Sam Mills III tasked with game management duties

Recommended Posts

I'm starting to wonder if we have an owner that doesn't know anything about football. He has done great stuff to get fans excited but to keep this coaching staff after all that's went on and Ron comes out and says he is struggling is freaking ridiculous. People saying huddle is going to huddle must have no understanding of what we have pretty much went through for 25 years. Mediocre at best except for two super bowl trips and no back to back winning seasons ever. SMDH

Tepper has been part of Steelers organization many years so it does indicate he knows more football than you think or know about. Tepper is putting his plan together and will take time.

It's clear that this new position was forced on Ron by Tepper. Ron felt a little insecure by it (and I don't blame him, anyone would in his spot), so he picked the definition of a Company Man that Ron is very comfortable with and would never feel threatened by. That sounds negative, but I don't think it is, I think SMIII is more than capable.

I honestly could care less what Ron thinks at this point. He has had 8 years to get his head out his ass. Tough break.

Tepper has already spoken about that.  He was very much on the business side, not the operations/football side.

a number of teams have positions like this. letting one guy pour all his concentration into on-the-spot replay analysis and clock management is a wide allocation of resources and frankly should've been done years ago.

Plenty of other head coaches have managed with success currently and historically. It's an indictment on Rivera's abilities just like the defense takeover is on Washington's.

We all bitched about it being a problem. They address the problem and you guys bitch about their solution. Ron Rivera is a really good coach with some glaring deficiencies. They've addressed one of the big ones now. Who did you guys want in his place? What candidates for Game Clock Watcher are hot right now that we've ignored? Jesus. 

Yup we need a safety they re sign Eric Reid and it turns into 30+ pages of bitching about the contract.

RR has some holes hes trying to address them.

Not good enough 

This is just a cess pool of non stop bitching

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
