Long-term for what? We aren't a playoff team. Not like we are going to beat the Saints, Bucs, or Falcons for the South and we certainly won't win enough for a Wild Card.

 

Throw him out there so he can get his money on a decent contract elsewhere next year.

Long term for this season, as I stated earlier. You don’t know we’re not a playoff team.  I don’t know we are or aren’t a playoff team. No one does.  Sure we had some problems in week one, but it’s been ONE GAME. Ffs people need to stop with the sky is falling rhetoric.

Well, how about now? We have the Seahawks, Vikings, and Dolphins coming up. Where do you see a win there? 

If Tepper were interested in winning this year, and potentially long-term, he would've retained Wilks. Both of these games are games we would've won with him last year. 

But we have to "trust the process" of becoming the Steelers South in Year 5 of the Reign of Tepper. He wanted a QB to sell tickets, that's it. I personally believe he is the reason we took Young over Richardson or Stroud.

However, this is not what it the worst. We are potentially a Top 3 pick team, in a draft with Drake Maye and Caleb Williams, as well as Marvin Harrison Jr., and we sent our draft pick to the Bears, who may also be a Top 3 pick team. So not only will an NFC team be able to offloadd their deadweight at QB, they'll be able to draft the best of the QB's and a likely perennial All-Pro wide receiver.

The sky isn't falling. But you would expect to see a glimmer of good by now after three preseason games and two regular season games. The Texans and Colts have seen it with Stroud and Richardson while we are still here twiddling our thumbs. 

Last night was very Jimmy Clausen-esque.

A lotta mythologizing Steve ***** Wilkes in here. He was not good. He wasn’t a good DC, wasn’t a good HC. We got a morale boost at the end of the year last year because the cancer that was Rhule was finally excised, but Wilkes and his crew would have been far worse for this franchise long term. Reich isn’t looking too good right now through two games, but ffs if we can give Ron Shortbus Rivera nine years, we can give Reich more than two games.

    • Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.   
    • Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha. 
    • Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
