Does Tomlin still ride Cowher's coattails?

As for how they've done without Ben, how many organizations do you know of that routinely carry two franchise quarterbacks on their roster?  You're holding up a ridiculous standard.  

Not really holding them to a standard, let alone a ridiculous one. Vick had some success in a couple places. Landry was a major college big program QB. There is/was a lot of talent there. Too much for them to look as bad as they did. 

When Dalton went down in '15, McCarron came in and was able to keep his play at a 90+ QB rating level. 

As i said in my last post, you asked about those that talked about if Tomlin was still riding Cowher's coat tails. As long as he still has Ben, he is in a way.
