I thought they would have revisited that decision as the receiving fell apart but maybe not surprisingly there were no adjustments.

Hands down although there’s a case for Washington even though he is IR’d.

It really doesn't speak well to the state of the roster that a utility RB who has like a thousand scrimmage yards is your MVP. He hasn't even been consistently good all year. He's had some duds of performances.

He was a good pick-up, but this just means the rest of your skill guys are mediocre at best if they don't outright suck.

Preaching to the choir CK.

42 year old retread QB with no consistent Receiver talent or it’s washed bout aged out talent.

Same can be said for the highest paid underperforming defense in NFL History.

Wholesale change is required for a thorough rebuild. From owner through coaching staff through players.

Save yourself $$Millions:

Restructure Watt
Restructure Metcalf
Restructure Ramsey
Restructure Highsmith
Restructure Freiermuth

Cut Heyward (both)
Cut Smith
Cut Queen
Cut Harris
Cut Trice
Cut Dugger

Resign on the cheap or move on…

Resign Gainwell
Resign Dylan Cook
Resign Samuel Jr.
Resign Castro
Resign Ke'Shawn Williams

Sift through FA and try to stay on the cheap.

Oh, Draft Very Well.

I personally think Gainwell & Washington are on the first tier.

Rodgers & Ramsey on the next tier.

Boswell, Warren, & Troy Fautanu on the third.

yea the elephant in the room is they're continuing to avoid the talk but pushing JAG#101, 102, 103, 104, etc onto the field.

See MVS as latest dice throw. It's dreadfully not a good Steeler FO way to be, it sucks.

But on the other hand, they did try to get a few guys at trade time, Jacobi Myers was choosing us or Jax, he chose wisely, Tomlin wrecks careers

A backup RB?

Holy shit is that bad.

What a disaster this team is front to back. It will take decades to fix this. It took decades to fuck it up.

Educated guess?

Wholesale change at coaching staff and a few decent drafts is about a decade. :lol:

You mean the team's leading receiver?
