Steelers of the 1980's > Steelers of the 2020's

It won't happen again until they have a HoF caliber QB, regardless of the coach. Same reason Andy Reid could not win **** without Mahomes or Belicheck without Brady.

 

Eagles won Super Bowls with Foles and Hurts.

 

We will have to see where Hurts' career ends up.

We can continue to cite the exceptions all we want. The bottom line is that without a HoF caliber QB you choose the route of relying on luck or a hot streak over consistent performance.

 

I think the criticism of Hurts is a little ridiculous sometimes.

They've made it to two SB's and won one in the last three years.

In those three years he has a 67% comp%, has thrown for 10,462 yards, 63 td's to 25 ints, and ran for 2000 yards and 42 td's.

So, he's responsible for 13,460 total yards from scrimmage(avg 4,500 per year), and 67 TD's(22 per season) I know a lot of those running td's are tush push, but he's also very good at that play, and has shown impressive durability through all of it.

Those numbers don't really point to someone who was merely along for the ride.
