Do you think Mike Mitchell leaving was a good thing in the end?

As I'm watching the Steelers, Mitchell once again makes a dumb penalty. All year when I watch him, he is either out of place, or causing some kind of serious penalties. You think it was better that we went with Boston instead of sticking with Mitchell?

There's a sub forum for this stuff.

Ehhhh. I'm glad Norman has stepped up and kind of taken Mitchell's role as the vocal guy in the secondary. If he didn't I'd probably still want Mitchell. At this point his loss isn't as bad as it looked 2 months ago.

Bring back Mitchell, Ginn and Lafell. Super Bowl fo'sho.

I'm not really thinking about Mike Mitchell at this point. He is the furthest thing from my mind. I like what we have right now.

the meanness in the secondary is being brought more by Boston then Norman. Norman chats but Boston hits tugging hard. Hell I've even seen Bene lay harder hits then Norman.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

We got that man paid.

Really though we're getting production out of a much cheaper secondary. Can't complain about that.

I can't tell you how many times I have typed the following sentence on this forum:

 

"If we had re-singed Ginn, Captain and Mitchell to their over-sized contracts, it would have reflected NO change at all from the Marty Hurney era of overpaying average players and dooming us to future cap hell."

 

 

so fug yes it was, Mitchell would have had to had a top 5 safety season - the likes of Earl Thomas, Weddle, etc. to warrant that deal. He has been below average with the Steelers to make it an even more brilliant move. 

 

And this isn't a bash Mike Mitchell post, I really liked the guy for us and I'm really happy he got paid.
