I want to root for Pittsburgh to have a bad year because maybe he'll be available but, as others have pointed out, why would he want to join this franchise when he'll probably have his choice of where to go next.

I think for a coach like Tomlin, Woody would give a lot of say and possibly even pick his own GM + gets Rodgers for another couple of years if his recent quotes about playing longer are true. The whole "bad organization" thing is overblown if the owner is someone who gives up control and power by being starstruck. Woody has done it before, he gave Rex A LOT of say early on....he gave the keys to the franchise to Rodgers....he'd do it again for a coach like Pete Carroll or Mike Tomlin, or to a lesser degree Mike Vrabel.

As opposed to annual replies of the Pollyanna Crowd: Signs Load of Guys - Smart, JD is so Dreamy and Brilliant, we're Super Bowl bound!

My guess is that there will be much more D&G than Pollyanna ... especially after last year's Superbowl hype fell so flat in such spectacular fashion. The prevailing mood around here feels to me like fire everyone and hope the owner sells. Just as unlikely as a SB, IMHO.

I guess they think Russ gets them over the hump and deeper in the playoffs? Arthur Smith and Russell Wilson offense...I have no idea how that will turn out. I'm pretty sure with the contract he signed in Denver that Wilsons contract this year is essentially free for Pittsburgh. I believe he is owed like $30mm+ from Denver and anything he gets paid this year offsets it. Pittsburgh signed him for the minimum of ~$1.3mm so he'll now get $28.7mm from Denver and $1.3mm from Pittsburgh. If you're Pittsburgh you probably don't want to totally give up on Pickens but also realize you have a competitive team and can't rely on Pickens again. They made the playoffs with some of the worst QB play in the league - so Wilson offers legit upside to that at zero cost. Say what you want about RW - and you can say a lot - but he did throw for 3k+ yards, 26 tds/8 picks last year in 15 games. That is pretty good to get for free. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're giving up our first next year I'd rather try and get Aiyuk than Higgins. Aiyuk's on the books in 2024 for $14mm so it'll help to prorate his contract over an extension and I think he is better anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that, and 8 years since our last winning season, and no playoffs since 2010. Over that time we've drafted five bust QB's, Sanchez, Geno, Hackenberg, Darnold & Wilson. Offenses ranked 28, 29, 28, 11 (Fitzy), 30, 24, 23, 31, 32, 28, 29 & 29 since 2011. And Rodgers played 4 plays last year after a near-Ironman career prior to that. What warrants there being more positivity than negativity given this long record of failure? I'd say nothing at this time. The best cure to negativity is success. Show us, don't tell us.

I do expect a winning season and while that might blow your skirt up, it's far better than the past 8 years. I would also be disappointed if they don't make the playoffs unless it's a situation where they win 11 and get screwed on a tiebreaker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't selling, so it is what it is.I do get the point, and yes it is tough to feel all that hopeful right now. Probably why I don't post as much as I normally would do, as so many threads just seem to exist in order to moan about everything. Even this week there was "how bad are we going to suck in free agency". It always seems to be the two extremes that are the most vocal. Last year if you weren't booking Superbowl tickets you were criticised, this year if you say anything positive you get criticised. It's better when there can actually be a conversation and exchange of views, but that seems to be going out of fashion.

I expected a playoff season last year. We had Aaron Rodgers after all. I expect one this year now, the talent is good enough, mostly, and should get better if our GM pulls his head out of his ass. But this franchise finds a way to change offseason "expects playoffs" into horrible failure every year, for decades now, so we'll see. I just won't stomach the bitchy "Jets Fans suck they complain too much" posters here for expressing anything critical. This isn't a fanclub, it's a forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
