So if I hear it once more I may implode... the term gained traction in the NFL after the Rams spent a ton of assets before winning their last Super Bowl.

Since then, the term has been chronically misused.

The Rams, in 2021, had been a contender for a bit and had huge cap space issues going forward trying to keep the team together.
The season before they traded two first round picks (2020 and 2021) for Jalen Ramsey.
Prior to 2021, they traded a younger Goff and their 2022 and 2023 first round picks along with a 2021 third round pick for Matt Stafford... then they added Von miller midseason at the cost of a 2022 2nd and 3rd round pick. They also added OBJ late in the season.

While they did recoup a lot of later round picks through subsequent trades, they ultimately had traded 8 picks away in 2022... they didnt have a first rounder from 20-23.... and their cap was a mess for years...


The Steelers have a sweet cap position and a glut of future picks... signing a few old FAs is not all in
 
The Steelers were among the most active teams this offseason.
Without going through the acquisitions and trades, parting ways with starters Minkah, Najee, Pickens, and 2 QB’s, then making Watt the highest paid and then signing Rodgers are eye opening enough moves (or desperate) for people to say that the Steelers are “all in”.

It was Rodgers signing that made it official.
 
The Steelers are “all in” though Mad, “all in” for the next Tomlinship…the Steeler way.

The problem is they are going “all in” with a short stack on the table as they still have two buy ins in their pocket.

The other issue is they are going “all in” from the cutoff position where there has been a three times the pot bet from the Chiefs and then they were raised by the Eagles and the team on the button is sitting there grinning from ear to ear.

And the Steelers go “all in” from the cutoff position with pocket 6s🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Yup we’re on a two outer for sure, and need to dodge a bunch of cards on this “all in”.

Yes but different levels.

Steelers all in to be above .500

Clowns all in sh!t. They like to roll in it, bathe in it, but the fans can point to that one semi- recent playoff win before their collapse last season.

So different teams different levels of all in.

😁
 
The term all in to me means sacrificing future for the present. We can all decide if that happened. Arguments both ways.
 
They made multiple moves this off season so the sports media terms it “all in”. Ok, if that’s the way they see it.
To me I like to use the analogy of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. The organization still has the exact same leadership steering the ship.
The bigger question remains, how will that change? Will Tomlin and his lackeys continue in their old ways or will we see the transformation with more innovative schemes both on offense and defense? Will we see little to no halftime adjustments or will that change as well?
That to me is the bigger question… Changes in coaching philosophies or the stays quo?
We shall see!

“All in” all, (pun intended) I would say we didn’t mortgage the future for the present. In fact I would say we set ourselves up pretty nicely with draft capital.
