Russell Wilson is now a Steeler

[pczach]

I'm rather salty about the move, and nowhere near excited about it, but I have to begrudgingly hope for its success too (though there is also that annoying part of me who wishes to be right). This season is boom or likely blow it up. Let's see what they can do.

In the event that Wilson stinks up the joint or is injured, all these moves to improve the roster will also help Kenny Pickett if he needs to play.

There is so much that needs to play out before we can say that this is just a one-year shot.

It seems to me that in the past the steelers have played better when the schedule was tougher. Maybe my brain is fogged but that is what i remember.

Less chance for Tomlin games

At some point, they're gonna have to upgrade the offense though. All of the moves (sans Wilson) have benefited the defense. Right now (sans Wilson), the offense is worse than a week ago. I expect them to add some players to offense, but the Steelers tend to think that defense is going to win them a championship, the way they load up their payroll on defense.

It’s tough to win either way. Yes, the offense has to be better and the defense has to stay healthy. We have never been a shoot it out franchise. Play great defense and run the ball. I don’t think that is boring or bad football.

The deal is official.

Neither boring nor bad. Just doesn't win Super Bowls when Patrick Mahomes is standing in the way.

It's not, but any way to bring Kenny into the conversation...

Can Kenny get high knees like that? Russ can.

Oh, really?? LOL... only probably one of the most recognizable pics from Superbowl XL... sheesh

Mahomes just clinched his second straight being mostly pedestrian as the Chiefs Defense was surprisingly dominant.

When the game is on the line, Mahomes is anything but pedestrian. Although, that's what his receivers are.

Listening to Wilson's press conference, he needs to get into politics after he retires. Very slick on the podium.

Yeah he called the leaders, Cam, TJ, and Minkah. Cam politicking for him also may have lead to Kenny becoming a hostage

That's what I was thinking too. When your defensive stars are advocating for someone else, that's got to get to you.

Here's hoping Hurts gets inured and Pickett has to start against the Steelers!!

That would be too sweet! TJ has got to be healthy though.

I am not expecting these moves to bring us to the top this season. I do expect this is setting up the Omar Khan plan for this team though. You guys keep screaming we want to play chess, then complain because you can't see the next move coming. This is fun for me and I cannot wait to see what's next. Definitely not a boring offseason this year.

[Steeler-in-west]

Maybe the players couldn’t discern who was really more at fault; Kenny or Canada. But they saw Kenny back there not making plays. Canada was the invisible man up in the booth. Maybe that’s why he was up there, to hide as he was causing chaos. I would say it’s mostly Canada that’s to blame but it cost Kenny his career in Pittsburgh.

[DesertSteel]

I don’t buy into excuses too much. Real talent and determination will rise to the top regardless of obstacles. Just like I don’t buy that David Carr’s career was ruined by a poor offensive line. I saw lots of poor quarterback play out of Pickett that had nothing to do with the scheme or the play call. He’s not a Steeler anymore. So good luck beating out Jalen Hurts.

[Dwinsgames]

you all can say what ya want but I say this is a class act
