How much better is Polamalu?

How much better is Polamalu than Chris Harris/ Godfrey? Scale of 1 to 10? Reason I made this thread is because there is a noticeable difference to Pittsburgh's defense now that Polamalu is out. I am wondering if we were to upgrade lets just say the SS/FS position would we look as good as Pittsburgh's defense looks?

Please no mention of Peppers and salary caps. I know Polamalu's and Ed Reeds don't grow on trees I am thinking maybe thats the missing component of our defense. I know we need DT's, but everyone else seems to get by with whomever they put at DT. Look at Tennesse's front four.

Polamalu/Ed Reed are a 10 btw. I can't think of any 1's to mention as the bottom of the scale.

I think Chris Harris is a 6 and Godfrey a 5.

probably the same difference between Peyton Mannnig and Kyle Orton. Kyle Orton can play the position and make an occassional play.....but he shouldn't even be in the same thought as Peyton. Our Safteys should even be mentioned in this thread in a Troy analogy.

dude it is not even close. Polamalu is head and shoulders above any safety we have or have ever had on our roster. The thing about our safeties is that if they make a big play it is surprising. For Polamalu it doesn't surprise you for him to make a big play ANYWHERE on the field....in the backfield with a sack or tackle for a loss....a tackle up the middle at the line of scrimmage....an interception at the linebacker level...and interception on a top tier WR...etc...it doesn't surprise you because he is wherever the ball is. We don't have a safety like that. or anywhere near it.

Head and Shoulders......Polamalu......real cute

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.

      It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
