    Are you talking to me?

    I've already been on record that starting Pickett over Trubisky will NOT make much of a difference. The entire team has too many flaws. It won't be solely Trubisky's or Pickett's fault for the team tanking this year.

    Do you use the word doomed frequently enough that I’m supposed to associate it with you?

    That's what I thought. Guess it was one of those people who like to start that kind of drama.

    Agreed there is no reason to say that. It would be if there was something in that rule about firing, but there's 100% nothing. The rule is just about giving a fair chance at getting an interview.

    Where's Extend Tomlins Contract, with a bonus? I'll vote for that one.

    Pickett did outplay trubiski in preseason..
    Truthfully, the only reason he didn't win that competition is that he's a rookie....
    Tomlin had no intention of starting the season with a rookie under center... He said as much towards the end of last season

    That is only partially correct

    You are out of town and I guess you got most of your opinion from this message board and misinformation on the net

    More information came out long after but after a good rumor starts facts be damned……

    Tomlin did increase his input on the defensive game plan as a head coach had the right to

    He was not as people wrongly suggested doing the game day on the field play calling

    He as head coach certainly had the right to interject when he felt appropriate

    Are you saying Mike Tomlin was not calling the defense for the last 2 years? I could have sworn I read an article about how Mike was calling the defense.

    This article sounds like Tomlin took over as Defensive Coordinator in 2018. ( So that would mean 4 years ago)

    From a 2018 article.
    The three-ring circus that is the Pittsburgh Steelers just got another attraction. According to Post-Gazette writer Ed Bouchette, head coach Mike Tomlin took over at least a portion of the defensive playcalling from defensive coordinator Keith Butler.

    He called many of the defensive plays from the sideline this season. He also took charge of many of the secondary meetings and those with the entire defense.

    No Brice I’m not saying that

    What I’m saying is exactly what I posted

    Read what I posted

    Read what you posted

    They are not necessarily contradictory

    But a lot of what came out early was twisted on narrative or just out right inaccurate

    I knew better than believe the early exaggerated hype so I waited (months?) until the truth came out then it made more sense

    I won't. I expect rookie stuff from Him, but I would like to see a different Qb under Canada's offense. So far I've seen a washed Ben, and Trubisky.

    I don't, and won't agree He was the year before.

    It's hard to really tell who's to blame. We hear some complaints coming out, we see lousy results on the field from play calling and player execution. Mitch reported has said he can't call a different option on some plays, but we also see him not looking past the first option often. The results are ugly regardless and players are starting to grumble. Ultimately that will leas to frustrations being seen on the field. Organizations Rarely listen to fan reactions..though I like to think the Rooneys regularly like my posts ...lol. What they don't like is a team imploding and turning on each other. There was an article today where unnamed players were complaining about Canada, if it keeps up soon those players frustrations will be seen on the sideline...no owner wants to see that in a nationally televised game.

    That’s because he’s a clown with no clue. Great idea let’s wait 2 years to see if your number 1 pick QB can play makes zero sense. That will put Tomlin at 7 years without a playoff win but who’s counting

    If we lose to the lowly Jets at home, think it’s safe to say that all H3ll will break loose everywhere.

    Anyone is better than Trubisky. The Bears haven’t had a decent QB in years if they give up on one it means he sucks.

    This is a fair point. I made the mistake of reading LSU fans talk about him and I already written him off before he had a cup of coffee as a coach.

    What I couldn't get beyond is he had arguably some of most athletically gifted football players in the world playing at LSU to work with but at the same time it was the SEC where most of the teams have elite talent that he had to scheme against.

    And on the field. Many passes that ate catchable are still thrown high or wide. I loved Pickens acrobatics, but you can't expect that on every play. I thought this would be the week..longer time to prepare, home, weaker team, but it's not happening.
