@JJWatt I don’t think anyone will dispute that Garrett is elite. But you are correct in asking what else TJ has to do. If this level of production doesn’t make him the runaway winner, the standard for him must be much higher than anyone else, including MG.

Najee is under contract through 2025. Jaylen Warren is a Restricted Free Agent. The Steelers should absolutely make every realistic effort to keep this duo together. The ground game can’t be stopped with a solid run blocking OL and two backs who run like they’re possessed.

The Steelers won 8 games and almost made the playoffs with the worst QB play in the NFL. Ben Roethlisberger playing average football gets them to 10 wins. Ben Roethlisberger playing good football gets them to 11-12 wins. Take this as facts

The Steelers have a WR on the roster who runs a 4.3, finished top 4 in every agility drill, and has an athleticism grade of 87. Has one of the only explosive TD receptions on the season. Apparently nobody knows how to get him in space or down the field vertically.

Everyone relax on the “it wasn’t Conner, it was the Steelers” nonsense. He’s averaging 12 touches and 3.8 YPC in an explosive passing offense. Love his story, happy he’s having success, but Najee Harris is better and a future All-Pro. No mistake was made by the Steelers.

I still can’t believe Brian Flores is in Pittsburgh. This is the best hire they’ve made since Mike Tomlin himself back in ‘07. He’ll get Devin Bush back on track. Bring innovative schematic ideas. Remember what he did to Lamar Jackson? He’s the piece the staff was missing.

Just think if the Steelers had replaced Canada in the offseason with a real OC, and promoted Flores to DC. As Alan Saunders pointed out, nobody knows how much autonomy Mike T. has in these decisions, but he is the guy that has to talk to the media. Losing Flores was insane.

Kenny should have stayed and competed. That’s how you get redemption. Throw everything else out the window, it definitely appears that he didn’t want to step up. The argument that he wasn’t set up for success is valid, BUT there’s no excuse for running from competition.
