Steelers 2024 Offseason Thread

[meow]

well only if you have a first round QB

[willeyeam]

His stupid offense works in college.

With 3 NFL skill players and 2 NFL linemen - otherwise, the offense never really worked in college either

[blackjack68]

Definitely the best draft ever!

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Bill Nunn was largely responsible for those picks and his contributions are severely underappreciated. IMO, he should be celebrated at the same level as Chuck Noll and the Chief.

[robbiestoupe]

That music was top notch

[LeopardLetang]

Wow never even heard that name. Thanks SDD

[Morkle]

Pittsburgh reportedly hiring Arthur Smith. Predictable of the predictable.

[Trip McNeely]

Don’t mind it

[nocera]

Makes sense. He doesn’t need money so he’ll accept the low salary.

Wasn't Smith the OC in TEN when they were....... like, comedy bad at getting the ball to receivers?

[dodint]

Yes.

AJ Brown's two years with Arthur Smith, his rookie and sophomore year:

52 rec -1051 yards -8 tds
70 rec -1075 yards -11 tds (14 games)

Yeah, I saw a lot of memes with the old guy wearing the shirt that he got as a present and Pam from the office "It's the same picture" thing with Matt Canada and Arthur Smith's picture. No bueno.

But Najee is sort of like Derrick Henry-esque. I think? And Arthur Smith likes a lot of heavy TE formations, so if Soff Muth can stay in the lineup, he could be utilized more.

Anyway, it's like 15 days before pitchers and catchers report. We'll worry about the Steelers once the draft is over.

[tifosi77]

Right....... which iirc was about what the rest of the WR group all had combined, and doubled up the next WR in TDs.

Derrick Henry now, maybe.

[willeyeam]

i don't like the hire just to be clear, but take a look at those WRs and tell me why you'd expect them to put up anything differently than they did with Ryan Tannehill at QB and Henry having 30 carries/game

[Morkle]

The problem for me is that we're going to continue to do this boring score two times a game offense. Should have just kept Sullivan and the RB coach because I don't really see much that changed right now. I also understand bright mind hires might not find this place desirable - but it sucks watching offenses continue to revamp themselves to today's current NFL and we're stuck in the 70s.

[King Colby]

I wouldn't but we don't exactly have ryan tannehill or Derrick henry...

[nocera]

I'm willing to give him a shot. Plus, if he stinks, we just have to wait the three years til his contract expires.

[Troy Loney]

If the qb has a pulse, he’s as good as tannehill

[dodint]

If you combine this with the Rooney "It's was Mike's idea" interview maybe when they don't improve this year Rooney can go ahead move on from Tomlin.

That's all Rooney did to make this situation worse.

If Tomlin waited forever to fire Canada - then it's on Tomlin.

If Tomlin said he was going to interview candidates, and cast a wide net - he didn't do that and hired the most predictable hire of predictable.

Why doesn't Tomlin ever hire up and comers or even give them a look?

Gotta give Smith a shot - but this hire seems as if it's an admission they don't have a starter quality QB for the long-term so they're just going to mail it in and continue on with what's been going on. That's not a successful hire, optic-wise, imo.
