00:00And you have now said four times on this show in separate independent

00:04segments that you need the coach and you need the quarterback.

00:06The guards need to protect the quarterback because if not, who's the quarterback?

00:10But I'd like to hear some names when you, I like when you do say, oh,

00:14they need a tight end. This guy may fit in. That's a lot of fun for me.

00:17Let's do that with the Steelers now, because you say they need a quarterback.

00:21People say, what about Justin Fields? So let's start there.

00:25Well, your quarterbacks are all free agents.

00:27So you're going to have to sign one of them because right now you don't have a

00:29quarterback on this team. And that was, again,

00:32the tragic flaw to me when it came to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025.

00:36So you have a 36 year old quarterback and a 26 year old quarterback.

00:40And I understand you didn't think you were going to get a chance to get the 26

00:42year old quarterback,

00:43but once you did and once you got thrust in a position to start him and once you

00:47were four and two with that quarterback, who cares about the playoffs?

00:51Figure out if this is the guy you want to be the future of your franchise.

00:54This was a guy who was playing for national championships in Ohio state.

00:57Well, just cause he had a couple of bad rounds with the, the bears,

01:02the bears were supposed to give up on him as a talent. It's ludicrous.

01:06It's absolutely. It's, it's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

01:09How's it going for Kayla Williams with his development at the end of the year?

01:11How'd that go with the bears organization?

01:13So let's not pin it all on Justin Fields because every quarterback needs good

01:17development teachers around him. When they transitioned to the NFL,

01:21part of what's happening with Jane Daniels is the fact that he's got cliff

01:23Kingsbury around and we can have differing opinions.

01:26And I know there's a lot out there on cliff Kingsbury's pluses and minuses,

01:30but I think he understands the quarterback play.

01:32I think Jane Daniels is benefiting a lot from cliff Kingsbury being around.

01:36So that being said,

01:36the Steelers really need to figure out quarterback first and foremost,

01:39because they have coach. I think, I don't think Tomlin's going anywhere,

01:42but maybe it is time for a change more on that later,

01:46but they definitely need more wide receiver help too.

01:49And they're going to need running back help too,

01:50because Najee Harris and Jalen Warren, both are going to walk possibly.

01:53So now all of a sudden you're looking at a completely revamped offense.

01:57And are you trusting Arthur Smith to be that guy, to revamp that offense, Matt,

02:00to me, that is the biggest problem here for the Steelers.

02:02There's just so many questions, right? So many questions.

02:05And there's no answers on personnel.

02:07I've heard the rumors about Aaron Rogers and Devante Adams coming in.

02:11You want to talk about side shows, man, that is a side show.

02:14I could see people trying to chase after those guys with terrible towels after

02:19two weeks. It would not be the situation. I think anybody would be looking for.

02:23So quarterback, massive problem.

02:25And the fact that they weren't willing to step back one year as an organization

02:28to figure that out is it's unforgivable for me.

02:32I think it's going to set the Steelers back five years.
