OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: No 3peat for the Swifts

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Yes they changed game-plan thats a completely different discussion. RW was playing like rookie down the stretch and was treated as such. Isn’t it interesting the Steelers or Raiders don’t want RW. If he can’t convince the Giants to pay him he might be jobless

This makes no sense - you always try to dance around Tomlin being culpable for the mess this org has become.

Tomlin is the one who brought in Wilson.

Tomlin is the one who decided to start Wilson mid-season.

Tomlin is the one who kept him as the starter as the team went on a five game slide to end the season.

If you can’t trust a QB who has played 13 years in the league to audible, why is he starting?

He was still audibling even in the playoff loss he wasn’t doing it well theres a reason RW is going to be on his 3rd team in 3 years. Tomlin is stubborn and went with 13 year starter who won a sb over the high end backup and the sb winning qb blew up in his face. It’s not like JF was going to win the playoff game

Ya, they would lose in the playoffs no matter who the starter is, because Tomlin is the coach - that’s a given, like the sun will rise every morning.

That doesn’t change the reality that Tomlin stuck with RW, despite protests from his staff - because he’s arrogant and never fears being held accountable.

That decision helped sink the team down the stretch and cost them a division title.

As I’ve explained to you again and again, he’s a poor Xs and Os guy, he constantly makes brain dead decisions, and he hasn’t developed any legit talent outside of Watt the last decade.

So this isn’t really about Wilson - all roads lead back to Tomlin, the root cause of this org failures.

It didn’t matter who was Qb but might as well go with the SB winning Qb last season. Next season sure go with Fields and have a solid backup option because he will get hurt and miss time and struggle but he is only 26 and should be cheap

If Fields isn't the starter I'm going to be really disappointed.

I didn't think the Garrett situation was serious, but it apparently is. They will have a metric shit-ton of picks. I'd imagine Cam Ward and a WR will be two of them.

We should be picking weapons out of this draft, but maybe we use this draft to get cheaper on defense so we can spend more money on offense. There are day 1 starters probably up until the 3rd round defensively in this draft. DL maybe further than that.

I don't ever see us flipping TJ, Minkah, or Highsmith. We know Cam is here. So this thing is going to be built organically. I still think trying to back up and get more picks is our best option.

KC has some extra picks - I'm wondering if 21 and Queen could back us up to 31 and get us another 2 and 3?
