I'm proud of this team

Me too, I have said all year they improved their
talent roster and talent depth over last season.
Unfortunately we were hit by the injury bug, some inconsistent play.
The players that have filled in for the injured have done an admiral job
I just wish we would have started the season with a different Oc/ playcaller.
Go Steelers!

 

How about they win a postseason game first? Until Tomlin proves otherwise, I expect the 7th consecutive season without a postseason win. Obviously, I hope my expectations will be exceeded. Last playoff win was January 15th 2017. 7 years ago today.

 

I don’t know about that, there are some QB hungry teams out there right now. Have you seen the quality (or lack thereof) of some the quarterback play around the league this year. I could name several teams off the top of my head that Mason would have a very good chance of starting for. I read yesterday that Sean Payton in Denver may have an interest in Rudolph when he becomes a free agent. We’ll never know now, but I’m positive Belichick would have made a run at him if he’d stayed in New England.

 

I don't think we are disagreeing

I don’t think anyone would just hand him the starting gig

But I see him getting more than a number 3 job

Therefore what is left is he gets signed to compete and if he wins number 1 good if he doesn’t he’s number 2 and be ready when needed

And he could have that same opportunity here

Kenny will probably get another long hard look but Mason has already seen what Kenny can and can not do

 

But the great Trevor Lawerence???? #1 Draft selection probably
Has made over 20 million so far on his rookie contract. Nothing!

 

That’s why it makes me laugh when posters proclaim “we need to draft a can’t miss quarterback”

 

Me too, it really is all the positions. There is bad fundamentals being
coached thru out the us at every level.

 

Can we see KP under the same play callers Mason ran under?

 

I don't believe so.Pride is hard to over come. I think he will go to highest bidder
and chance to parlay That chance into one last contract.Maybe some place closer to home. Dallas anyone
Carolina? I am picking Carolina.

 

so - this is strike # like 26 against Tomlin - player eval. Was he UNABLE to see that Mason had gotten better over the years? We missed it as FANS, but we are just that - FANS. We don't see camp, all that goes on in practice, etc.

What we DID know, was that Trubisky SUCKS!

 

Right. Even if he goes to another team it will most likely be in a compete to be starter at best. Why not stay where you already have that scenario.

I hope he does well today. I think this helps Kenny in the long run even if he won't admit you can learn from the sideline.

 

Hopefully

Next season

Unless there is a new OC

 

I disagree that there are no teams out there who won’t at least consider Mason as a starter, especially if he produces in the playoffs. I think he’s caught the eye of multiple teams with his performance already. But I hope he sees it the way you do and that he feels the Steelers are his best chance to start and is back in the B&G next season.

 

I'd take Lawrence in a heartbeat. I think his ceiling is just as high as Josh Allen's, maybe higher. Allen is as good as he'll ever be right now. After a rocky start, he's helped turn the Jaguars into a contender since he's been there. This seasons end downhill slide started when Lawrence got injured, I don't think he was anywhere near 100% healthy from that point on. If not for the injury, the Jaguars would've made the playoffs. He's easily a top 10-12 QB, and top 3-5 talent wise

 

I'm proud of the Steelers for not giving up. For firing Matt Canada. For the way the offence has improved. For Tomlin getting another non-losing season. For Steelers winning Superbowl<ooops not happened yet>

 

It is time , can't really object.

 

I think it's now or never for Tomlin. If he can't win today, I doubt if the Steelers will ever win another playoff game with him as HC

 

That's close, but neither only lost one divisional game. All I'm getting at is if I told everyone at the beginning of the year we would go 10 -7, and 5-1 in the division....nobody would have thought We would only be a 7th seed.

 

Say it truly. After not getting a starting role...not ....He didn't get a Bite in free agency....that is spreading false facts. He got bites..., but they were backup roles.

 

Allen can be even better if he gets a QB coach to help lower the turnovers.

I'd take the following QB's over Lawrence without hesitation:

Mahomes
Stroud
Herbert
Burrow
Lamar
Allen
Purdy
Hurts (50/50)

By year three, Elway, Luck, & Manning were top tier QB's. All capable of making others better. Two of those guys are HOFers. A third would have been a HOFer if his GM didn't sabotage him with an awful OL.

Lawrence has not reached that point. Obviously, there is time. The Jags have a major decision to make on what type of contract he will get.

 

I understand where fans are coming from but I actually would give Tomlin a break here. I know Trub was a dud and Pickett unproven but we are using a third string QB in a road game minus one of the greatest defensive players in the game. I'm giving Tomlin a pass on this one. This is one of his weaker teams going into the Playoffs. That said, watch this be the one he is brilliant in and leads us to Baltimore.

 

Mahomes, Burrow, and Allen are the only 3 guys on your list that I'd take over Lawrence, and even Allen is debatable. Stroud has looked very good, and is possibly a star in the making, but let's see if he can continue at this level for a few years. Hurts is nothing more than a poor man's Jackson, and Jackson hasn't won a damn thing. Same for Herbert. Lawrence has more talent in his baby finger than Purdy has in his whole body, he's a good game manager, and nothing more

 

You're not sure we've swept the Bengals and Ravens before? without looking it up I'd be shocked if it hasn't happened before. I'm fairly certain it has. We've dominated the Bengals for a long time and have swept the Ravens before, including when we won the SB, we had to beat them 3 times
