Looks like the drop off from Big Ben to Mason Rudolph is enormous. Steelers are not going to win most games this season. They may regret trading that first rounder.

EXACTLY why i said trading for minkah was a shaky move

Even if the steelers lose most of their games, Minkah was the right choice.

Ben didn't have Tommy John. They aren't counting him out yet. Minkah was worth it.

They might need to consider looking elsewhere for a QB though.

Doesn't look like he's replicating Ben.
who are they gonna bring in kaep? theres no one out there........Bens done for the year............maybe a year left.......

it's really going to hurt. But doesn't mean it wasn't the right choice. There is no guarantee they draft a QB next year.

Next year's draft capital for the Steelers:

1- 2nd Rd Pick (wherever PIT ends up)
2- 4th Rd Pick (wherever MIA ends up)
3- 4th Rd pick (wherever PIT ends up)
4- 4th Rd Pick (wherever TEN ends up)
5- 6th Rd Pick (wherever PIT ends up)
6- 7th Rd Pick (wherever PIT ends up)

Yikes

THey arent drafting a qb next year, they got rid of their capital..........if they do its a late rounder.....

They need to string together a drive to burn some clock. This D needs a break.

And the cap hit a 1st round pick would have commanded if they had that 1st pick, to pursue a FA.
$21m in dead money from AB + $9m cap hit from Dupree that should be gone... That's a pretty sizable door that opens up.

Sign Juju & Watt. Or 5th year option Watt & sign Conner instead

Well duh. But if they had kept that 1st rounder there is still no guarantee it was going to be a QB.

I don't think it was gonna be a qb even if they had it.

I hope Rivera refuses to ever start Cam again. Granted, the Cards defense is putrid but it's time to move on for good.
