Purdy was the last pick, there have been several qbs taken after the 1st or late in the 1st, they could have drafted. Do you know the pecking order of the Steelers? Did he not have any say in when and who to draft? With his record, at the time? You go to 2 Super Bowls, winning one, plus all those division titles, just when do they shut down and draft a qb early? So Tomlin was slow on when to pull the trigger, they had a shot at Lamar and passed. Seems to me, as I said, he is Harbs, Harbs is him. What separates them is a win or two each year that can be attributed to players making mistakes. The ball bounces funny sometimes and it has nothing to do with the coach. But it does with a close win.

Everyone gives their name before asking a question, case solved

Why couldn't he get those players in his 19 years at Pitt? He won his Super Bowl and got to another with players drafted BEFORE he became coach. Just like, as you say, Harbs did with his Super Bowl victory. Once those players got old, were released, or retired, he brought in no one. Should we go over the list of qbs he brought in & or drafted over the years? Same coach, no thanks. It is not a Pitt thing, I just see the two as interchangeable. OK, there is the whole stepping onto the field to slow down Jacoby Jones as he was returning a kick for an easy touchdown, where everyone gave him a pass including the league.

Pit has many issues, it is not as good of a job as some think. They are aged, on defense, and some on offense. Then there is the qb situation, they don't have one and draft a bit low to get one in this coming weak qb draft class. They have been running on duct tape and chewing gum for years.

I hope they get a head coach soon, the good oc's will be taken quickly what with the Iggles and Chargers now needing one

What? Really? 1 super Bowl win, same as Harbs. Great regular season record, not so much in the post season. He is Harbs, the one you bash when the wind blows north. No thanks, besides he said he wants to take a year off.

I agree, very good owner, inviting Lamar to sit in on the interviews, great sense of humor. His passion for the team came through loud and clear. A great watch/listen

The Biscuit: "we have players on the offensive line that did not develope, took a step back, why? Coaching, so we have to fix that" On free agents on the team and Lamar's contract; want it done before free agency hits so we can sign our own players and go from there. If we have to, we will toss the $75 mil into void years and have him at this year's price. What I (the Biscuit) want to see happen is just add money to the current contract, it is that simple. Eric, 9 interviews between now and Sunday

Tomlin steps down, wow

6 Points, another 1st round loss in the playoffs, at home, on Monday night, when & where Mike T never loses, 22-4 overall, 12-0 at home. Well, at least until last night. Sure, he has an impressive streak of not having a losing season, but this is the 2nd year in a row where his team didn't just lose in the first round, they were destroyed. This year, against a team who kept dropping the snap on offense and only put up 17 pts, their defense scored 13 pts. Is Roger now going to sail off into the sunset with his supposed wife? Is Tomlin done? Yes, solid regular season record, but he is now 8-13 in the playoffs. He has now tied Marvin Lewis for most consecutive playoff loses, with 7. 8 division titles, 3 AFC championship games, 2 Super Bowls, 1 win. But since Big Ben retired, nadda, zip, zilch, not even a decent quarterback.

Again? Seems Jerry was right.

Parsons, no tackles, no sacks, no pressures in the playoff game. AJ Brown, more drops than catches, big drops. Both players paid lots of money and their teams are out of the playoffs, carry on

In case you couldn't watch the game last night, watch the Indiana wide out, Sarratt, talked about him earlier in the thread. He is not a speed demon, he is what this team needs, a possession receiver who is tough, physical and has great hands. The Ravens can get him in the 2nd, maybe even the 3rd. They don't have a guy like this, though they use Likely for this, if they resign him. Think of Puka, very similar skill set https://youtu.be/Ll10FXn5Jjg?si=ItJPEvPDk-PcmUI8

Get whatcha can when ya can

Swart and McDaniel would be a great combo, Nestor the pester would be over joyed, he and Jim are buddies. Flores is intriguing, strong ties to Bill B, must have learned a lot from him. Got a raw deal in Miami, but he might have also not been ready to be hc at the time. He and Swartz game planning defense ought to scare the crap out of the league. I think that would be a great staff

Like the quarterback that sets a franchise up for 5+ years of success or turmoil for 5 years. A new head coach, all new assistants, training staff, in game adjustments, clock management, could set this team up or destroy it. When Billick was fired, the same "fear", consternation, gripped players, fans alike. While Harbs had his issues, a bottomless pit of a dog house, in game management, he also brought us what 6, 7 division titles, and couple of conference championship games, several ending in heartbreaking fashion, two missed field goals, a dropped/fumbled touchdown/two point conversion. A miraculous last second 70+ yard bomb to win and go to a Super Bowl, which they won, despite a huge power "failure" just after half time. Yes, Harbs had his issues, most if not all coaches do, but hopefully the next head coach is at least as winning as Harbs.

In case you couldn't see the game last night, quite the game and a good look at some draft picks

Woods is awesome when he gets plenty of rotation. His weight management might be an issue

You can check the young man out this weekend in the playoff game against Ole Miss. They have a very good defensive line, he should get a good test.

Curious to see, providing Eric stays, how his draft picks change, was Harbs behind drafting those injured draft duds? Will the Ravens change how they prioritize picks?

He isnt bad, a solid right tackle in college, but he tends to kean into the rusher, using his power, which at the next level will be not good. Thus why he would be best suited to move to guard. He does have good feet, so he is coachable

Was just thinking that. He is a better oc than head coach

This would be a good pick, while he does get "lazy" at times and uses his strength to over power rather than move his feet, he is a very good move the pile blocker.
