Yes, This Team Can Win

I'm one of the few who doesn't think management has been horrible recently. No seriously.

Granted, historically Mike brown is the worst owner/GM in sports history. But over the last several years I'd say the only thing management is truly guilty of is hanging on to Marv too long. Sure, I'm not a fan of ignoring high profile free agents or ignoring the trenches in the draft, but at the same time that approach has worked (up until recently). I was furious they let Whitworth and Zeitler get away, but honestly Zeitler isn't worth what he got from Cleveland. I'm not so sure Whitworth ever truly intended to come back here either. The main reason we rarely win in Primetime, seldom best Pittsburgh, and haven't won a playoff game is poor coaching. That's my belief anyway.

We replace Marvin with someone with football smarts and a killer instinct... Then I think we'll be real contenders in just a few years (maybe even sooner).



That's a HUGE part of it, no doubt.  However, to lay some on management, this team ALWAYS has a fatal flaw that could have been addressed with a decent FA or two that good opponents always exploit and attack.  See Owen Daniels vs Rey Maualuga for example.....or pressure up the gut with Blodine.  The biggest onus is on coaching, I've said that since the old board, but the FO has some culpability for being cheapskates as well.....not to mention promoting in house turds as coordinators at times, and keeping Piano Man since Dave Shula. :paul:
