    It was so brutal to watch a Matt Canada offense in every sunday for almost 3 years!

    Whether you think Pickett would have ever been a good QB or not there is no denying they handled a 1st rd QB pick about as horribly as they could.

    And yet, we turn around and extend the person who hires and keeps said OC for three long wasted years

    Yeah, too much stability is not always a good thing...I mean, we have always had the same schemes on defense for a very long time now even if the defense is almost always exposed come playoffs time since the Tebow game in 2011 or against a top 10 QB in regular season for at least 75% of the time...The day they will change the defensive schemes for good, I will be so happy

    That offense was bad, I can only wonder if it might have made guys like Kevin Dotson look bad, when they go on to have success on other teams.

    Justin Fields says "Hold my Beer!"


    Bryce Young said "S#!t... hold my bottle of Henny!"

    Given how Arthur Smith did revive Ryan Tannehill's career, here is hoping he can do the same for Wilson; Fields even should Wilson not pan out. Either or panning out will help the team's ability to build the roster; doubly so in Fields' case. If not, expect the Steelers FO to be hunting for a QB in the 2025 Class.


    Still want Drew Allar above all else. Quinn Ewers is the wild card though I don't think he will last that long should he play to the level that many project him to (Top three in the Heisman Voting odds)

    That offence was a tough watch without a doubt. It was madness to bring Canada back in 2023, everyone could see that he wasn’t NFL standard.

    Its good that they faced the issue mid-season but it really shouldn’t have come to that

    those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

    it never hurts to re-vist the past of this debacle!

    The situation he's in with that kind of pressure and those 2 monster athletes behind him should make him a better NFL prospect.

    It's always all started with Rooney's. That's the way it is.

    We've survived worse. Heck til 70s people laughed at the Steelers. We survived Neil ODown fer cripe sakes. But even then we were somebody. Steelers are always somebody. Better than being nobody. I consider myself pretty dang fortunate that my Steelers are always a threat. Like I've said before I'm here, I take pride in saying that when you come to the AFC North, you may win, you may lose, but you're going to lose next week cuz you're going to get beat up

    The Steelers aren't going to hand their team over to a rookie like Allar, he plays good against the bad teams but struggles against Ohio State and Michigan.
