00:00
And you have now said four times on this show in separate independent
00:04
segments that you need the coach and you need the quarterback.
00:06
The guards need to protect the quarterback because if not, who's the quarterback?
00:10
But I'd like to hear some names when you, I like when you do say, oh,
00:14
they need a tight end. This guy may fit in. That's a lot of fun for me.
00:17
Let's do that with the Steelers now, because you say they need a quarterback.
00:21
People say, what about Justin Fields? So let's start there.
00:25
Well, your quarterbacks are all free agents.
00:27
So you're going to have to sign one of them because right now you don't have a
00:29
quarterback on this team. And that was, again,
00:32
the tragic flaw to me when it came to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025.
00:36
So you have a 36 year old quarterback and a 26 year old quarterback.
00:40
And I understand you didn't think you were going to get a chance to get the 26
00:42
year old quarterback,
00:43
but once you did and once you got thrust in a position to start him and once you
00:47
were four and two with that quarterback, who cares about the playoffs?
00:51
Figure out if this is the guy you want to be the future of your franchise.
00:54
This was a guy who was playing for national championships in Ohio state.
00:57
Well, just cause he had a couple of bad rounds with the, the bears,
01:02
the bears were supposed to give up on him as a talent. It's ludicrous.
01:06
It's absolutely. It's, it's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
01:09
How's it going for Kayla Williams with his development at the end of the year?
01:11
How'd that go with the bears organization?
01:13
So let's not pin it all on Justin Fields because every quarterback needs good
01:17
development teachers around him. When they transitioned to the NFL,
01:21
part of what's happening with Jane Daniels is the fact that he's got cliff
01:23
Kingsbury around and we can have differing opinions.
01:26
And I know there's a lot out there on cliff Kingsbury's pluses and minuses,
01:30
but I think he understands the quarterback play.
01:32
I think Jane Daniels is benefiting a lot from cliff Kingsbury being around.
01:36
So that being said,
01:36
the Steelers really need to figure out quarterback first and foremost,
01:39
because they have coach. I think, I don't think Tomlin's going anywhere,
01:42
but maybe it is time for a change more on that later,
01:46
but they definitely need more wide receiver help too.
01:49
And they're going to need running back help too,
01:50
because Najee Harris and Jalen Warren, both are going to walk possibly.
01:53
So now all of a sudden you're looking at a completely revamped offense.
01:57
And are you trusting Arthur Smith to be that guy, to revamp that offense, Matt,
02:00
to me, that is the biggest problem here for the Steelers.
02:02
There's just so many questions, right? So many questions.
02:05
And there's no answers on personnel.
02:07
I've heard the rumors about Aaron Rogers and Devante Adams coming in.
02:11
You want to talk about side shows, man, that is a side show.
02:14
I could see people trying to chase after those guys with terrible towels after
02:19
two weeks. It would not be the situation. I think anybody would be looking for.
02:23
So quarterback, massive problem.
02:25
And the fact that they weren't willing to step back one year as an organization
02:28
to figure that out is it's unforgivable for me.
02:32
I think it's going to set the Steelers back five years.
