Kahn vs. Colbert

Colbert was excellent for the time he served. However, the game and players are continually evolving and Colbert really didn't evolve well, maybe it was because of HCMT set in his ways and really influencing who he wanted. Kahn is approaching the game in a more modern manner along with Weidel and I feel McCarthy has a more modern sense of draft/free agent needs. Kahn and Weidel have made real efforts into beefing up the trenches and building a strong foundation.

You have to do more than make efforts though, you still need results and here's the results, the last 3 playoff games with Kahn/Weidel's guys we've been outscored 89-37 and out rushed 643 to 198, including the worse home playoff lost in our history.
I feel like everyone is trying to give these guys a participation trophy for trying.
Hopefully with Tomlin out of here we'll see better results in the draft, Dotson was a good pick who is has been a 3 year starter with the Rams, Tomlin had no clue, it was Tomlin who was spewing garbage about how good Kendrick Green could be as an NFL Center.
 
Just build the trenches and everything else happens.
 
1. You’re never going to know until both careers are concluded. (Most functional organizations don’t operate in terms of an inter-generational d**k measuring contest. It’s about collective effort.)

2. Praise and blame are attributed to the general manager, but, credit can be a collective effort or the work of a completely separate individual. It’s like a corporation. (Ex. Jobs didn’t spearhead the engineering of the iPhone. He had input on features, aesthetics and marketing but, the engineers did the reverse work and initial design. Jobs oversaw Apple as a totality and as founder.)
 
Well sure as **** don't spend huge draft capital on a qb until you have guys to protect him
No. If a QB is good enough, you take them regardless of the rest of the roster. Also, the Steelers have drafted Jones, Fautanu, Frazier, and McCormick. They've developed Anderson who may take over at left guard (who knows if he's any good as a starter). Either way, they've invested plenty in the position and can find starters in the middle rounds. This team has trouble scoring points and needed a 40+ year old QB to change that last season. There is a strong foundation of linemen in place, time to add playmakers and QB.
