Show up and find out because, as we have seen, who knows??

If the Steelers decide to go all in on a trade for a QB, do you see a possible trade of guys like either Highsmith or Freiermuth to sweeten the pot or bring in draft picks to sweeten the pot?
Gerry Dulac
10:25
Anything is possible of course.

Hi Gerry, Knee issues at his position and in rookie year may sound alarm bells. Any concern within Steelers regarding Harmon’s long-term health? Love his potential!
Gerry Dulac
10:25
None

Hi Gerry. I understand the chatter about firing Tomlin. But Tomlin should have been fired when he had a franchise QB and 2 of the best offensive weapons in the NFL. His defense failed during that Super Bowl window. Since Ben has left I believe his teams have overachieved.
Gerry Dulac
10:25
You raise an intriguing point

Hello Gerry - I know that you pass all the suggestions from this chat each week along to the Steeler's top brass. :-) Please tell them not to bring in any new receivers that are not at least 6 feet tall. Thank you

I'll make a note!

Hi Gerry, has Gainwell been the Steelers' best and most consistent offensive player this season?
Gerry Dulac
10:27
He's certainly been one of them. So for all the wailing about signing Darius Slay, let's not forget the decision to sign Gainwell, who has been better and more impactful than ANYONE expected.

Gerry, to be fair Tomlin is getting a lot of heat; is it warranted or could a magician also not be able to consistently with the roster that is assembled ?
Gerry Dulac
10:31
That's why the national media always gives Tomlin credit -- for doing more with less.

Does Art Rooney 2 realize the state of this team and just as importantly does he care?
Gerry Dulac
10:32
He does and he does. I think he is well aware they lead the division
TorturedFan
10:32
if Art Rooney was a CEO of a public company with a board of directors would he have been shown the door yet?  I argue he would as he is under performing the market. If the market place is defined as being in the top echelon of competitive teams and  having a good enjoyable product to sell.
Gerry Dulac
10:33
Maybe it's me but I'm sensing a little disgruntlement here. You do realize this is a Steelers chat and not a Pirates chat, right??

While I still think Coach Tomlin is a good leader of men and don't think he should be fired, do you think it was a big mistake by ARII to sign HCMT to that extension in 2024?  While ARII still has leverage and is the boss, seems it would have been easier to press for changes if he didn't owe him $32m.
Gerry Dulac
10:36
I've never quite understood the urgency to offer an extension when I thought it was perfectly within professional reason to wait a little during this eight-year playoff-win drought. Then again, what it tells you is they are fully committed to Mike Tomlin, regardless.

Hi Gerry, do you have any insight as to why Roman Wilson was benched last week?  I realize they wanted Thielen and MVS in the game, but Wilson had been making more plays than CA III in recent weeks.  I thought he had been trending slightly up.
Gerry Dulac
10:37
He has been trending up, but once again they made a decision based on special teams and that's why Scottie Miller dressed and Wilson did not

Think they regret taking Kaleb Johnson? He may turn out to be a good player but they sure could have used help at WR or DB right now.
Gerry Dulac
10:37
No they don't

Hey Gerry,  looking ahead towards the off-season regardless of how the rest of the season plays out (besides quarterback and a legit WR2),  what would be the biggest need this offseason to address?
Gerry Dulac
10:38
Another DL would be nice
SBJ

Hey Gerry, how “likely” is the Likely touchdown? not a “touchdown “? catch rule be addressed in the offseason by the Rules Committee?
Gerry Dulac
10:38
In all Likely-hood, it should be

I think WR drafting and development is a major issue for the offense...moreso than the running game.  QB is more than adequate this year but receivers (sans Metcalf) can't get open.   Steelers used to find gems in mid-late rounds and develop them.  While GP was a hit, he is a head case (along with Claypool),  Wilson appears to not pay attention to details, and Austin has the catch radius of an ant. I think the running game would flourish if they could get the passing game to average. Thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
10:40
It's the ol' cart-before-the-horse argument. Maybe the WRs would have more space if the running game was cranking
TorturedFan

If Mike Tomlin had josh allen would the Steelers be elite? I am not convinced that the only missing piece is a young franchise QB
Gerry Dulac
10:41
Maybe not, but it's a good place around which to build a quality team going forward. All 32 teams would agree
Chill Dave

Hi Gerry, how many PG commenters out there do you think were disappointed that the Steelers beat their hated rival, knowing it meant a respite from the heat Tomlin was taking after the Buffalo loss?
Gerry Dulac
10:42
I can't speak to the PG commenters, but I'm sure there are some among the fan base, maybe even the media

Is the stability of the head coach, which the Steelers Organization obviously covets and has a fascination with, a good thing when it means hovering around a game or two over .500 at seasons end every year and not making or winning playoff games or fool's gold?
Gerry Dulac
10:42
You mean, how long is the same old thing going to be tolerated??
Tyler

Much respect to Gainwell for his play to date.  Steelers MVP?  Re-signing him is a no-brainer in my book.  Thoughts Gerry?
Gerry Dulac
10:43
Ya know, you could make that argument. But Boswell and Jalen Ramsey gotta be front-runners.
Noah Kravitz
10:43
Favorite player coming out of next year's draft?
Gerry Dulac
10:43
Give me three more months
Takoma Tom
10:44
since the standard is a .500 season does Tomlin’s contract automatically renew if they get 9 wins?  How can we end mediocrity?
