OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Post Draft - Still dont need no QB

[WheresRamziAbid]

Never telling a guy no isn’t handling them. Letting them get away with whatever they want isn’t handling someone at all. Handling him would be actually disciplining him for showing up late to the Christmas Day game. Or actually criticizing him for quitting onerous instead of making up the lamest excuse in the book that they were “load managing” him. Letting a malcontent continue to do whatever they want is not even remotely close to handling them

Says you. The entire purpose of handling them is to keep them contained enough be rewarded by the on field production. Not to “fix” the or in you case dominate them into submission.

Your just playing the old man that yells at cloud.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

Right, but since you can't just look at the production, who's to say Tomlin's scale is the right scale?

I'm not hardcore on the side of Tomlin mismanaging these guys. I agree with you that you have to be able to put up with some bullshit. I just think there are other (and probably impossible to quantify) affects on the team that you can't just say "he got the production when other's didn't".

Sure, but you also cant waive it away. The only factual parts of this, are the production, and the exact timeline of when this mgmt team feels that scale tips the wrong direction.

The rest is not only subjective, not only intangible but also something we dont even have access to see.

So anyone out there (not saying you specifically) whos argument is that he handles them poorly isnt backed by anything other that their personal feelings about Tomlin in general or outdated concepts of control/punishment.

I really don't see the problem with going BPA on all of all those picks, and either going with a free agent or leaning hard on the 3rd round pick they made last season and who'd have probably gone before anybody other than Golden in this.

Wilson would still be a 3rd or 4th round pick in this past draft. He is going to struggle in the nfl getting open cause everything in college was schemed open.
The free agent options suck but maybe Khan doesn’t put all his eggs in one specific wr like he did last year with Aiyuk

Once you paid DK 30 million you weren’t paying GP Higgins money just admit it Khan.

Pirates Made Mistake Not Firing Ben Cherington

On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Pirates made the decision to move on from manager Derek Shelton after the club's 12-26 start to the 2025 season. While Shelton was a

Howard isn’t going to start at all next season unless there is injuries

Right...and there always are. You do this every single year.

If they do not bring in another WR then they thing Woods is still legit or Roman Wilson was a starter...but if he was starting caliber...why is he on the sidelines last season?

This made me chuckle

He was hurt most of the year and then got hurt again when he came back.

 

[Pens x]

Imagine having to pretend you are “excited” for Woods and Wilson.

 

[WickedWrister]

Guess the shoulder was worse than feared for Carr

 

[OnMyOwn]

Wow. That sucks for him. He was actually bouncing back into a decent QB.

 

[Pens x]

Khan has been a f***ing clown as GM.

Is this the worst roster Tomlin has had in his career?

I know, I know, the season doesn’t start for several months, but homers spewed the same garbage last year, trying to defend Mr. Clean Khan.

Who would have thought having an injured dinosaur Wilson and Fields were substantially better than what we have now.

Pitiful

Are people still trying to convince themselves that 30 year old Rudolph will suddenly be an effective QB?

 

[TooManyHumans]

I thought Rudolph had a chance to be mediocre to ok with the dual threat WRs and a hopefully more effective running game. I expect mediocre at best now unless the running game and o-line suddenly step up big time, which seems unlikely.

I actually thought Mason may catch lightning with the weapons around him.

What are these weapons? And where have they ranked in the NFL as weapons?

Before they traded Pickens? Do I need to list them off or can you look at the depth chart?

Sure dude... they have crazy weapons:

QB?
WR... they just overpaid by a country mile... DK wasn't even Top 15 and played with Jaxon Smith. He won't have that in Pittsburgh or a QB that slings for 500+ attempts for 4,300 yards
RB? Who?
Offensive Line - (spits f***ing drink out of mouth)
TE?

Do I need to list them all to you? Steelers were lower 3rd in TOTAL offense last year and you think they got more explosive?

Before GP was traded they had a top 10 wr room back to bottom 5
