Wilson's ability to extend the play is beyond belief. I remember one year they had a really ****** line. He was taking like a 9 step drop to basically put the end in a bind. Go wide and he steps up, go narrow he will take edge at will. Even now when the game is on the line like it was in Pitt last fall, he is very difficult to stop.

I agree there is other athletically gifted that easily got the job done Wilson included. I just think his pure speed isn't on par with the fan three.

Kordell issues ware all mental. When things didn't go right he went into the tank. He wasn't able to overcome his mistakes and put them behind him.
Pretty spot on. But still loved me some slash!

I, of course, have always been a Stewart fan. The truth is, however that Pete Carrol did what virtually every other DC failed to do. He figured out an easy and pretty much fool-proof way to stop Stewart. Take you fastest LB or Safety, and have them play disciplined spy. Don't rush Stewart, but contain him. The MOMENT Stewart breaks contain and starts to run at all - forget coverage and converge. He could not throw on the run. The second he broke pocket and started moving, he was a running back, and that was it.
Some fun, gut wrenching games to watch, no doubt about it. Miss those days and TRS.
The problem with read/option and RPO offenses is that they expose your QB to extra hits and it becomes a matter of when you get a big injury not if. That is why pocket passers are a premium. If you can read a defense, get the ball out on time, you can play a lot of football with a much lower risk of injury. Unless you have 2 QBs that can run that offense, your season is basically over as soon as your starting QB goes down.

You know me, I love be unpopular and right. What you said is 100% true
Had Rooney kept O'Donell the Steelers likely play in another super bowl
Had Rooney Kept Rod Woodson, maybe the secondary would not have been so bad in the later 1990's to early 00'
Had the Rooney's kept Kevin Greene....
Management let go a decent quarterback who really didn't have great skills players around him, and two hall of fame players on defense, with plenty left to give go. Hindsight 20/20 stuff, but the reason I think it took many years to get back to the super bowl.

I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole........ OH, wait a minute..... I tape it to a 10ft pole to hold it further away when reading it...! !!!
Coach, there you go again patting yourself (not sure where because of the convulsing going with it.

It would be unfair not to mention Stewart’s 2500 rushing yards with the Steelers. As exciting as Kordell was,I mean C’mon. It was the interceptions that killed him and a lot of our chances. He had 70 td’s to 72int’s with Pitt. He never seemed to learn from his mistakes. At times just frigging brutal.

If only we could get rid of you.
You'd be bored and uninformed if that happened. Try saying what I wrote is not true.
Oh wait you can't. But go for it anyway.

One could look at the numbers and argue that Stewart had a far better season in '97 than ODonnell had in 96. True, he played badly in the playoffs, particularly the AFCC game. But he was, after all, essentially a rookie.
I believe the coaches should have planned for the playoff teams, especially the Broncos to have a good deal of tape on the (rookie) QB and to be prepared for all the things he did so well earlier in the season and counter with a different gameplan. If they had, the Steelers likely would have won the AFCC game. Then, maybe they would have won the Superbowl and perhaps history would have been changed...
Hell it turns out this is really easy. I could do this all day!

If Ben Roethlisberger hadn't had his motorcycle accident, it is likely that he would have won 12 Superbowls in a row! Prove me wrong!
If Antonio Brown had been 6 inches taller, maybe he would have played Tight End and been good, but not extraordinary. Prove me wrong!
James Conner is another year removed from his bout with cancer. Does that mean...

Kordell was exciting and fun to watch, but he was also aggravating as hell to watch. It's as if he was a rookie his entire career. Both Worm Burner Boy and Bubby O'Donnel had great teams around them. Steelers were always "a QB away from a championship" with both of them.

A little ways into the season Cowher had to take over the OC job because Sherman just couldn't cut it. I admired that about Cowher, he stepped in when needed and had the Foresite to do it.
