I was born in 1954 in Pittsburgh, PA and lived there for 43 yrs...........the Steelers were one of the original NFL teams founded in 1933 and for the next 39 years were the butthole joke bottom feeders of the NFL never getting to the post season until 1972 against Oakland in the immaculate reception game....they were eliminate the next week but came back in 73 to win the SB and then 3 more for a total of 4 SBs in six years......

I remember through my childhood how the so so Brown's would routinely beat up the Steelers..........

The Browns will have their day...........

The turnaround for the Steelers was the drafting genius of coach Chuck Knoll who was hired in 1969........one person with the right decisions turned them from a joke into a dynasty. The question remains.........will the Browns ever hold on to a football genius long enough to let them work their magic into a dynasty?

I remember how bad the Steelers were. Buffalo had the Bills who were a part of the AFL but, before the merger in 1966, the Steelers would send buses to Buffalo early on game day to pick up people to go to the game and return them home after the games. I never met anyone who took one of those rides ever.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
