    See moving the goal post. Was Polamalu draft, or not drafted after a winning season Yes , or No. Was 8-8 a losing season yes , or no?? Was TJ Watt draft after a winning season?? No just like Your little buddy that agrees with anything you say , You can't do it without moving the goal post. Every one of them I name were not taken in a losing season so stop trying to weasel your way out of the truth. It's not very becoming of You.

    You think the NBA is bad? Watch for some epic tanking in 2026 by teams looking for a QB. If even half the QBs show out this season you're looking at maybe 3 in the top 10 picks.

    How is pointing out Steelers weren't picking low enough in 2003 in order to draft Polamalu with their original pick... moving the goal post? Steelers traded up and got Polamalu... and it worked out great, unlike Devin Bush. It's a fact. Steelers had to trade up to get Polamalu after a winning season... because Polamalu would have been GONE if they had stuck with their original pick. And Bell was not picked after a winning season. In 2013, a winning season required a 9-7 record. 8-8 is not a winning record.

    The tanking in the NFL will never be at the NBA level of this year....10 teams are just awful in the NBA,the tank job by teams like the jazz and others in the last few years are such a disgrace

    Of course,to be honest I would love to see the steelers doing a similar rebuild that the OKC Thunder several years ago, but that also requires a Herschel Walker-type trade (SGA-Paul George and so many first round pick in the NBA case), which is so unlikely.

    :lolol: How can you miss the point and get the point at the same time lol. Your first paragraph misses it and your second paragraph gets it. Yes dude, it’s all because of better draft position that people say that. And to be clear, what myself and others say is we would rather have a bad season than just eke out a 9 or 10 win season, make the playoffs just to get embarrassed over and over and over. Maybe you enjoy that sort of futility, lot of us don’t.

    As for better draft position not making a difference, one of the most absurd things I have ever seen said on here. Do you think every front office is equal? You’re talking about perennial losing organizations that are consistently drafting high because they are poorly run teams.

    Yes, I mentioned TJ and that you can find studs later in the draft but to pretend having better access to the top end talent doesnt make a difference is a break from reality. You’re pointing to the occasional hits that we have had, hell, I’ll raise you completely failed draft classes which we have had far too many of towards the end of Colberts tenure.

    Better draft position matters, you still have to make the most of it and draft well.

    My guy if you cant tell the difference between knocking on the door to the SB and being humiliated in the first rd 6 years running, often being down 21 points, there is no point discussing it further.
