DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... I've been so spoiled over the last 40+ years

Now my team is definitely rebuilding, much overdue. At least they have some pieces to build with like Pickett (hopefully), Pickens, TJ Watt, Minkah, Leal. I guess the Steelers are good candidates for #1 in the draft this year. I feel some empathy with everything Browns fans have gone through over the years. It's my turn.

Good.

Just Kidding (but not really).

For some reason, I have a feeling the Steelers will get their act together before the Browns.

AZBrown - I don't think so. I think the Browns have much better players at this point.

Perspective be a good thang, mom.

You b fam, grrrl... we love you here.

Maybe, but as an organization we are a complete mess and are very likely to start cleaning house again. With no cap space and a limitied amount of draft choices to boot.

Atleast the Steelers have continuity and a plan in place, something the Browns will never have.

My Steelers friends have been saying that This year proves that Tomlin’s “never had a losing record” attribute is actually Big Ben’s attribute. Most of them want Tomlin out. I honestly think that the Steelers have some great young players but are a quarterback and a couple other players away from being a playoff team. If I were the Steelers gm, I’d do everything that I could to bring in Aaron Rogers and a couple other role players - Instant playoff team. As for the rivalry,The Browns have kind of been beating the Steelers up for a few years now. I’d say the big turning point was the MNF game back in 2019 when Myles and Mason Rudolph went at it. - The Browns won the game and we’re clearly the more physical team that night. That was followed by the playoff blowout and so forth. However, the Steelers are not in need of a rebuild like the Browns were 5 years ago. They remind me more of the Broncos team a few years back that signed an aging Peyton Manning and won a Super Bowl.

The Steelers have the two most important things the Browns don't...

Culture and leadership.

Browns will probably never be good because they lack both. And unfortunately even if you bring leaders in the culture has a way of extinguishing those qualities.

More like the past 20, or since Big Ben came into the league.

Spend the year figuring out if Pickett is the real deal, or line yourself up with one of the college QB's that will be drafted high.

It all begins with the QB. Everything else is pretty meaningless, or can be built around. See Cleveland Browns....

I don't get the Tomlin disdain. Big Ben helped, but Trubisky or Rudolph were not the solution.
