In reply to Lot 49. No, that’s not what I said. Of course they try to win every year. My point is about whether winning was always treated as the overriding priority when decisions involved competing values. Effort isn’t the question; prioritization is.

Again, seriously?

I’m not saying Pickett was a first round quarterback, however what chance of success did he actually have with Matt Canada, a JV offensive line, and a WR core consisting of Dionte Johnson and James Washington? The top WR prospects will be gone by pick 21. Go trim some high priced contracts from those not earning them. Go get Alec Pierce who is much more talented than DK. Draft another WR in rounds 3-5, and get a real safety, physical MLB, and Nose tackle. Benton is a 5 tech and is out of position. Derrick Harmon’s old teammate at Oregon is a generational athletic specimen at DT. 6’3” 330 and runs like a deer. He will likely move up the boards but one can hope.

Yes i wanted tomlin gone for years for bone headed things, timeouts, play calling, etc. The Steelers have changed all the players and coaches and GM except Head Coach and Rooney. So now we can look and see was it really Tomlin or Rooney where the problem lies. The Question that i have and might answer my thought process is, compared to other teams did Rooney invest in support staff. Like dedicated replay staff, assistants, etc. The real question is how much were the OC/DC paid versus other OC/DCs. Was Rooney being cheap and limiting who Tomlin could hire? Coaches and players can only do so much against opponent's who have better support staff, facilities, food, coaches, etc.
