Tampering grades————-Steelers

I am less excited than most about the acquisition of Pittman. Is he an upgrade over any of the receivers not named Metcalf? Probably. But that's a low bar. He'll help for sure, but I don't see hm being some earth shattering addition. Plus, who is throwing any of them the football? That is a huge question mark and will make a huge difference in how all of this turns out.

Jamel Dean was a great addition but his age is a factor. Dowdle is ok, nothing great. Solid players all, but no real game breakers.

I'd say C+/B-.

That's the thing -- got a bunch of guys in their late 20's, all upgrades which is great, but it's a win now move and we don't have a QB. Also, where do the explosive plays come from in this offense? DK taking a slant to the house?

Tough sledding when you have to rely on grind it out drives all game.
 
I’d give it a solid B-
We have 2 solid #2 WR’s now. I truly hope we can get that young exciting stud in the first round. And play him instantly. Let’s hope one of the top WR’s fall.
I think I’m the only one……but I think they should have kept Isaac. 10 million was definitely doable.
I would have made a serious play for a young Coby Bryant from Seattle and then more than likely cut or tried to trade Ramsey if he is that safety option.
I’m fine with Rico. They saved 2 million on salary and I think they needed his type of style if our 3rd round pick is a bust. Gainwell was our MVP and a surprise. I wish him well.
We will get hopefully 2-3 solid years from Dean. I like the signing but in no way would it stop me from drafting a top DB if available.
Resigning Cole for that cheap was a no brainer,and bringing back our punter Johnston I agree with. Waitman had a zillion chances to pin punts inside the 10. And just never seemed to get it done. Inconsistent.
Asante was a good move for 4 million dollars. It could be the diamond in the rough.

No matter what the QB carousel keeps on turning and turning and turning…….we can draft all world WR’s sign 30 million dollar a year WR FA contracts blah,blah ,blah. It all means nothing unless we have a young rising QB to Chuck the pigskin. While the jury is still out….I think they made a big mistake not going for Dart in the draft when we had the chance. I watched quite a few games with Simpson. He is not the answer in the draft. After not going after Dart or Darnold last season,Rodgers was the best option. Will it turn out the same by not going for Willis? Say it ain’t so.


Great post Steelmann, appreciate yaz.!!!!

I wanted them to bring in Malick Willis, and he went still within the price range.


I’m tired of the old geriatric roller-coaster this team has been on.

It could be Art 2 pushing the win now agenda because he might be near stepping down.

Art tie would like a SB run before he retires……………..

I wanted them to a team that has a future.

I’m a side note, they are making the team better and better from the trenches outward..



Salute the nation
 
Driving Coolie around.


Like I said, we understand your handicap………………..

Keep in mind that when those little oxygen mask(s) drop from the ceiling, USE them……. Gas is present

You eat the clock and win, keep the D fresh and the opposing O getting cold sitting on a bench
