Sad news, he was DS's best coaching hire.

RIP

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Figured it wasn't going to be long after the news last week. RIP Marty. Great coach and from all accounts an even better man.

Marty firing = Snyder's worst football related fuck-up

Whenever the word hospice pops up, very bad news is typically right around the corner.

RIP Marty!

Today feels like the day some actual WFT news happens. I don't know why, maybe just my boredom.

The Washington Post really pissed me off with how they handled the news regarding the passing of Marty.

“Marty Schottenheimer, NFL coach whose teams wilted in the postseason, dies at 77”

Unbelievably inappropriate and insensitive.

They've since changed the headline, but yeah, total trash move on their part. Who thought that was a good idea?

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Seriously what I was thinking. Who was like “ok a real good person who everyone respects died after a really sad and public bout with Alzheimer’s , I think ill lead with his ineptitude in the playoffs”. Wow.

Who wrote that headline, and who signed off on that headline? Fuckin' disgraceful.

Next year is gonna be fun.

My off-season dream:

Re-Sign Scherff
Sign Allen Robinson or Kenny Golladay or Chris Godwin[/quote]

The WR decision is interesting.
Bucs just won SB with riches at WR, 1 due to Brady coattails, 2 they drafted, 1 on rookie deal, 1 on long term. Bucs have cap space could conceivably resign Godwin. McLaurin year 3 of 4 year rookie deal next year and may (rightfully) want a new contract by beginning of year 4.
Let's assume we are going to resign McL.
Question is, do we want $30M+ tied up at WR in 2022 and beyond?
I don't know. Not saying yes, not saying know (no, LOL), I don't know totality of picture trying to resign our other home grown talent. Do we want to let Allen or Payne walk in 2022 or 2023 or whenever to sign a WR? Curious to hear what people think. In theory we could afford both, but then you add Scherff, etc., maybe not. Fortunately and unfortunately we don't have a ton of older talent so could be possible to lock up entire DL and FA WR and Scherff etc.

You'd like to hope one of young potential #2s on our roster steps up, but that could be fool's gold.

You have to fill the big 5 leverage positions to contend. There are no shutdown/#1 corners, franchise QBs, franchise LTs available in FA. There are franchise or #1 WRs, so might be smart to grab one. I would tend to want to overpay a bit and get the absolute most elite WR, rather than just the 2nd or 3rd best. We need someone with size opposite McL. Evans is a monster, watching him makes me wish one of our younger guys, bigger ones, had panned out.

Sucks our best OL is at such a low leverage position. We should be resigning a franchise LT or C, not the least important position on OL at RG.

If we sign a WR, then we can draft LT,QB,CB,MLB or FS with top four picks.

I am not the Judge and if he actually did turn his life around and found God that quickly, that's awesome, but it's just an odd post considering circumstances. He has a track record of immaturity.

Anyways, good luck, kid...hope you turn everything around on and of the field.

I don't think he can beat out Josh Dobbs or even Duck Hodges for third-string QB if he comes back to town.[/quote]

The Steelers have the long view in mind. They have had Big Ben for 15 years plus and won 2 SBs with him. They understand the value of long-term stability at QB and are looking for the next 10 year+ starter at QB. No one would dispute that Haskins has 1st round talent, he has a live arm and is accurate when he doesn't get lazy with mechanics, but he is a mess mentally in terms of both maturity and the basic intelligence to read Ds. You bring him in, and he has 2 years to get it together. The price is one roster slot, 3rd string QB, if he stops the ridiculousness immediately over short term, with the potential payoff being a long-term franchise QB without spending any draft picks. Can you imagine how Pittsburgh is sitting if Haskins can become even a quality back-up? Much less starter? If Haskins is the Pittsburgh franchise QB in 2023 for the next decade? It is a long shot, but a smart one, given how hard franchise QBs are to find. He takes the roster position of a 6th CB or LB that primarily plays ST.

The mentality is what is telling. The long-term perspective. The Skins were smart for cutting Haskins. It was the right choice. But we need the same long-term perspective when it comes to finding our franchise QB, and not knee-jerk trades.

Man Haskins was a tool. Gift wrapped a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and flushes it down the drain. What a moron. The laziness in game prep was the real killer, and the lack of character to face the media. He doesn't seem to love the game and probably attained success in college without putting in the kind of work a pro QB does in film, preparation, etc. Interesting to see if he is ever willing to put in that kind of work. If you don't love that process, love the game, 20+ hours a week in addition to practice can become quite a grind. The scouts almost certainly told THE DAN this before he picked Haskins anyway.

RIP indeed.
Now your supposition that Marty firing is worst THE DAN decision could spark some fun debate. Hiring Allen? Keeping Allen? Hiring Cerrato Ye Dunce? Keeping him? Hiring Zorn? Forcing RGIII trade? I mean firing Marty was dumb, but it is SOOOO hard to rank THE DAN'S dumbest decisions because there have been so many.
