It's not really reasonable to compare the cap hit of a 1 year franchise tag to a multi-year deal with a big signing bonus. If you do that in year...
Gainwell had the perfect skill set for what we needed last year when we had 1 NFL WR (and zero for the games he was suspended for being an idiot)....
Yep. And not just Tomlin. Rooney too. Tomlin was the perfect coach for Rooney IMO. Part of this is likely that the Steelers hired him young and...
Yep. I'm generally a fan of how our FO runs re: not knee jerk firing guys. But that Flores thing was just such a massive opportunity for us. I'm...
I certainly agree that Tomlin didn't do a good job hiring coordinators. One of his bigger flaws IMO. I do wonder how much of this was budgetary...
This is what I've read about him too (but I don't watch NCAA to confirm). But it seems to me that if he had an elite WR in college, many of these...
Like Cowher, I think Tomlin needed good DCs. Guys like Ike credit Tomlin with teaching him a lot about playing CB. But I think a wizard like...
I'm always at least a little suspicious of someone who sucked bashing the team. But he's doing it in a way that's (1) talking about Ramsey getting...
My first reaction to this chart...it's not hard to see the years when Ben missed games in Tomlin's tenure. Second reaction...the combination of...
Not surprising. Hoping that Batch is $10mm too high on the contract and that we pay him basically what that tag value was ~ $15mm. Maybe with...
I wasn't on this board at the time. I didn't want us to sign Najee to the option. I wouldn't have been upset if we did. I thought it was kind of...
I think it's very hard to make any kind of realistic judgements about QBs based on their play in the NCAA. Even pros can't really scout QBs. I...
You may be right. But I tend to believe that the vast majority of coaches don't really change that much.
Certainly not something I said. Because I don't think he'll be the starter this year. And the odds are that he never will be the starter. If he...
I agree with all of this. And I think it shows that what they did wasn't against the rules. But as we've said many times here, we don't really...
I wouldn't say terrible. But he was a disappointment. A good example of why picking a RB in the 1st round is generally not a good idea....
What claims am I making that I can't support? You said snap count earlier. Now you're moving your goal posts. If you're argument is that they...
They could in fact get him on the phone. And they did. While they were still on the clock. It did not stop them from making the pick. A pick...
I think this is a fair opinion to have. I also don't think it's unreasonable that the team is trying to solve a problem we've had forever. I...
I wasted a lot more time and words to get to the same point.
