Who is the BEST Steeler of the 21st century?!(not including QB)

As an English teacher, I find this both distasteful and amusing and wish I had been there to see it...I mean to intervene! Yeah! That's what I would have done!

These stories of beautiful teachers remind me of my French professor at Pitt. She was absolutely stunning. Tall and tight with long, dark hair and perfect skin. She looked and dressed like a model. The downside to the class was that we were in one of the rooms in the upper levels of the Cathedral of Learning. Most of them were fine, but some smelled bad. This seemed to be one of them. One day we got a notice that we were switching classrooms, which made us happy until we moved to the new location and the odor seemed to follow us. A buddy of mine and I both exchanged disgusted, confused glances. Then the teacher walked close by us and the odor intensified. It finally dawned on us that it was her! I hate to talk about stereotypes of Europeans, but...

 

Tell me why Troy is not the obvious answer?

 

Boooo

 

Barring injuries TJ WATT

 

Couldn't cover.

 

are you serious?

 

Yes., no better closer than him in his era.

 

Troy and Hines are one and two for me. I’ll let you guys and gals debate the others. TJ may be in contention IF and when he contributes to a Lombardi. That’s a prerequisite for consideration in my mind.

 

I would argue that unless you’ve contributed to a Super Bowl victory, you don’t belong on the list, at least not in the top 5. But hey, that’s just me.

So I’d probably replace AB and TJ with Ben and the Bus on this particular list.

Edit: Scratch Ben since I can’t include a QB. Maybe Pouncey, Heath, Faneca all deserve some consideration?

 

TP43 IS the obvious answer. The question was so easily answered fans had to come up with other names to give the illusion of an argument. So many great players have come through, but Troy heads the list.

 

I feel like I was short changed on high school

I went to an all male Catholic high school taught by priests brothers and nuns

 

Pouncey didn't contribute to a Super Bowl victory.

 

I did for a short time, and they wonder why I Loved women so much later. LoL

 

I will add a few: Roosevelt Nix and Chris Fuamatu- Ma'afala

Chris has the the most complex last name I have ever learned to pronounce.

 

NASTY HABIT

 

You are correct. He did contribute to the Steelers making the Super Bowl but was injured for the actual game. I loved Legursky and he played okay, but the offensive line play would have been much more consistent had Pouncey been in there as the anchor.

 

I don't believe it's a nasty habit, but it can be a dangerous one. LoL

 

I love the Bus but my argument against him would be his career was split between the two centuries. If he played from 01-12 then he's a slam dunk. I don't think he played long enough in this century to be included.

My pick would be Troy P 100%

 

I think it might have been Legursky that was knocked into Ben just as he threw the ball that resulted in a pick 6.
