    Please explain who was responsible for our mediocre Qbs?
    The whole roster of retreads? Rooney and Kahn?
    Tomlin didn’t have a say who he wanted? Oh, that’s right, he was goo goo for KFP.
    Tomlin isn’t innocent. Yea hats off that he never had a losing season with the sorry roster he helped build.
    Credit where credit is due
    But he is not innocent

    I totally agree, but don't let that fool You. I will be rooting for him as long as he's our HC, and I honestly hope to say one day that he is the greatest HC we ever had.

    With someone else's players. Isn't that how the saying goes?? He didn't draft either of his HOF Qbs.
    Added to this , both Qbs won MVPs without him.

    I've explained this before, but maybe you forget daily. Tell me who were we supposed to go draft, or get that we didn't??? That all fine, and dandy to say that , but tell me who??
    Only person I can think of maybe Sam Darnold, but you didn't even want him, your own words.

    And Tomlin didnt? So they both had teams drafted by other coaches and MM still won the most important stat, head to head win in the SB with a team that finished with a worse record.

    In typical Tomlin fashion they were down 21-3 in that game.

    LoL. The only reason I even said it was because that's all I hear about for Tomlin.
    Yeah Tomlin told Ben, hey Ben throw two Ints and make sure one is a pick 6, and hey Mendenhall, when the block is missed, and we are making a comeback, PLEASE please fumble it away. You correct, I'm sure those were Tomlins exact words. LoL
    I don’t remember, did we ever have a MVP Qb while Tomlin was here?? Have we had a MVP Qb since Bradshaw??
    McCarthy had two, and before You say anything. Both Qbs won MVPs even when McCarthy wasn't their HCs.

    You’re the one running around saying how Tomlin has been to 2 SB’s to McCarthys 1.

    I’d say winnning a head to head match up is more meaningful but hey thats just me.

    LoL.
    Being able to do it without MVP Qbs is pretty meaningful, but hey that's just me.
