The Titans have something to work with though. Levis certainly looks better than Tannehill and Mike's better than Willis. They just need to focus on developing him the rest of the season to try to figure out if he's their guy moving forward or if they need to be looking QB early again.

Yeah he has shades of Darnold. Good arm, you can script some stuff with him and he'll make some good throws but there will be picks

It’s crazy how consistent Mike Tomlin is. 

It is. Pickett is not good but they are 5-3. It’s like smoke and mirrors but they always keep games close and always seem to have a good enough D. Roethlisberger became a shell of himself and Pickett has not been a top QB but he still hasn’t gone below .500. He’s pretty impressive. The only knock right now is that he doesn’t have the offensive talent, which is why they only have one “good” season in the last 6 years. They did sneak a second time into the playoffs but that was more due to Lamar getting hurt. They haven’t won a playoff game since 2016. They’ve been competitive but that drop at the QB spot (and WR) has kept them from being contenders. It’ll be interesting how long the keep with Pickett.

I can see the Steelers targeting a guy like Jayden Daniels this next draft.  They need to go for the boom/bust type at QB. 

The post-Ben era has been a lot of guys who have super apparent, limited skillsets and meh ceilings.  Rudolph, Trubisky, Pickett, time for them to take a gamble at QB.

Pickett ain't it. That's for sure. Hell, that was for sure when he was playing in college at Pitt. I have no idea how the Steelers deluded themselves into that blunder. They've been so good for so long by avoiding dumbass mistakes like that.

That's a crazy stat.

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/steelers-are-5-3-despite-having-fewer-yards-than-opponent-every-week-this-season

Through 8 games, the Steelers have been out gained in yardage 8 times yet they're 5-3.

16 straight seasons without a losing record isn't luck.  Mike Tomlin frankly still doesn't get the proper respect he deserves in Pittsburgh.

If they had drafted a certain guy who is 6th in the league in passing yards and passing TDs like I thought they were going to they're probably legit contenders.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
