I for sure thought patterson would be a cut candidate

I think he's definitely getting cut. They're going to draft a RB in probably the 3rd round and that guy will eventually take over the RB2 spot from Gainwell.

To be fair, with the crappy Tomlin forced offense who cares who the quarterback is?

I just wonder why they paid so much for a wide receiver that stretches the field when to Tomlin stretching the field means throwing an entire five yards down field.

he can block on those 3rd and 6 toss sweeps to a lumbering RB

So gainwell is mid?

So gainwell is mid?

He will fit right in

They definitely take a RB - depending who it is depends on if Patterson or Gainwell sticks. I like a lot of different guys in this draft, so it can go many directions.

Omar Khan Just Solved the Steelers Future Franchise Quarterback Problem

Certainly not getting anywhere near the top 10 wife a handful of mid-round picks, but we should be landing some comp picks next year. Teams are allowed to have 4 max picks. Daniels getting hurt really f***ed us because he would have certainly been a 3rd round comp if he stayed healthy.

This is good though.

One of the most satisfying articles I’ve read in quite some time about the Steelers - actual truth telling about Tomlin and the state of the org from a Pgh media member;

Tim Benz: 2 reasons Steelers fans should want Aaron Rodgers — and you're going to hate both

Aaron Rodgers is an aging, declining, narcissistic distraction of a quarterback who is asking for too much money. And I desperately hope the Pittsburgh Steelers sign him. For two reasons. Neither of which you will want to hear. First of all, regardless of who becomes the starting quarterback of the

triblive.com

Of course, that’s bogus gum-flapping from the on-camera members of the “Tomlin Defense Foundation” at all of the NFL national network partners and many league-wide print/online publications.

All of them play an illogical game where they twist themselves into a pretzel by trying to absolve Tomlin from any blame about how his rosters have been constructed, yet they simultaneously throw rose petals at his feet for being a maestro with a firm hand on the baton at all times keeping the orchestra together.

Tomlin has his finger on the pulse of everything that goes on in that organization’s football operations — regardless of whether the national media only acknowledges that when it’s convenient to their narrative of Tomlin’s infallibility.

The Steelers, even if they bring in Rodgers and have success, are built like a house of cards. The only thing this does is kick the can down the road further.

I'd love to see the wheels fall off and everyone gets nuked before the draft here. That's my ideal scenario.

Little Dan has a f***ing mess on his hands.

I really don't get what people are upset about with Khan. There was nothing they could have done this offseason to change their outlook for 2025. Everything is about setting things up to draft a QB in 2026. They will have a still young, cheap, but experienced OL with Jones-McCormick-Frazier-?-Fautanu. Potentially 2 WR1 if they keep Pickens. A good receiving TE. We'll see who they end up with at RB. They will hopefully have a ton of picks to move up in R1 next year to get their guy at QB. It's as good of a situation for a young QB to walk into that we could hope for...apart from the coaching staff that is living in the 70's, but that's not going to change while AR2 is still here.

I can't give Khan too much credit until he sticks the landing, but there at least seems to be a long term plan instead of desperate moves to try and win in 2025.
