Im not the biggest tomlin fan, but the guy has 14 winning seasons out of 15.....That 15th one ended 8-8. Thats the stuff panthers fans dream of. Plus LOLOLOLOLOL at the " hes just riding cowhers players", for 15 years?????? my god. In this mess of a season hes 7-7!!! Hes the only person on earth able to control Abrown. 

Plus hes always had to deal with ravens each year. Then the bungals got borrow and browns finally got all those #1s and early draft picks to pay off. Much stiffer comp than the NFC south was. 

Come on huddle, this is 2023 panthers embarrassing.

Does this make Colbert, the guy you want, look bad too? He didn’t pick Pickens, but he did pick AB, and Rudolph. He also picked that receiver who used to give up on plays, Chase Claypool.

Hadn't looked at when they were drafted, but I know over the last several years Colbert and Tomlin weren't on the best of terms. The series of one year contracts Colbert took was partially because of a power struggle between them that Colbert ultimately lost.

Bottom line for me, though. The Steelers are a mess right now, and the receiver room seems to be a big part of it (not just Pickens).

That shocks me because I feel like in the past (hell, even just a couple of years ago) that sort of thing never would have been tolerated.

It was tolerated long before this batch of receivers came in. Colbert picked AB, and Tomlin was able to keep him under control for the most part. Claypool didn’t hustle, and that was a Colbert pick. Martavious Bryant was tolerated. Don’t even have to mention Rudolph and Big Ben.
 

Through all that, they kept winning. Colbert and Tomlin were able to keep the ship running. Colbert left, and Tomlin has still been able to keep the ship running. If you’re going to insinuate that you wouldn’t want Tomlin due to “lack of control”, then it’s fair to do the same with the architect of some of those Steeler teams; especially since there was troubles back then too.

I'd take Tomlin as long as we're not fuging short leashing him. Let him run his team. And give him more than a season to fix this poo show.

 

Tepper went from "we're gonna give Rhule 7 years" to "ok so he got a couple" to "Frank isn't getting a full season". At this rate, whoever the next coach is has 5 games to win or he's fired too

Tomlin walked into a good situation. Big Ben was already on the team. It's hard to say how much influence Tomlin really had on Pitts success. And it appears Tomlin and the Steelers will most likely not make the playoffs this year, which will put Tomlin at 0-3 without Ben. People can flex on how he still gets 9-wins every season, but those wins are meaningless. You play to win it all, not just for a winning record. Just like our 15-1 season. It didn't mean Jack in the end because we lost in the SB. 

I wouldn't be totally against Tomlin, but I just don't know if he's legit or not, and if he's past his prime. As a HC, at least.

At this point, I would take just being relevant again , and looking forward to Sundays again 

Even Mediocrity sounds good when you are at the bottom

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
