What were forgetting is that highly paid does not equal good. We happened to have a bunch of roster spots and a bunch of cap space so we signed people to fill those spots but there's not exactly a bunch of young talent on rookie deals contributing.That bills game was a wake up call. The talent disparities between the two teams was depressing. Stillers are at least 2 or 3 consecutive good drafts from being a worthwhile contender.One other thing that gets overlooked... We are not good.
A lot of the steelers conversation is built around the expectation to win. But our team is simply worse than other teams. Most other teams in fact. So we shouldn't expect that.
There are a handful of good players. That's about it.
I might say 2 or 3 good drafts from even being even a playoff team, at least in this AFC.
