Cerrato will be a good GM. He's a good personnel guy. Sure, he's made some big mistakes... but not recently. I seriously expect all but one or two of our offseason acquisitions (FA and draft) to pan out under his management.

Re: Zorn "probably the worst NFL hire of all time"??
I'm very optomistic about Zorn. My only fear is that he goes 7-9 or better and Snyder gives him the axe to go after Cowher next year. Now if we are 4-12 or worse, i would agree with such a move, but this team has way too much talent to be less than 5-11, even under a new regime.

Do you honestly believe that Cowher would come here if Snyder did that and would'nt give him total control? |

I want to be content with getting Cower out of my system all together, because I do not think Snyder would fire Zorn even if he's not wholly successful in his first year. On the other hand, what would be considered success for this team in 2008? Would anything short of a playoff apearence be considered a failure? I'm more concerned with the fan reaction to Zorn if he struggles some in this his initial season. |

I don't know if I could say no playoff appearance = failure but it sure would prove the dissenters right.

Re: Zorn "probably the worst NFL hire of all time"??
I don't get the love for Cowher. Count me as firmly in the "he's overrated bigtime" group. I haven't one clue why everyone thinks he a savior. He was never a personell guy in Pittsburg and definitely has a Marty Schottenheimer feel to him. You that feeling that he really is only like 10-6 type coach who has trouble winning the big ones. He did get a SB but 1 in 12 years really isn't all that great. Don't get me wrong I don't think he is a bad coach but I am not convinced he is as great as many would like to believe.

Re: Zorn "probably the worst NFL hire of all time"??
I think we have playoff potential. If we play well and miss the playoffs I'd be ok. I am more worried about us simply playing poorly. Given good health and solid gameplans I think we are a playoff team. Anything less than solid play wouldn't be success to me.

That's one of the problems I envision on the horizon, no playoff apearence and the pessimists will have fuel to raise their voices. The expectations are going to be high [as well they should be] despite the fact we have a new HC with minimal, to no experience in the position. Under normal circumstances one would think that fact alone would warrant a grace period. However, Zorn has inherited a playoff team in a division with no team playing under 500, that automatically raises the competitive level as well what's expected from the team standpoint. |

Re: Zorn "probably the worst NFL hire of all time"??
How many playoff games did they lose at home over the years? Wasn't it like 3 or 4 in the championship game alone?
