This video is a great example for why Tom Brady was so great. People forgot that he took massive pay cuts throughout his time in New England so that they can stay Super Bowl contenders for as long as they did.
That and the multiple cheating scandals and lying to Federal investigators. Dude was great, no doubts there, but we really shouldn't label some chump like that the GOAT. No one asked me, but if they had the GOAT would be Drew Brees. 2nd in the counting stats and had to deal with injury adversity because the League didn't protect him like it did Tom Brady.
@@SneakySnake133 Completely agreed. We all know Mahomes is on another level. But the wide receivers are absolute garbage. how can you ask players like Tyreek Hill to take a paycut just to build a legacy when the QB who is making more than double the next best paid player on the team is not going to. Sure Mahomes is worth the money but then you have to think of the salary cap.
Don’t forget the 49ers were 1 overthrown pass away from winning 1 SB and a 1 dropped INT away from another appearance. The same team that blew it on the #3 pick twice in 4yrs. A team whose defensive gurus in Saleh and Ryan got nothing out of 1st #3 pick Thomas but turned a 3rd round pick into one of the best LB’s in football. Also a team whose “QB whisperer” of a head coach got nothing out of #3 pick Lance but has turned “Mr Irrelevant” into a legit MVP candidate.
LOL trash... shanahan and lynch are building the culture that will be the blueprint in the modern era. They've turned so many mid / late round picks into superstars
@@seankent7282see the Baltimore Ravens Organization for the last 25 years. Talking about making mid round and late round picks stars. Yeah. That franchise makes undrafted free agents Pro Bowlers. Mid round guys elite stars. And in some cases guys have HOF type careers. The Ravens organization has mad a living developing players drafted in the middle to late rounds. At every position except WR. This season the Ravens leading in sacks 3rd round pick. League leader in int is a 7th round pick. Both running backs UDA’s Not to mention gems they’ve drafted and developed who are great on other teams. Mark Andrews was a mid round pick. I respect those guys in SF Good for them But the Ravens organization under Ozzie and now EDC have been great at this for two and half decades
That’s what makes the NFL great, the amount of parity. Any team can beat any team on any given day. Teams can go from bottom 5, to the playoffs in just a couple years. If you want to see the same few team winning every year, watch CFB.
"any given Sunday" is why I love football so much, there's rarely a game that's not worth tuning into, at least from a competitive standpoint. Just look at my Pats beating the Bills this year lol. The best and worst NFL teams are not nearly as far apart as the best and worst college teams, even just looking within D1 conferences
Couldn't agree more! Was a european soccer fan for decades, but got so sick of money ruling everything and always the same rich clubs winning it all, some even sponsored by some arabian countries doing sportswashing. Disgusting af! Parity is one of the best things in the NFL!
@@camerone397 Parity-all teams being equal(i.e, saying the Carolina & SF would be a toss up if they played). Parody, a shitty team can beat a great team on any given sunday(i.e. Carolina actually beating SF), significance to context, so yep.
The Panther's regression this season is so bad that, coupled with poor management and roster choices, we will be lucky to be truly competitive until 2026
It's so bad bro. I'm repping Carolina til forever, but it's rough to watch rn. We absolutely have to draft better, that's first and foremost. For free agency, get the best Guard, LG or RG, that we possibly can to start.
Yea man... it's looking bad for them. Understandable if they were a few positions away from competing.... this team was a rebuild and they sold the farm system for QB who wont live up to his potential bcuz he doesnt have a great Oline nor 2 outside threats
@@majorpaine89 imo we need a good guard or center in the draft, maybe with pick 33, and then a FA WR. There is good wr depth in the draft so drafting a 3rd or 4th rounder won't be bad either
Because teams have stopped investing and developing players and instead process them through, chew them up, and spit them out after a year or two to another team, lather rinse, repeat. and or QBs demanding these overinflated contracts that skew the market while RBs can't get the time of day.
Elite QBs should rightly be paid 50+ mil a year. But mediocre to above average QBs getting paid 40 mil a year is a travesty. They shouldn't be getting more than 30-35
@@kimyona9746 So, a great guy is worth 50+ mil, but a mediocre one is worth 30 mil a year? Ok Sir, I'm applying for the mediocre position right away, where do I sign ?
I like how young people are just now figuring out that a lot of success in the NFL is sheer dumb luck, and a lot of failure is a result of administrative incompetence, then they run to interwebs to inform the world of this revolutionary finding lol. The most talented team rarely wins the Superbowl. Talent helps, but it takes a lot of luck and mental fortitude to get it done.
If you invest into so many things etc., winning the SB is hardly luck. Sure, there is always some luck involved but to call it "sheer dumb luck" just shows your incompetence. There´s a reason why certain teams are regular division winners and playoff contenders. Brady and the Pats/Bucs did not go to SBs because of "sheer dumb luck", neither did the Chiefs under Mahomes.
The FA/Salary Cap era has made it a real balancing act in keeping a competitive roster, which is why having a great GM is almost more important than having a great coach for having a consistent winner. You have to analyze the roster constantly. Make decisions on who to keep, who to let go, and when you do let players go, have a plan on how to replace them. Course, maybe you don't want to be a consistent winner, when the best players tend to be at the top of the draft. Also, sometimes you know it is time and make the bold move to mortgage the future for a Super Bowl run, like the Rams did a couple of years ago. Course, if you are fortunate enough to luck into having Tom Brady on your team (or Patrick Mahomes), then you are likely to be a perennial contender no matter what the roster looks like.
The profit motive kills everything. Players wanting more money, teams wanting to save money... they are directly opposed to each other, so it's impossible to create a true "team".
@@Michael-yb7jh And guess what players dont want to live on poverty wages either. Enjoy the possibility that the superbowl winning team will be garbage next year.
that can't work because there isn't as much teams involved in the whole scheme of things. and if we do that then we might as well get rid of gms because teambuilding would just turn into, get the best guy from every position@@wigglyk2796
When you realize when the lions are on, they can go toe to toe with anyone, but so far this year they’ve only been “on” for one full game and that’s The first GB game
I dont know, i feel like they were "on" for the Cheifs game too. No major slip ups, gutsy play calls that worked, etc. And don't give me "They didnt have Kelce and Jones" because they have since lost games with those players to team's they should have beat (Broncos, Packers)
I'm really confused on how this narrative of HAVING to win during your QB's rookie contract got ahold of everybody considering NONE of the last 10 Suoerbowl winning QBs were on a rookie scale deal. ZERO. Why is it so important to do this again when literally NO team has had success with it??? Where's the justification???
@@BobectorGamesBobector you might be right about that and I could be wrong about Pat (and I do think you are right)but even so, that's 1 Generationally prolific quarterback out of the last 10 years who also already had the fastest WR in the league and the best TE in NFL history. The Math doesn't add up for me.
As a Steelers fan it’s extremely frustrating watching them, KP isn’t the guy he can’t read the field and has no arm I say do what you can do get Herbert now, outside a top tier qb they will be 9-8 forever…
@eduardoalamo1240 - It's crazy to me, it feels like people defend him and accuse others of racism just because they don't like mediocrity. He isn't taking them anywhere, and fans shouldn't be happy with .500 seasons year after year. It's been long enough, he needs to go of they ever hope to make it to the super bowl again.
@@DarthVader-if9kr True -- back when Brady was with the Patriots, the Jets/Bills/Dolphins would be turning over their GM/coaching staffs every 3-5 years because they couldn't get ahead of the Patriots, which led to those teams being more unstable, which led to the Patriots continuing to dominate. It's pretty rare to see two good coaches stay in the same division (Jim Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin are a notable exception) and be comparably competitive over a long period of time.
Good tactical choice along with the tactical defensive mind to oversee the consistency. Besides it *IS* much more difficult for wildcard teams to make that push to the championship game unless they drastically change a part of their game from being just trying to get in to being world beaters. The bye for having the best record in the conference is a useful tactical advantage to possibly bypass bad matchups in January.
The best thing an organization can do to increase their chances of winning over a long period of time is to make sure you have long term people in your building who can develop your young rookies/talent over time…I can’t stress how GAMECHANGING THIS WOULD BE…develop people on the practice squad n such
Agree. See the Baltimore Ravens organization. They have done the same things consistently for decades. While fans don’t think of the Ravens as dynastic, and they aren’t close. But they have been consistent winners for years. The last 25 seasons the Baltimore Ravens have had only 5 losing seasons. As a fan of the Ravens, i will attest that every losing season the team was consistently competitive, even the few occasions that they had double digit losses. They lost their starting quarterback for the season. The Steelers also have won consistently. However, the Ravens standard has moved into a new era. Fans don’t understand that the two seasons Lamar was injured the Ravens were at the top of the conference. IMO The Baltimore Ravens are the model of consistency, and have shown the ability to adapt and remain true to its brand and culture. The team has always valued their draft picks, and have done well with player development. Especially in the middle ro late rounds. Some guys don’t resign and go on to greener pastures, which is understandable, but somehow year after year the Ravens develop guys and when those mid round prospects have developed into good NFL players and the Ravens can’t resign, they already have a player that is in the wings. Matt Judon Z’Darius Smith Darren Waller Mid to late round gems. so many others On this team. Guys who’ve played their way to bigger contracts. Some will leave. Now the Ravens have missed on some guys, and EDC likes gambling on injured talents. But they have always excelled at mid to late round guys and undrafted free agents. The culture is unmatched. I am hopeful that this version with Lamar can get #3 for the organization. Through all the pivots in the game of football the last 25 years. The Ravens have been winning 80% of the time and competitive 100% of the time. Check the history
I know the league values the QB highly but as we've seen the inconsistency play this year i predict a more investment in the oline and running game. Especially now with more atheltic dline players coming out
This year is showing how dangerous it is to put so much money into QBs, even if they are the most important position. Only team it’s worked out for is the Ravens this year. I think QB pay has hit a ceiling for the most part, probably will even go down to invest in o-line and d-line.
Agreed. A good offensive line and be can make any qb a superstar. From 2019-2021 the Titans did just that, and got pretty damn close to winning a superbowl twice because of it.
Players that care more about money-making and ego-boosting than supporting their team, coachs that can't coach very well, GMs overpaying QBs and bad refs. That's why winning is so hard. Nowadays winning is about having luck and/or having the NFL's poster boy QB on your side.
I know it’s risky but I feel like the Steelers have to take a big risk this off season and risk potentially being in the dumps for a while. We have amazing talent on D but we are stagnant and there needs to be something big happening and with this next draft class being big I think they should really try and trade upwards to get a good quarterback. Kenny adjust doesn’t hack it and I think at most at this point he can be a below avergae starter
Tomlin doesn't help much, just this last sunday's loss to the Card's is just another in a long line of losing gimme games. They didn't only lose, they got dominated by a 2 win team at home, pathetic. Ryans in Houston & Steichen in Indy are doing more with less.
@@chizorama To be fair with Kyler back the Cards are far from a 2 win team. At worse Kyler won 4 games last season only playing 11 games before getting injured and being out the rest of the season. The funny deal with Tomlin seems like he can take this type of team he helped build, slap a Duck or a Reindeer (Mason Rudolph) as the QB and try to get over .500. The problem is the process of how the team is built (staff, talents) is why the highest floor of the team is only a 9-11 win team in a tough AFC North and will probably flame out in the playoffs.
Imagine playing defense where you can’t touch the QB or you’ll get a flag, can’t touch the wideouts cuz you’ll get flagged. Every defensive penalty results in a automatic first down for the offense except neutral zone infractions
As a steelers fan, I truly dont know what to do with kenny. Yeah, after 25 starts, you should get what you got with your QB, but we don't know what to do, I honestly would love to look for other QB, but in a perfect world would love to see Kenny grow as the successor of Big ben
The question you have to ask yourself is what's Kenny's ceiling? In his *best* games he's looked like a competent but middling quarterback. His worst games are horrific. People are looking at Kenny with the trauma of passing up on Dan Marino. Kenny's *not* Marino, and I think we've got a good idea of who he is.
Great players retired nearly the same time and those that are left have teammates that are still adjusting to the NFL. Injuries plus inexperience have a heavy influence right now
You took literally worst case scenario on every single thing about the Bills. They lost their 3 best defensive players this season in Milano, Daquan Jones, and Tre White. Do I think they are a realistic SB contender this season? No, but they have Josh Allen. And their future actually looks pretty bright imo. Kincaid, Cook, Shakir, Bernard, Taron Johnson, Ed Oliver, Christian Benford, and Greg Rousseau are all promising young players. Lastly, I do not think they are dumping both Poyer and Hyde this offseason. Just my opinion on these things.
The Buffalo Bills are inconsistent, and that includes Josh Allen. One game, Josh could throw 4 TD, the next 3 INT. It will be interesting to see what happens on Sunday vs. the Chiefs.
Every Super Bowl champion has an exception to the "age" idea as that's the player that's able to make up for the several other obstacles during the season directly and indirectly
I actually love how low scoring and difficult games have been this year. Feels like every point matters. And there are quite a few contenders, but there’s not a single clear front runner or team that I can confidently say is going to get to the SB. An exciting season is unfurling before us.
The 2000's-mid 2010's had a lot of good QBs..... We are now in an era similar to the 70's/early 80's, when 2/3 of the teams in the league struggled to establish a consistent starting QB.
It’s nice when defenses are actually good and the opposing offense is good. Those are good low scoring games. This yr the offenses are decent and defenses are hindered by penalties. Penalties that help a offense who still can’t score. The games have been below avg imo
Who's gonna be the Bills' #2 receiving threat? Uhhhh......have you seen Dalton Kincaid?? This kid is gonna be used like Greg Olsen used to be once he develops more into his 2nd/3rd seasons. Keep your eye on this kid.
00:09:40 Browns fan in a Mixed Market. I keep hearing from multiple friends who follow Pittsburgh that Ben used to outright ignore Canada and call plays on his own. If that's true, i'd be willing to give Pickett another season and a half to develop. Like what a dire situation for a rookie qb to be led by a OC who couldn't even get on the same page to work with their veteran qb.
The Steelers should trade a first round pick to Carolina for Bryce Young. Young will wither and die in Carolina and be worthless as a NFL Caliber player if forced to play for the Panthers another year. Give Carolina Pickett AND A First Round pick, make it too tempting not to trade him.
As a Steelers fan, the most important step is for Omar Kahn to get an innovated OC without Allowing Tomlin to be involved in the decision whatsoever, he has an egregious history of hiring yes men and not holding them accountable for anything. Give that OC full control of the offense, don’t let Tomlin micromanage the offense whatsoever and let him know he’s on the hot seat if he doesn’t get his shit together. Then in the off-season invest in one high quality IOL and draft a tackle in the first two rounds. If a good QB ends up on the trade block and isn’t absurdly expensive go grab him, or if one of the qbs in the draft falls within five picks of their slot, trade up. Otherwise keep Pickett, give him a shot with a real OC and have a contending roster ready to trade up in the 2025 when less teams will be looking for a qb.
The odds of winning the Super Bowl are 1 of 32 and that's true no matter what era that includes 32 teams. It was slightly easier when the league had 28 teams, but only because it had less teams. Everything that the typical team has to deal with in today's NFL, their opponents have to as well. It was more possible to have a stacked roster before the salary cap, but then you had to play against and beat teams that had stacked rosters. No matter how hard or easy it gets, there is always exactly one Super Bowl winner.
here is a big what if. Mind you I am not a Steelers fan at all. But the Bears will almost certainly have the number one pick. They fire the HC (sorry but he was a mistake hire from the beginning) and draft a new QB. They then trade Fields to the Steelers. Do I think Fields is a great QB? Far from it BUT he would be a pretty big upgrade in Pittsburg. Thoughts anyone?
With these new Defensive Ends and gigantic QB contracts we are almost never gonna see a fully complete NFL team again. It comes to the point where many teams window to win is strictly when their Pro-Bowl QB is still on a rookie contract.
This is exactly why I hate when they compare steel ⚒️ workers & cole 👷🏾♂️ minors who worked 6 days a week and played games on Sunday afternoons in the 1930's to world class athletes who have been training to play this sport since they were 6/7.
Ain't no WAAAY the Panthers goal was a superbowl. I don't even think the Texans or Bears had that goal. Like only 16 teams thought that maybe 24 who are delusional. Not all 32
Super Bowl or bust teams going into 2023: Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, Dolphins, Bengals, 49ers, Eagles, Lions, Cowboys, Seahawks. Everyone else can hope but THEY know they're too far away for that to be reasonable. Jaguars and Browns maybe????? Whole NFC South should quit
I think this video isn’t factoring in some things with the Bills, like sure they’re talented, but their talent isn’t performing how it should. Let’s not forget the biggest reason they lost to the Jets is cause Allen was throwing up ducks to the defense every 5 plays or so. It wasn’t just unlucky, he played poorly.
Pay the offense. Specifically, pay the QB, then the OL (LT and C), then one elite pass-catcher. Fill in the rest as you can. Build the defense young, hungry, and cheap, cheap being the key, and accept whatever happens there. Keeping your QB healthy and efficient is 90%+ of the battle. But you need coaches that can elevate talent and you need to draft competently.
When a lot of teams adopt that strategy, those positions end up being overpaid and harder to find talent at, and then eventually it will stop being the ideal strategy.
@@Zoetherat QBs, LTs, and WRs are already 'overpaid', and this is still the best strategy for long-term success. Just because everyone is trying to implement this strategy, doesn't mean they're succeeding.
@@Zoetherat He's not wrong though. As a Vikings fan, I've seen recently what happens when the OL or DL aren't up to snuff. You need pash rushers to punish opponent's QBs and Oline and you need a good passing attack to win tough games. Sure, other teams are trying to get the same positions, but that's where creativity comes into play. It's what makes building a roster so much fun after all.
We need a QB for starters and we need a redefined O-line aside from our rookie Broderick jones which by the way as a ROOKIE is our highest graded line man on the team that oh and on top of that also an OC the favorite from what I have heard is Byron leftwich which isn’t terrible but but I think there is better options out there that we can look to acquire such as the O-line and run coordinator from the 49ers that’s my take on the Steelers. It sucks that we do genuinely have talent on our team but it’s just a waste smh oh well maybe next year lol
So remember kids, use something only as long as it is useful to you, and then immediately discard it when it even appears like it might lose that usefulness! Remember, even other people are disposable 👍🏻
Steelers fan here: think we should give kenny another year and spend on free agency. Feel like we owe it to him since canada was genuinely holding him back. But as a fan id love to trade kenny and multiple picks for herbert if the chargers decide to blow it up
Serious question though, would you take a chance on Cousins if you could get him? Most likely he’s re-signing in MN, but if he were available, he’d be a massive upgrade on Pickett.
you need to do an episode where you worship the Browns who somehow found a way to overpay a player at nearly every level and still not go over the salary cap. I mean they have a QB, RB, WR, OL, DE. CB all making top dollar. No other team has that.
We are undervaluing how much luck plays a role in determining who wins the super bowl. The best case scenario for a team is they might have a 30% chance of winning the super bowl, and that's only if they have a super roster and the rest of the league isn't good. You have to win like 3-4 games in a row against the best teams in the nfl in order to win the super bowl. Even if you're the best team in the league and have like a 66% chance of winning each game (which is insanely high) on average and you're the #1 seed, you have like a 28% chance of winning the super bowl. Almost 3/4 times a team who isn't as good as you will win it all in that scenario. Winning the super bowl isn't about being the best team for 1 year, it's about being good enough to compete for enough years that eventually the stars will align and you'll win a few times.
In my opinion the only way to win a Super Bowl in this modern era is to rather have a QB on their rookie contract or have a QB that takes less money. Also it’s obvious but you need a Good o line aswell
The NFL salary cap is 30 years in. And it’s done precisely what it’s supposed to do. A more level playing field for every team. Depth is more important than ever. You can’t lose a star player to injury, and not have another one that can step up and do the job. This is why the Patriots were what they were for so long (no it wasn’t cheating). Instead of putting your whole season on the backs of a few premiere players, you need a full roster of solid “football smart” hard working guys that play mistake free football. When one player and his agent sit down to dinner, and eat the entire turkey themselves, don’t complain when you get a bellyache! 😂
As several people have pointed out, the Patriots did it during this era of parity. Part of it was having Brady, sure. However, that was only part of it.
@@freepeople091 I mean... sure, it's the biggest part. Quarterback is the most important position after all. However, on it's own, it's no where near good enough. The Colts only got 1 superbowl with Peyton Manning, the Saints only got 1 with Drew Brees, and the Packers only got 1 with Aaron Rodgers. All those quarterbacks are in the same league as Tom. Also, the Bucs got Tom when they already had a loaded team, and they only competed for a superbowl for two years before regressing. The Patriots, by contrast, had a 17 year stretch where they played in 9 superbowls (half of them) and won 6 (one third of them). They didn't do that just because of Tom.
As a Steelers fan there’s nothing more that I’d love than to move off KP. However we’re too deep into the draft to select a viable qb. There’s a chance that penix drops considerably due to medicals but it’s unrealistic to grab him in the second round. Let’s just say I’ll be scouting 2025 college QBs early this year.
Although you didn't explicitly mention the Eagles in the video, since Hurts was on the thumbnail I do want to give a few words on them. This is the last year before Hurts' massive extension comes in, but Howie Roseman was able to tinker around and make the first few years of it not as bad as you'd expect. Obviously we've got our 1-2 receiver punch with AJ and DeVonta, the former Howie re-signed immediately upon getting him and the latter will be in extension talks very soon. As for our offensive line, which has widely been regarded the best in the league, you hear every year about whether or not Jason Kelce will ultimately call it a career, and he literally said that losing the Super Bowl played a factor in his decision to return. Lane Johnson you feel like is not much longer for the league either, and he's been a big deal for us. We'll be left wondering if pieces like Cam Jurgens, Tyler Steen and Jack Driscoll can take over adequately. The biggest issue right now, if you haven't already figured out, is that our secondary is practically nonexistent. We had all the pieces last year and basically none this time around without CJGJ, Maddox, TJ Edwards, etcetera. Although there are plenty of pieces Howie deserves praise for being able to get as of late, his drafting secondary pieces has left something to be desired. Regardless of whether they get it together and we do in fact win it all this year or not, I'm hoping that Howie takes some defensive pieces early on, but we're not a franchise known for getting linebackers early. We'll see just what good Darius Leonard can do for us. And it doesn't help that people are not exactly liking the new coordinators. Reuben Frank, our longtime Eagles writer, has put out multiple pieces defending the OC, telling us what we've been getting wrong there and telling us we should stop firing Brian Johnson because even with the questionable playcalls, we're still one of the better offenses in the league, and you wouldn't know that without looking it up. As for Sean Desai, one minute Eagles Twitter will say he's no better than Jonathan Gannon, the next they'll say he's better than Gannon ever was. He's tried to get what he can out of the constantly rotating talent he's had, and it hasn't always worked out. Even though the roster turnover will have to be fluctuating frequently, with someone like Jalen Hurts manning this team, and a creative GM like Howie Roseman who has gotten more aggressive than ever as of late, I do believe that Hurts will get his redemption before all is said and done. There's too much talent on this team not to.
Well, it's certainly possible for some teams. Every year a Superbowl is played and a winner is declared. Maybe the word Impossible is not the right choice, but extremely difficult would be better.
Not a Steelers fan, but a Colts fan. But my twin brother is a die hard Steelers fan to the point I've seen more Steelers games in my life than my own team. I think Kirk Cousins is a guy I would keep my eyes on if I were the Steelers, I think they are a bit more than just a quarterback away but not much, I think a guy like Cousins would immensely elevate the play of Pickens, Johnson, Friarmueth. That being said I don't think Kenny is the answer, however I do hate the direction the league has gone in terms of having patience developing a franchise quarterback, with the way the league works now and wanting to win on cheap deals at QB if it doesn't work right away you just cast a guy like a Zach Wilson or a Pickett away after 2-3 years. So many legends of the game from Bradshaw, to Geno Smith didn't succeed to the standard they would go into this quick. But also Pickett just doesn't seem to be it, I think going with Kirk Cousins in the off-season and try to lure him to Pittsburgh is the way to go.
The salary cap is what really makes it hard for teams to be dominate consistently. Every roster has world class players and can beat you any given sunday
i want the Steelers to either do the rams "f the picks" and trade for a QB or draft jayden Daniels. let Kenny play for his job like they did with drew brees when he was with the chargers. im so tired of watching terrible QB play.
Cool stat, there are (almost) the same amount of TOTAL wins in each of the 17 game seasons. Almost, only because of the few ties. Winning, is gonna happen by one team or another 99% of the time. So to word it as winning being almost impossible..... 🤨 As for the Steelers, they have all the talent there. All have proven it multiple times, the ability to win under pressure. I'd take that anyway over most other teams. WhateverTF happened against the Cardinals, THEY HAVE to figure that out. Kenny going down, sucked. I don't worry about his ability to throw accurately, I worry not about the durability at this point. This O Line has been ATROCIOUS by the Pitt standard for fout year's now!
Steelers fan. Trubisky's contract is up this year. Mitch and Mason Rudolph will be gone. Steelers will probably look at drafting a later round QB and signing a vet backup to compete with Pickett. I still believe in Pickett. Canada being gone is great, but coaching is still a big issue. We are no longer in a Manning, Brady, Brees league. Having a consistent game manager is more than ok as long as other key pieces are in place.
As a Steelers fan, Kenny deserves as much blame as Matt Canada. He does miss some very rudimentary NFL balls and is closer to mediocre than elite. If I were Khan, I would sign kirk/fields or draft a QB in a loaded class. After last years incredible offseason, I believe in the Khan artist and have all the faith that he’ll swindle us into another dynasty 💪
Buffalo couldn'tve won that jet game. They needed nothing on the jets offense to win. Healthy bills couldn't get it done even vs an unprepared jet team.
Steelers fan here: you let Kenny play his third season next year. If it doesn’t work out, you either draft a QB in 2025 or wait until 2026 when you can trade up for Manning.
I figured out the truth of this video a long time ago, which begs the question: how the hell did the Patriots manage to sustain their success for close to 20 years?
This video is a great example for why Tom Brady was so great. People forgot that he took massive pay cuts throughout his time in New England so that they can stay Super Bowl contenders for as long as they did.
So Brady was great… because he took less money? LOL

Mid round guys elite stars. And in some cases guys have HOF type careers. The Ravens organization has mad a living developing players drafted in the middle to late rounds. At every position except WR.
This season the Ravens leading in sacks 3rd round pick. League leader in int is a 7th round pick.

@@Travolta12e That's such a silly statement. Like fan bases are all so different. Let me guess, the team you like, the fans are all so rational.
That’s what makes the NFL great, the amount of parity. Any team can beat any team on any given day. Teams can go from bottom 5, to the playoffs in just a couple years. If you want to see the same few team winning every year, watch CFB.
"any given Sunday" is why I love football so much, there's rarely a game that's not worth tuning into, at least from a competitive standpoint. Just look at my Pats beating the Bills this year lol. The best and worst NFL teams are not nearly as far apart as the best and worst college teams, even just looking within D1 conferences
Couldn't agree more! Was a european soccer fan for decades, but got so sick of money ruling everything and always the same rich clubs winning it all, some even sponsored by some arabian countries doing sportswashing. Disgusting af! Parity is one of the best things in the NFL!

And even if they win, it is close to impossible to build a dynasty today due to salary cap
If you invest into so many things etc., winning the SB is hardly luck. Sure, there is always some luck involved but to call it "sheer dumb luck" just shows your incompetence. There´s a reason why certain teams are regular division winners and playoff contenders. Brady and the Pats/Bucs did not go to SBs because of "sheer dumb luck", neither did the Chiefs under Mahomes.
@@justinharper6909the refs lol
That's not just in the NFL. Pretty much true for life 😂
The FA/Salary Cap era has made it a real balancing act in keeping a competitive roster, which is why having a great GM is almost more important than having a great coach for having a consistent winner. You have to analyze the roster constantly. Make decisions on who to keep, who to let go, and when you do let players go, have a plan on how to replace them.
Course, maybe you don't want to be a consistent winner, when the best players tend to be at the top of the draft. Also, sometimes you know it is time and make the bold move to mortgage the future for a Super Bowl run, like the Rams did a couple of years ago.
Course, if you are fortunate enough to luck into having Tom Brady on your team (or Patrick Mahomes), then you are likely to be a perennial contender no matter what the roster looks like.
The profit motive kills everything. Players wanting more money, teams wanting to save money... they are directly opposed to each other, so it's impossible to create a true "team".
Nah, the salary cap welfare for poor teams is the real issue. They should remove the salary cap and make it similar to UEFA or English premier league.

Only five QBs have won a super bowl in the last 9 years
🤔
I'm really confused on how this narrative of HAVING to win during your QB's rookie contract got ahold of everybody considering NONE of the last 10 Suoerbowl winning QBs were on a rookie scale deal. ZERO. Why is it so important to do this again when literally NO team has had success with it??? Where's the justification???
To be fair like half of them were Brady on team friendly deals lol, but I see your point
@@Michael-yb7jh I mean, you're right but a team friendly deal is still miles away from a rookie scale contract. They're not even close.

The Math doesn't add up for me.
As a Steelers fan it’s extremely frustrating watching them, KP isn’t the guy he can’t read the field and has no arm I say do what you can do get Herbert now, outside a top tier qb they will be 9-8 forever…
My dad has been clamoring for Mike Tomlin to be fired for years because they aren't going anywhere with him other than "we'll play better next game".
Y’all not getting Herbert bro 😂
If we can’t trade for a qb, then we should just stick with Kenny for one more year.
@eduardoalamo1240 - It's crazy to me, it feels like people defend him and accuse others of racism just because they don't like mediocrity. He isn't taking them anywhere, and fans shouldn't be happy with .500 seasons year after year. It's been long enough, he needs to go of they ever hope to make it to the super bowl again.
Tom Brady: "It's a lot easier when your division is so bad that it guarantees you a division title for nearly 20 years."
I mean Brady made that division tough. Plus everyone knows him more for his clutch moments in the playoffs than in the regular season lol
He still won in the playoffs. This argument is tired and dumb
@@DarthVader-if9kr True -- back when Brady was with the Patriots, the Jets/Bills/Dolphins would be turning over their GM/coaching staffs every 3-5 years because they couldn't get ahead of the Patriots, which led to those teams being more unstable, which led to the Patriots continuing to dominate. It's pretty rare to see two good coaches stay in the same division (Jim Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin are a notable exception) and be comparably competitive over a long period of time.
He also never took the most money
Good tactical choice along with the tactical defensive mind to oversee the consistency. Besides it *IS* much more difficult for wildcard teams to make that push to the championship game unless they drastically change a part of their game from being just trying to get in to being world beaters. The bye for having the best record in the conference is a useful tactical advantage to possibly bypass bad matchups in January.

You can't develop your young talent on the practice squad. because some team would just sign them off your practice squad.

Agree. See the Baltimore Ravens organization. They have done the same things consistently for decades. While fans don’t think of the Ravens as dynastic, and they aren’t close. But they have been consistent winners for years. The last 25 seasons the Baltimore Ravens have had only 5 losing seasons.
As a fan of the Ravens, i will attest that every losing season the team was consistently competitive, even the few occasions that they had double digit losses.
They lost their starting quarterback for the season.
The Steelers also have won consistently.
However, the Ravens standard has moved into a new era.
Fans don’t understand that the two seasons Lamar was injured the Ravens were at the top of the conference.
IMO The Baltimore Ravens are the model of consistency, and have shown the ability to adapt and remain true to its brand and culture.
The team has always valued their draft picks, and have done well with player development. Especially in the middle ro late rounds. Some guys don’t resign and go on to greener pastures, which is understandable, but somehow year after year the Ravens develop guys and when those mid round prospects have developed into good NFL players and the Ravens can’t resign, they already have a player that is in the wings.
Matt Judon
Z’Darius Smith
Darren Waller
Mid to late round gems.
so many others
On this team. Guys who’ve played their way to bigger contracts.
Some will leave.
Now the Ravens have missed on some guys, and EDC likes gambling on injured talents.
But they have always excelled at mid to late round guys and undrafted free agents.
The culture is unmatched.
I am hopeful that this version with Lamar can get #3 for the organization.
Through all the pivots in the game of football the last 25 years. The Ravens have been winning 80% of the time and competitive 100% of the time.
Check the history
I know the league values the QB highly but as we've seen the inconsistency play this year i predict a more investment in the oline and running game. Especially now with more atheltic dline players coming out
This year is showing how dangerous it is to put so much money into QBs, even if they are the most important position. Only team it’s worked out for is the Ravens this year. I think QB pay has hit a ceiling for the most part, probably will even go down to invest in o-line and d-line.
Agreed. A good offensive line and be can make any qb a superstar. From 2019-2021 the Titans did just that, and got pretty damn close to winning a superbowl twice because of it.
The only thing with the 9ers is, they need to start hitting on the draft because for the last 2 years they haven’t been hitting on the higher picks
Players that care more about money-making and ego-boosting than supporting their team, coachs that can't coach very well, GMs overpaying QBs and bad refs. That's why winning is so hard. Nowadays winning is about having luck and/or having the NFL's poster boy QB on your side.
It’s all’s about money
I know it’s risky but I feel like the Steelers have to take a big risk this off season and risk potentially being in the dumps for a while. We have amazing talent on D but we are stagnant and there needs to be something big happening and with this next draft class being big I think they should really try and trade upwards to get a good quarterback. Kenny adjust doesn’t hack it and I think at most at this point he can be a below avergae starter
Tomlin doesn't help much, just this last sunday's loss to the Card's is just another in a long line of losing gimme games. They didn't only lose, they got dominated by a 2 win team at home, pathetic. Ryans in Houston & Steichen in Indy are doing more with less.
@@chizorama To be fair with Kyler back the Cards are far from a 2 win team. At worse Kyler won 4 games last season only playing 11 games before getting injured and being out the rest of the season. The funny deal with Tomlin seems like he can take this type of team he helped build, slap a Duck or a Reindeer (Mason Rudolph) as the QB and try to get over .500. The problem is the process of how the team is built (staff, talents) is why the highest floor of the team is only a 9-11 win team in a tough AFC North and will probably flame out in the playoffs.
"Who will be the WR2 for the Bills next year" Kincaid is right there
That’s why they drafted him, I hate that people act like the bills have no wrs
Kincaid looks like he will be really good. Still need a #2 WR though. Bills took this long to even draft Kincaid
Imagine playing defense where you can’t touch the QB or you’ll get a flag, can’t touch the wideouts cuz you’ll get flagged. Every defensive penalty results in a automatic first down for the offense except neutral zone infractions
As a steelers fan, I truly dont know what to do with kenny. Yeah, after 25 starts, you should get what you got with your QB, but we don't know what to do, I honestly would love to look for other QB, but in a perfect world would love to see Kenny grow as the successor of Big ben
The question you have to ask yourself is what's Kenny's ceiling? In his *best* games he's looked like a competent but middling quarterback. His worst games are horrific. People are looking at Kenny with the trauma of passing up on Dan Marino. Kenny's *not* Marino, and I think we've got a good idea of who he is.
Great players retired nearly the same time and those that are left have teammates that are still adjusting to the NFL. Injuries plus inexperience have a heavy influence right now
Old School NFL will always be better than New School NFL.
Easily. Its peewee WWE shit now
of course. you could tackle and block without getting a penalty.
No shit. Guys like Ray Lewis would be suspended in today’s NFL
You took literally worst case scenario on every single thing about the Bills. They lost their 3 best defensive players this season in Milano, Daquan Jones, and Tre White. Do I think they are a realistic SB contender this season? No, but they have Josh Allen. And their future actually looks pretty bright imo. Kincaid, Cook, Shakir, Bernard, Taron Johnson, Ed Oliver, Christian Benford, and Greg Rousseau are all promising young players. Lastly, I do not think they are dumping both Poyer and Hyde this offseason. Just my opinion on these things.
Ed Oliver is like a 5th year veteran
@@avacadomangobanana2588 He’s 25 years old.

Every Super Bowl champion has an exception to the "age" idea as that's the player that's able to make up for the several other obstacles during the season directly and indirectly
I actually love how low scoring and difficult games have been this year. Feels like every point matters. And there are quite a few contenders, but there’s not a single clear front runner or team that I can confidently say is going to get to the SB. An exciting season is unfurling before us.
The 2000's-mid 2010's had a lot of good QBs..... We are now in an era similar to the 70's/early 80's, when 2/3 of the teams in the league struggled to establish a consistent starting QB.
It’s nice when defenses are actually good and the opposing offense is good. Those are good low scoring games. This yr the offenses are decent and defenses are hindered by penalties. Penalties that help a offense who still can’t score. The games have been below avg imo
I don’t know, it seems pretty damn clear that the Ravens are the favourites to win it all.
Who's gonna be the Bills' #2 receiving threat? Uhhhh......have you seen Dalton Kincaid?? This kid is gonna be used like Greg Olsen used to be once he develops more into his 2nd/3rd seasons. Keep your eye on this kid.

Browns fan in a Mixed Market. I keep hearing from multiple friends who follow Pittsburgh that Ben used to outright ignore Canada and call plays on his own. If that's true, i'd be willing to give Pickett another season and a half to develop. Like what a dire situation for a rookie qb to be led by a OC who couldn't even get on the same page to work with their veteran qb.
The Steelers should trade a first round pick to Carolina for Bryce Young. Young will wither and die in Carolina and be worthless as a NFL Caliber player if forced to play for the Panthers another year. Give Carolina Pickett AND A First Round pick, make it too tempting not to trade him.
As a Steelers fan, the most important step is for Omar Kahn to get an innovated OC without Allowing Tomlin to be involved in the decision whatsoever, he has an egregious history of hiring yes men and not holding them accountable for anything. Give that OC full control of the offense, don’t let Tomlin micromanage the offense whatsoever and let him know he’s on the hot seat if he doesn’t get his shit together. Then in the off-season invest in one high quality IOL and draft a tackle in the first two rounds. If a good QB ends up on the trade block and isn’t absurdly expensive go grab him, or if one of the qbs in the draft falls within five picks of their slot, trade up. Otherwise keep Pickett, give him a shot with a real OC and have a contending roster ready to trade up in the 2025 when less teams will be looking for a qb.
Ravens can take out SF, we match up well with them. Can’t wait for the Christmas game, just hope we’re able to hold on to our DC past this year.
The odds of winning the Super Bowl are 1 of 32 and that's true no matter what era that includes 32 teams. It was slightly easier when the league had 28 teams, but only because it had less teams. Everything that the typical team has to deal with in today's NFL, their opponents have to as well. It was more possible to have a stacked roster before the salary cap, but then you had to play against and beat teams that had stacked rosters. No matter how hard or easy it gets, there is always exactly one Super Bowl winner.
here is a big what if. Mind you I am not a Steelers fan at all. But the Bears will almost certainly have the number one pick. They fire the HC (sorry but he was a mistake hire from the beginning) and draft a new QB. They then trade Fields to the Steelers. Do I think Fields is a great QB? Far from it BUT he would be a pretty big upgrade in Pittsburg. Thoughts anyone?
With these new Defensive Ends and gigantic QB contracts we are almost never gonna see a fully complete NFL team again. It comes to the point where many teams window to win is strictly when their Pro-Bowl QB is still on a rookie contract.
steelers should draft a QB on day 2 and have them sit behind kenny with a good OC that’s not promoted from within

I think this video isn’t factoring in some things with the Bills, like sure they’re talented, but their talent isn’t performing how it should. Let’s not forget the biggest reason they lost to the Jets is cause Allen was throwing up ducks to the defense every 5 plays or so. It wasn’t just unlucky, he played poorly.

Pay the offense. Specifically, pay the QB, then the OL (LT and C), then one elite pass-catcher. Fill in the rest as you can. Build the defense young, hungry, and cheap, cheap being the key, and accept whatever happens there. Keeping your QB healthy and efficient is 90%+ of the battle. But you need coaches that can elevate talent and you need to draft competently.
When a lot of teams adopt that strategy, those positions end up being overpaid and harder to find talent at, and then eventually it will stop being the ideal strategy.
@@Zoetherat QBs, LTs, and WRs are already 'overpaid', and this is still the best strategy for long-term success. Just because everyone is trying to implement this strategy, doesn't mean they're succeeding.
Well you gonna want good defense lol
@@Zoetherat He's not wrong though. As a Vikings fan, I've seen recently what happens when the OL or DL aren't up to snuff. You need pash rushers to punish opponent's QBs and Oline and you need a good passing attack to win tough games. Sure, other teams are trying to get the same positions, but that's where creativity comes into play. It's what makes building a roster so much fun after all.
We need a QB for starters and we need a redefined O-line aside from our rookie Broderick jones which by the way as a ROOKIE is our highest graded line man on the team that oh and on top of that also an OC the favorite from what I have heard is Byron leftwich which isn’t terrible but but I think there is better options out there that we can look to acquire such as the O-line and run coordinator from the 49ers that’s my take on the Steelers. It sucks that we do genuinely have talent on our team but it’s just a waste smh oh well maybe next year lol
Everything is about greed now and selfishness
So remember kids, use something only as long as it is useful to you, and then immediately discard it when it even appears like it might lose that usefulness!
Remember, even other people are disposable 👍🏻
Steelers fan here: think we should give kenny another year and spend on free agency. Feel like we owe it to him since canada was genuinely holding him back. But as a fan id love to trade kenny and multiple picks for herbert if the chargers decide to blow it up
Serious question though, would you take a chance on Cousins if you could get him? Most likely he’s re-signing in MN, but if he were available, he’d be a massive upgrade on Pickett.
Sigh. I’m a Bills fan and this just makes me so insanely depressed. We won’t win a Super Bowl with Josh.
4:20 its a double egde sword, but this why we got ride of Khalil Mack he ate up most of the budget and Bears couldn't add or improved the roster.
you need to do an episode where you worship the Browns who somehow found a way to overpay a player at nearly every level and still not go over the salary cap. I mean they have a QB, RB, WR, OL, DE. CB all making top dollar. No other team has that.
"Success is 80% showing up", goes the saying. Be a playoff regular, an SB will fall on your lap one day.
The comments on this one are wild, great video! 👏🏻
We are undervaluing how much luck plays a role in determining who wins the super bowl. The best case scenario for a team is they might have a 30% chance of winning the super bowl, and that's only if they have a super roster and the rest of the league isn't good. You have to win like 3-4 games in a row against the best teams in the nfl in order to win the super bowl. Even if you're the best team in the league and have like a 66% chance of winning each game (which is insanely high) on average and you're the #1 seed, you have like a 28% chance of winning the super bowl. Almost 3/4 times a team who isn't as good as you will win it all in that scenario. Winning the super bowl isn't about being the best team for 1 year, it's about being good enough to compete for enough years that eventually the stars will align and you'll win a few times.
I'd honestly love to know when you thought it was easy to win in the NFL.
In my opinion the only way to win a Super Bowl in this modern era is to rather have a QB on their rookie contract or have a QB that takes less money. Also it’s obvious but you need a Good o line aswell
The NFL salary cap is 30 years in. And it’s done precisely what it’s supposed to do. A more level playing field for every team. Depth is more important than ever. You can’t lose a star player to injury, and not have another one that can step up and do the job. This is why the Patriots were what they were for so long (no it wasn’t cheating). Instead of putting your whole season on the backs of a few premiere players, you need a full roster of solid “football smart” hard working guys that play mistake free football. When one player and his agent sit down to dinner, and eat the entire turkey themselves, don’t complain when you get a bellyache! 😂
The officiating is awful. You can’t develop anyone. As soon as they become good they re gone. The 9 ers will lose every body after this year.
See Go Long's recent 3 part series on substack about how Sean McDermott is the biggest problem in Buffalo by a large margin
As several people have pointed out, the Patriots did it during this era of parity. Part of it was having Brady, sure. However, that was only part of it.
It is the biggest part of it
@@freepeople091 I mean... sure, it's the biggest part. Quarterback is the most important position after all. However, on it's own, it's no where near good enough. The Colts only got 1 superbowl with Peyton Manning, the Saints only got 1 with Drew Brees, and the Packers only got 1 with Aaron Rodgers. All those quarterbacks are in the same league as Tom. Also, the Bucs got Tom when they already had a loaded team, and they only competed for a superbowl for two years before regressing. The Patriots, by contrast, had a 17 year stretch where they played in 9 superbowls (half of them) and won 6 (one third of them). They didn't do that just because of Tom.
Change the rules so that less value is put on QBs, WRs, and DBs. Emphasize running the ball.
As a Steelers fan there’s nothing more that I’d love than to move off KP. However we’re too deep into the draft to select a viable qb. There’s a chance that penix drops considerably due to medicals but it’s unrealistic to grab him in the second round. Let’s just say I’ll be scouting 2025 college QBs early this year.
why does this background music make me think of stephen curry with a 40 inch vertical
Although you didn't explicitly mention the Eagles in the video, since Hurts was on the thumbnail I do want to give a few words on them. This is the last year before Hurts' massive extension comes in, but Howie Roseman was able to tinker around and make the first few years of it not as bad as you'd expect. Obviously we've got our 1-2 receiver punch with AJ and DeVonta, the former Howie re-signed immediately upon getting him and the latter will be in extension talks very soon. As for our offensive line, which has widely been regarded the best in the league, you hear every year about whether or not Jason Kelce will ultimately call it a career, and he literally said that losing the Super Bowl played a factor in his decision to return. Lane Johnson you feel like is not much longer for the league either, and he's been a big deal for us. We'll be left wondering if pieces like Cam Jurgens, Tyler Steen and Jack Driscoll can take over adequately.
The biggest issue right now, if you haven't already figured out, is that our secondary is practically nonexistent. We had all the pieces last year and basically none this time around without CJGJ, Maddox, TJ Edwards, etcetera. Although there are plenty of pieces Howie deserves praise for being able to get as of late, his drafting secondary pieces has left something to be desired. Regardless of whether they get it together and we do in fact win it all this year or not, I'm hoping that Howie takes some defensive pieces early on, but we're not a franchise known for getting linebackers early. We'll see just what good Darius Leonard can do for us.
And it doesn't help that people are not exactly liking the new coordinators. Reuben Frank, our longtime Eagles writer, has put out multiple pieces defending the OC, telling us what we've been getting wrong there and telling us we should stop firing Brian Johnson because even with the questionable playcalls, we're still one of the better offenses in the league, and you wouldn't know that without looking it up. As for Sean Desai, one minute Eagles Twitter will say he's no better than Jonathan Gannon, the next they'll say he's better than Gannon ever was. He's tried to get what he can out of the constantly rotating talent he's had, and it hasn't always worked out.
Even though the roster turnover will have to be fluctuating frequently, with someone like Jalen Hurts manning this team, and a creative GM like Howie Roseman who has gotten more aggressive than ever as of late, I do believe that Hurts will get his redemption before all is said and done. There's too much talent on this team not to.
tl;dr
Eagles aren’t even best team in own division. Dallas just curbstomped them 😢
Tj watt deserves a better Tema tbh
Well, it's certainly possible for some teams. Every year a Superbowl is played and a winner is declared. Maybe the word Impossible is not the right choice, but extremely difficult would be better.
Not a Steelers fan, but a Colts fan. But my twin brother is a die hard Steelers fan to the point I've seen more Steelers games in my life than my own team. I think Kirk Cousins is a guy I would keep my eyes on if I were the Steelers, I think they are a bit more than just a quarterback away but not much, I think a guy like Cousins would immensely elevate the play of Pickens, Johnson, Friarmueth.
That being said I don't think Kenny is the answer, however I do hate the direction the league has gone in terms of having patience developing a franchise quarterback, with the way the league works now and wanting to win on cheap deals at QB if it doesn't work right away you just cast a guy like a Zach Wilson or a Pickett away after 2-3 years. So many legends of the game from Bradshaw, to Geno Smith didn't succeed to the standard they would go into this quick.
But also Pickett just doesn't seem to be it, I think going with Kirk Cousins in the off-season and try to lure him to Pittsburgh is the way to go.
I feel like there's always this "refs" factor. Because it seems every game 1 team gets way more screwed by the refs
The salary cap is what really makes it hard for teams to be dominate consistently. Every roster has world class players and can beat you any given sunday
Almost impossible! Meanwhile Brady won 7 and made it to 10.
Kirk cousins to steelers would be huge this offseason
god no
I gave Kenny the benefit of doubt, but he's back up QB
Steelers need to work on the defense secondary and linebacker
as an sf fan that just got into football last year; this video scared me 😅
Perfect example la chargers they have a amazing defense and offense (coaching) you need a good coach
Squeelers need a QB and I hope they take a record breaking timeframe to find that player 😂
Kenny has a 98 passer rating since Canada...the ankle injury kills this evaluation tho
i want the Steelers to either do the rams "f the picks" and trade for a QB or draft jayden Daniels. let Kenny play for his job like they did with drew brees when he was with the chargers. im so tired of watching terrible QB play.
It’s been 2 years
Cool stat, there are (almost) the same amount of TOTAL wins in each of the 17 game seasons. Almost, only because of the few ties. Winning, is gonna happen by one team or another 99% of the time. So to word it as winning being almost impossible..... 🤨
As for the Steelers, they have all the talent there. All have proven it multiple times, the ability to win under pressure. I'd take that anyway over most other teams. WhateverTF happened against the Cardinals, THEY HAVE to figure that out. Kenny going down, sucked. I don't worry about his ability to throw accurately, I worry not about the durability at this point. This O Line has been ATROCIOUS by the Pitt standard for fout year's now!
8:04 beautiful blocking
I’m confused. Doesn’t 1 out of 32 teams win every year? Same as 20 years ago? How is it impossible to win?
In addition to a salary cap, there should be an individual salary cap.
Steelers fan. Trubisky's contract is up this year. Mitch and Mason Rudolph will be gone. Steelers will probably look at drafting a later round QB and signing a vet backup to compete with Pickett. I still believe in Pickett. Canada being gone is great, but coaching is still a big issue. We are no longer in a Manning, Brady, Brees league. Having a consistent game manager is more than ok as long as other key pieces are in place.
look at the cowboys with there “Game manager”
As a Steelers fan, Kenny deserves as much blame as Matt Canada. He does miss some very rudimentary NFL balls and is closer to mediocre than elite. If I were Khan, I would sign kirk/fields or draft a QB in a loaded class. After last years incredible offseason, I believe in the Khan artist and have all the faith that he’ll swindle us into another dynasty 💪
Buffalo couldn'tve won that jet game. They needed nothing on the jets offense to win. Healthy bills couldn't get it done even vs an unprepared jet team.
sorry, I know this isn't important, but at 1:10 isn't he lined up in the neutral zone?
Steelers fan here: you let Kenny play his third season next year. If it doesn’t work out, you either draft a QB in 2025 or wait until 2026 when you can trade up for Manning.
if you wait til 26 you may not have to trade up at all lmfao
At this point you are better off just drafting a QB every 5 years.
Teams manage to do it about 50% of the time
What should Pittsburgh do? Trade for Zappe.
Every dog has their day eventually. Even my Falcons make superbowls. Barring historically awfully run franchises, every team wins eventually.
Salaries are out of control, along with referring, plus they let politics into the game. The NFL is doomed unless changes get made.
He says it's impossible to win but each week roughly 50% of the teams win 🤔
I figured out the truth of this video a long time ago, which begs the question: how the hell did the Patriots manage to sustain their success for close to 20 years?
