Because what Cowherd said in 2018 is still true today....

This may be true.

And it's also exactly what many were saying about Cowher and the Marty-ball offense until we won.

The problem is that today's NFL is hyper-focused on the QB. And we haven't had good QB play since before Ben got hurt.

We'll probably never get to find out, but I think we would be more aggressive offensively if we had above average QB play. But I think the way to achieve the mission of the team (try to win every week so you can be competitive to make the playoffs ever year) without an above average QB is this turtle ball and hope the D plays well enough to carry the team.

THIS!!!

I feel like I’m hallucinating some times. I remember when they had Ben R people yelling on Steelers message boards that Tomlin was too aggressive on offense and defense. Needed to play safer.

Now he’s playing too safe. And around and around we go.

It’s driven by his father or lack thereof in his QB room.
