play, but I'm actually fine with them taking a gamble on Trubisky. Might as well swing for the fences and hope he fulfills his potential, rather than spend draft capital and extra cap room on a more proven, but limited option like Garoppolo.

Until they fix the QB issue I don't think they'll be a true SB contender, but they're trending in the right direction.

 

i don't think the trubisky move alone was the catalyst for trending towards the SB, but the fixing the O-Line to get najee feeding the animal. trubisky gives us a guy that won't have to just stand there and take a beating while defense force him to throw within 2 seconds on passing downs. one should help the other make the offense run smoother and give DC's something else to have to gameplan against. ben made their jobs pretty easy. he made them pay at times but in the long run they knew what was coming and we couldn't change that with our line of last year. or qb.

 

I would say I am. LoL. I believe that makes 3 years in a row Vegas has picked us either 3rd, or last. Yet so far 2nd has been the worst, and We've made the playoffs every time...So....
Make of that what You will.

 

I will repeat this once again . If they can move up to 10 for a ILB (Bush) they definitely can move up next year for a Qb.
No???

 

I think most people who have us going after a top QB next year are also assuming that we will be starting with a top 10 Draft pick in 2023 because of a lousy 2022 season.

 

Free Agent moves are like draft picks, I can't really analyze till after the season ends.
Did they contribute? etc.....
Sure, they played well with the former teams, do they fit here? (Square peg/round hole)

Off the cuff, did they address some needs? Yes.
Did they take some pressure off the draft? Yes.
Did they backfill post draft? Incomplete at the moment. As teams draft, there will be players that lose their jobs that could help.

I don't expect the Steelers to be 17-0 with the additions/subtractions.
I do expect to see them more competitive.
QB is the big question mark.

Within our division: (It is early)
Bengals are better and made some moves to try to improve.
Baltimore is a wild card in that Defenses now know how to play that QB.
Steelers could challenge either if the QB play is good and everything else plays out as expected.
Browns.. Even with Watson, I dunno. They could come roaring out of the gate, or they could tank.

 

why are you so concerned about the Browns? They will play part of this year without Watson since he will face a suspension. Miami? Are you kidding me? C'mon man buck up. The Browns are going to be paying for this deal for a long time. The Steelers made improvement in their team. Good O line pick ups and good linebacker. We will see what Trubisky brings to the table but if it's nothing then his deal didn't screw us for years down the road. Grab some Captain spiced rum and relax!

 

This.

We can reflect on the moves but making predictions at this point is questionable. FA signings are often as unpredictable as draft picks in terms of working out well.

 

I'm still waiting for the MMMC (MarvelousMitchManCrush) era to commence.

They declined the charges.

 

You sort of get to the challenge of the AFC though. The Steelers may be able to win a playoff game, maybe two, with inferior play at the most important position, but to do so 3 games in a row is very remote possibility.

We don't know who really is and isn't better than Trubisky in the AFC right now, but if Zach Wilson and Trevor Lawrence show improvement in their second year, we might actually have the second worse QB in the conference. OK, so maybe Mac Jones regresses and Tua shows nothing, but the probability of every new QB in the conference and every young QB falling flat on their face is zero. Some are going to pan out and some are not. The chances of Trubisky being good is a crapshoot also. Put it all together and the math is not in our favor.

 

Even if Lamar was healthy Baltimore wasn't as good as Buffalo, Kansas City, or Cincinnati.

 

they were up multiple games on cinch before he got hurt. There’s a reason they are the favorite to win the afc north barring injury

 

Lamar wasn't good before his injury last season .

 

They were leading the division. All that matters.

 

I'll admit I got a good feeling about the additions made so far. If they can draft well this could turn out decent for the steelers. Can't remember the last time they were this aggressive in free agency. Fingers crossed.
