But not enough to win a championship with the chiefs (pretty good defense and Marcus Allen in his twilight as I remember). The list of QB's that beat the Steelers in the Playoffs between 1992-2005 is rather large. Did you want all of them too?

Well, we know the horse can talk from the commercials, so this is a valid point.

Joe
 
I understand why the Steelers said no. Cowher was just building the team, Neil was younger and cheaper and plus the Niners didn't want Joe anymore so the thinking I'm sure was that he was done with. But, the what if sure is fun. Think about it. Joe would have been on the 94 team that lost to the Chargers, who went on to get crushed by who in the SB? Young and the Niners. Imagine, if Montana got the Steelers over that Charger hump, Young and the Niners going for SB trophy number 5 against Montana and the Steelers also going for SB trophy number 5 against his old team and the guy that pushed him out of town. That's a hollywood script of hollywood scripts.

Tebow beat Ben in the playoffs do you want to cut Ben and trade for Tebow or just trade Tebow for Ben straight up?

Kind of humiliating that that was the last game Tebow played at QB in the NFL. Beat us in the playoffs and put up over 300 yards but wasn't good enough to start for the Jets the next year.
That ranks up there with Barry Bond's failure to throw out Sid Bream.

I wasn't talking specifically about what he said. I just figured that since you'd take all those QBs simply because they beat the Steelers then you'd do the same now... especially since you don't even know who they were... sorry you had issues drawing the parallels. I'll try to keep it more simple next time. But thanks for trying to play anyway.

Well he went out on a high note......kinda like the high note that happens when a screen door slams and hits you in the nuts.
 
The only reason Tebow had the game he had was because the Steelers showed him no respect whatsoever as a passer. Had they played in anything other than basically a goal-line defense the entire game we would have throttled the Broncos. Geez, he only completed like 10 or 11 passes. He threw nothing but ducks. It was just that our DBs were busy playing inside linebacker all day expecting runs.

Let the squirrely little dork run. He sure as **** wasn't going to run for 300 yards.

My exact words were all the ones who were BETTER then what we trotted out..once again thanks for playing. Now go finish being depressed
 
Imagine this... in '94 with Montana, we beat SD in AFCC and then have the Super Bowl matchup of Young v Montana......Possibly the biggest hyped SB ever with that matchup.

That being said, I cant blame them for going with Neil O'Donnell. Makes sense.
 
Its a nice thought but Neil was a pretty solid QB. The interceptions in the Super Bowl are hard to stomach but the drive to win against the Colts was led by him. If he wasn't run out of town after the SB who knows what would've happened.
 
Neil was more a downfield passer, so it's really hard to say what Joe would have done. I think they made the right choice at the time.

If you look back at the Super Bowl run, he was a big reason they turned it around that year. In fact, the Bears game was all Neil, making some huge throws to win the game and help save the season. I agree with Justin, had he stayed around, the Steelers could have been back in the big game sooner than later.

As I recall the interceptions were largely on a rookie wr playing for an injured Ernie Mills. He had a shoulder injury an couldn't lift his arm which led to one and just ran the wrong route which caused the other. Still wasn't quite as bad as Peyton' show against Seattle. Incidently ODonnell has like the fourth lowest interception.per pass ratio in NFL history.
 
Corey Holiday ran the wrong route on one. Hastings the other I believe. Had they won that game Cowhers surprise onside may have been the ballsiest call in SB history.

To be fair, O'Donnell threw what should have been a game-ending pick six to a Colts' LB in the 1995 AFCC, but Ernie Mills bailed him out by knocking the ball out of the defender's arms.

O'Donnell did not turn out to be bad QB, but he was not a particularly good one either.

His mechanics were always erratic, as it looked like he was escaping from a fire every time he went back to throw.

He was another one that always had that WTF look on his face like the lights were on and nobody was home.
