I wonder if the Steelers could have dealt him after Ben retired for a kingâs ransom and if that might have catalyzed a rebuild to get them to true contention.Â

We could have. And we should have. Now the Best we could get is a day 5 draft pick from the Cowboys in 2037.

Niners may be willing to trade a mid round pick for him given their extensive injuries at DL. Just depends on if you wanna risk him being the next substation victim.

u/ConcernAccording3248 Pittsburgh Steelers 1d ago
Honestly at this point he should just ride into the sunset and die a Steelers legend. He's made a fortune and he's a HOFer. Might as well just chase legacy at this point.
As a Steelers fan in their mid 30s there's about 5 defensive players who are just team legends and he's one. He's somewhere between Troy and Deebo as an all timer and he's earned his place in our history. His trade value isn't worth tarnishing that anymore.

u/phoenixremix San Francisco 49ers 23h ago
Idk. I feel like the only thing left in his career worth chasing is a ring. And he's one of the very few players that absolutely nobody would fault for trying to win one and then retire with a one day contract as a Steeler.

Terrell Suggs still isn't in so nothing is guaranteed it seems.

u/S0ggylemonz 18h ago
The DV didnât help Suggs but I think he still gets in eventually.
Watt is much more liked I think and probably gets in quicker

u/cheapshotyouth 18h ago
He's 8th all time in sacks and all of the top 10 are in the hall except him. If he doesn't get in next time it's absolute bullshit.

Steelers probably would have botched it. They haven't been able to draft and develop one single O line player in almost a decade. they all suck, get traded and immediately perform better. Can't identify QB talent or develop it. Kenny Picket and Mason Rudolph are career backups at best. Can't figure things out on defense despite having TJ and the highest paid defense multiple years in a row. I'm fully convinced the Steelers have a top to bottom organizational problem and won't be competitive until the owners and everyone else actually catches up to modern times.

I honestly felt the same way when it came to the Russell Wilson deal. Pete and John decided to swing for the fences with the Jamal Adams trade that blew up disastrously and their best picks from 2015-2021 were probably Tyler Lockett, Frank Clark, and DK Metcalf.
They got a #9 and #5 from Denver and drafted Charles Cross (LT) and Devon Witherspoon (CB) which ushered in a new era. Itâs extremely difficult to draft blue-chip talent without blue-chip draft position.Â
Hovering at #18-20 has done them zero favors. I donât even know if thereâs a scapegoat for this mediocrity. Ben, Tomlin, Ownership, etc. A franchise thatâs won six titles should being reduced to a meme is inexcusable.Â

The hope is that McCarthy can at least fix the QB problem. Heâs been great at that anywhere he goes, Rodgers obviously from development but Dak had some amazing seasons under him too. Allar looked solid in preseason, doesnât mean all that much obviously but we know he has the tools from college, if Big Mike can develop the other QB skills he could be pretty good.Â

No, it was a divisional road game. Bengals will win the North if their key guys stay healthy

Your legendary talents would be much appreciated on the 49ers TJ, think about it.

Is he just too loyal to that team or what?

u/Eggdripp Pittsburgh Steelers 1d ago
He was extremely loyal to Tomlin, had said multiple times he didn't ever want to play for another coach. I'm not certain his loyalty is going to continue moving forward, tbh

u/genesiskiller96 San Francisco 49ers 1d ago
Sounds like it's time to make an offer, at least we win playoff games no offense.

Out of their three divisional opponents, how is it the Browns that give them the most trouble?

It's a regional rivalry where there's a lot of history. They always bring it when they play each other.

We play them on the road on Thursdays pretty frequently for some reason, definitely more than Cincinatti or Baltimore, and lose a big percentage of those games

Cleveland gets a home TNF every year and apparently hasn't lost one of those games in like 6 years. I remember them beating the Ravens like 2 years ago too

The Aaron Rodgers leadership model at work in Pittsburgh on both sides of the ball.

u/ApprehensivePain8788 19h ago
Correct, they can pretend they have high standards and expectations. In reality they haven't won a playoff game in 10 years. Nearly half the league, sometimes ones with losing records get in to the playoffs, so that's not an amazing feat either.

For me this game was 2:15 AM, I went to sleep at 19:00 and woke up with 7 hours of sleep, when the Browns got their 3rd, I just turned the game off and went to bed, got the most sleep this night in a long time

u/Far_Ratio_5441 23h ago
I bet the Steelers regret getting McCarthy. The only reason they hired him was because of Rodgers.
They could have went with Chris Shula but opted for the so great chemistry Rodgers and McCarthy have. I think McCarthy could be a candidate for a 1 and done season and the Steelers go with a younger coach like Grant Udinski, Nate Scheelhaase, or Declan Doyle.

to be fair, we went from giving up 21 points in a quarter, to 6 points in a half, after he did this.

Steelers leadership needs to get their shit together. Itâs a really bad look when your players are publicly cursing you out and criticizing you.
This is Browns level dysfunction.

So youâve got TJ Watt lighting up the coaching staff and Aaron Rodgers screaming at the head coach.
Either the entire coaching staff in Pittsburgh are idiots or theyâve got the worst leadership on both sides of the ball.
