    That Baltimore defense BLANKED the Giants in the Superbowl. Their lone score was a KO return IIRC. Dilfer literally just had to score more than zero and he would win lol

    I have always loved pointing to the Trey Lance trade when someone is giving me a Hard Time about the Steelers taking Kenny Pickett in the 1st round. It could have been worse than giving up only your original 1st round pick on a bust at QB.

    I don't know exactly how I would feel if the Steelers were to sign Trey Lance.

    When Trey Lance played for McCarthy in Dallas, he became the first QB I know of that threw 5 Ints in a Preseason Game; let me repeat that, A PRESEASON GAME!!! :hehehe:

    It's crazy to think he's still 25 and only 6 starts under his belt. I'd be interested if the price is right. Especially if Rodgers is coming back this year. You can be developing two guys behind him. Plus, Lance has been around long enough where you don't necessarily need to bring in a "vet".

    Darnold (28) has had two great seasons (Vikings/Seahawks) and I am expecting him to be a franchise QB for Seahawks. Sadly, I think Patriots got another franchise QB. Maye is only 23.

    Don't care if Darnold keeps kicking ass (NFC) but hope Maye does not keep improving. He has a great HC to keep things going in New England. I like Vrabel and 99% of the time I'm AFC all the way but I don't want the Pats organization to have 7 SB's. That #7 is waiting on the Steelers;)

    Right? :lolol:

    I mean, at some point they have to start drafting quarterbacks. Some of the people that ***** about them not having a quarterback are the same people that I have argued with because they didn't want Jaxson Dart or Tyler Shough.

    Imagine how much better fans would feel if they had drafted one of those guys and they had started down the path of developing a young, athletic quarterback. Everyone gets so obsessed with taking a quarterback in the top five picks of the draft that they dismiss any other quarterbacks that they don't consider elite.

    The team needs to be aggressive and start drafting quarterbacks. I hope Howard has something, but they need to get another young talent in the room. They need to get multiple young quarterbacks in there and let them learn and compete under coaches that understand what they are looking at and can develop them.

    Don't be surprised if they go QB, They were showing major interest in Ty Simpson at the Senior Bowl as per Steelers Insider Nick Ferabaugh.

    But hey lets wait till 2027. Then it will be 2028. Each year you wait and the crop disappoints.

    I'm not saying Simpson will be the pick but sooner then later you have to draft your next franchise QB.

    I would trust in McCarthy to bring a QB in and develop him. And if Rodgers comes back then its like another coach.

    It's great to stack missing pieces but the most important position is the QB. Its high time to consider it.
